| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? If you had been using SET, then it is not easy to be happy with SS amp.You may try out Line Magnetic 805 amp if you can find dealer near you.It sounds decent with stock tubes, but after tube rolling it is quite good. | |

| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? @fleschler My golden ratio is 40% on speakers, 20% amplifiers, 20% on front end (digital or analog) and 20% on cables, isolation foot or bed, rack and power management (filter or regenerator). | |
