Pass or First Watt
I have not run a 30.5. But based on what I have read about the SIT amps, I would go with them for sure. Give Mark at Reno Hi-Fi a ring if you don't have a dealer in your area. He is great and has a great return policy. A class A dealer (in more th...

Good deal. Enjoy! The external power supplies make a nice improvement. 
SS amp as opposed to tube amp
As for costs of tube vs solid state amps, there are some less expensive tube amps out there (up to about 100 watts or so). For efficient speakers the MiniWatt is amazing at $350ish. For more powerful amps, look at Rogue or Quicksilver. Line Magnet...

Donjr,What tubes are you using with your Rogue? A tube change might get you what you want. In particular, maybe look into KT120s.

Best bourbon?

Best bourbon?
Pops, I assume you are referring to the Single Barrel Knob Creek Rye. And yes, it is fabulous. Though I haven't had a chance to compare them, when I was applauding the Knob Creek rye, a knowledgeable bartender friend told me she found Bulleit Rye ... 
Replace volume pot
Sounds like you have a problem that a new attenuators will not fix. You need either an amp or pre with more gain. 
Tube Amps from China
Alphaattitude06, Better sound is not just a matter of tube vs. solid state. More important is matching your amp and speakers. IMO, due to the higher cost per watt of tube amplification and the Maggies well-documented need for power you will have a... 
Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No
Larryi's post makes me think that this is not as simple as tube v. solid state. There are topologies to also be considered. In the tube world, there is SET, push-pull, and OTL. In addition to triode, pentode and ultralinear designs (some tube amps...
