@dht4me    +1   I have not had proiblem with LM 508 for more than 4 years.   I agree on the point of upgrading tubes.   One more point is that you had better not leave it on more than 3 hours.   It does not have enough heat sink to get t...

Ultimate Integrated amps

Accuphase E380 upgrade?

Puron AC Power Conditioner really....
@kingbr    It is good to hear your wonderful experience.   I did not have much problem with hiss and noise.   But Puron still improve the sound by making bass tighter and overall soundstage more clear.   Thomas
