High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi, I run my Franks with Druid V's and an Undertone sub with great results. When you use the sub run them from the speaker outputs and sealed subs are best.Subwoofers not only extend the bass but expands the soundstage.

Rebbi, if the new Omen II have the new FRD it will sound much better then the older Omens. I have their Druid V with an Undertone sub and the sound with my Franks is wonderful! Their customer service is great and I think you have a 60 day return p...

Charles, George at first asked me if I could get the reading. I told him I wasn't really comfortable doing it, so he said he'll do it when he has a chance to come.That is very nice of him because he isn't to close by.Joe

Ok Al, thanks for the tip will do.Best,Joe 
Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades.
I think you should spring for the 3d arm first. I purchased one for my Classic 3 and could not be happier. With the Classic's fixed motor I don't think you really need the SDS.Fremer's review says the speed is very accurate.

George Lenz gave me a call and asked if he can come over and get the voltage reading across the tubes in my Franks. This way we'll know for sure what the true voltages are. The Elrog team wants to know and asked George if he can get them.George is...

Charles, it was just a quick opinion. Once they are fully burned in then comes the critical listening. I might just like them better then the highly regarded Taks and EML's, will see. Hopefully, Elrogs team will come up with a solution.Joe

Well, after waiting so long for my Elrog's. The Post Service lost my first pair. George was kind enough to send me another pair last Saturday (I wish I would have waited). I see I won't be able to use them with my Franks.I hope George (Tubes USA) ... 
speakers for first watt j2
I use Druid V's with very good results. Omega speakers will work well with the J2's also.

Rebbi, I agree with Charles you can do much better then the Pangea. Buy used, Triode Wire Labs cords are very good. Pete (TWL) might have some used ones. He is great to deal with or look on Audiogon.

Rebbi, Your journey in tube rolling has just begun. I have all the top rated 6sn7's. I'm happy the gray glass worked out for you. It is a beautiful sounding tube. There are many others that might sound even better in your set-up. My go to 6sn7 tub...

Chakster, Go for it, the Radian 850 tweeter is a big upgrade. It sounds much better. The tweeter blends in beautiful with the FRD and is as smooth as butter.
