| Which tubes to replace Threshold SA/1 monos The SA/1's were one of the all time classic amps ever made . Tube or solid state. In my opinion you would be making a big mistake switching to tubes, especially with those speakers. I would keep what you have and enjoy the music. | |
| Gallo 3.1's and amps? I'm driving my 3.1's with a pair of 60 watt tube mono-blocks with no problems. I play a lot of rock and at times it can get pretty loud. If you are a real headbanger you may need a more powerful amp, but tubes will be fine. | |

| Arm upgrade for Gyrodec SE, could use some help Agree with Mofimadness and Viridan 100%. You have a very good front end. The Alphason is an excellent arm. If I were to change anything it would be the amp and I'm not even so sure about that. | |
