Tubes for VTL ST-150?
I am using Winged C 6550s in my ST-150. I can't say how the KT-88s would compare. One thing is for sure, this is a sweet amp. You will surely love it.Shakey

Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
Good luck and I think you will be fairly impressed with the Touch on it's own. But it really needs an outboad DAC to shine. I use Media Monkey to sync my iPod, but you really won't even need it to stream to the SB. You will use the Logitech Server...

alternative to maggies?
If you want a speaker that sounds better than the maggies for about the same price as a used pair of 3.6s, buy the GMA Continuum 3s on Agon right now. Green Mountain Audio speakers have that boxless sound that maggies have, with better dynamics an...

Dac suggestions to pair with Squeezebox Touch
Well I found a nice improvement with the CIA PS. Not earth shattering, but money well spent IMHO.Shakey 
Dac suggestions to pair with Squeezebox Touch

Wavelength Proton or Mhdt Havana

>Just believe that the only leverageto help incentivise Major Labels actually do continue to increase costly Music selection in High Rez. Downloads, analternative Format with huge selection (CD) be used as a wedge<Wow, your posts are a chore... 
Ugh, what to do, what to do... DAC
My suggestion is to pick up that used Havana. I am using one with a SB Touch and it sounds great.Shakey 
Yes,another DAC question
