Any regrets in selling gear?
Quad 57's restored by Wayne Piquet. Limited in some ways, but awesome.  
NOS Amperex 211 vacuum tube
Jond: I think that you are right, but I also have a quad set of NOS GE, a pair of NOS RCA, Elrog 211 & 242, and a couple others. But I'm inclined to hoard what I have and let someone have a nice surprise someday when I am finally gone. The Amp... 
NOS Amperex 211 vacuum tube
All have brass base, but not sure if they are the "D" version, I'll check.    
Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new)
Agree on the DCS Debussy, totally overlooked, wonderful DAC. Mine has been flawless, wonderful sound.  Stream with Lumin, Amp and pre amp are Air Tight, Horning and Zingali speakers, not looking for more  
Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers
I live just north of Portland OR on Sauvie Island. I'm not sure what Audiogon allows on the forums. I'll try and send my email, and you can contact me for the contact info. I have zero financial interest in sharing this. We'll see if it works. pe... 
Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers
I just sold a pair of older Zingali HM 112’s. For cheap. It was a tough sell as they are unknown in the US, and they are really heavy, so even though I had the boxes, shipping was a problem. Anyway, they were 97dB and fantastic speakers. I liked ... 
"Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"????
Everyone is different, and has a different investment into the audio hobby. I have a McIntosh 275 50th anniversary amp un opened in box that I took in lue of cash that a audio dealer owed me. Never used. Never looked at. Another hardly used Air Ti...

Whammerdyne “The Truth” or their other amps .....
Just to be complete, I upgraded the 6922 tube to Siemens Halske CCA. All these tube upgrades made some difference, but overall, the amo is so great, that the tube upgrades were just incremental, at best.     
Whammerdyne “The Truth” or their other amps .....
Loving the Whammer! Currently running some NOS Sylvania "spring top" tubes, gives it a little more bass than the stock JJ. I also tried some NOS RCA single plates, which were awesome, but I wanted to save them (not sure why) and feel that the Syl... 
Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions
Running Horning Eufrodite (98db) with a 4.1 watt 2A3 Whammerdyne amp. Awesome. With your Mac amp, I would think that you could run about anything.  
Whammerdyne “The Truth” or their other amps .....
A lot of people are put off by the low power output of his (the whammer) amps. I was too. My downstairs living room system is a rather standard McIntosh/B & W system running at 600 watts/channel. So I was skeptical of his low output amps. No l... 
Air Tight ATC-5 preamp
I have owned both the ATC1, ATC 5, ATE 2001 pre amps. As well as the ATM 2 (Kt 88), ATM 211 mono blocks, and ATM 300b anniversary amps. I love their stuff. The ATM 2 is a brute of a tube amp, I recently sold it, and the ATC 1 pre amp, just because... 
Whammerdyne “The Truth” or their other amps .....
Just bought the last "Truth" amp by Whammerdyne. It was second hand and sold by someone who was moving on to some expensive Kondo integrated amp. Good luck to him, I think that he blew it. The Whammer is awesome, and now not obtainable. I have had... 
Tube Preamp - What to buy?
There is a super nice (used) Air Tight ATC-1 for sale on line. It has a MM phono stage. It is just fantastically built and sounds wonderful. I should know, I used to own it. I think they want 3500.00
