| Plinius SS or Cayin SET Depends on how long you leave the amp on for as stated above but for pure music listening I would go with the Cayin or one of their higher power integrateds like the 88T, 70T, or 50T.I have Cayin 265Ai Class A solid state integrated and love it. F... | |

| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II From what a mainly gather most people seem to like the 5751's better than the 12ax7. The two times I have tried 5751's in place of 12ax7's they sound more musical and focused. | |
| opinions please: CJ PV12L w/ a BAT VK200? LOL...I have had lots of bad vibes from sellers here but life marches on :)The MF series should be a good match. I would tend to get some cables that are relatively neutral sounding. Not sure of your budget? | |
| opinions please: CJ PV12L w/ a BAT VK200? I am not sure of the differences between the PV10b and the PV12L but I didn't like the 10B with my VK200. It was too dark and laid back for my tastes. If the 12 is more transparent then it would be a decent fit but of course this is my 2 cents. My... | |
| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II I forgot to add the seller gave me a pair of NOS RCA 12ax7 cleartops for my integrated. I have not put them in yet but he said they were a warm sounding tube. It doesn't sound like they are as warm as the Mullards you speak of. I used some GE 12au... | |

| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II Jerico I found the NOS GE triple mica black plate that I had stashed to be much more precise and less fuzzy than the stock Sovtek 12ax7LPS so I can relate. Let me know how the Telefunkens workout please!!! | |
| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II For starters I have some NOS Sylvania 6SN7 GTB (tall) green labels coming soon. These were very reasonably priced and suppossed to be very musical. I might try some TungSol tall which are recommended also. | |
| amp to power paradigm studio 100s From what I remember to get really good bass from the 100's you need a fairly high wattage amp to control the woofers. I would say a good 100 wpc would do the trick. | |
| marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications Just out of curiosity, How much better is the Marantz S2 than the S1? | |
| Solid state preamp warm up time? I used to leave my preamp on 24/7 unless it was tubed. My amp I left it on for the weekend if I knew I would be listening. I will say I think an amp or preamp needs 24 hrs to warm up and sound its best. | |
| Salk HT1-TL,Tyler D3, KEF XQ40,Spendor A6,MA GS20 I like my D4's at relatively lower volumes. | |
| Power cables and power conditioners RSA has been the best I have tried so far. | |
