| Tubes for BAT VK60. Need help Jim- There are a couple of good sellers of 6SN7s right here, who have pretty good knowledge of their typical sounds. Jsautter and Kalidelkol (not sure on teh spelling) come to mind, but there are also a couple of others. Of course Andy at Vintage ... | |

| New to headphones - what amp, source? There are plenty of portable CDPs with RCA outs, including one rat shack unit (forget the model #, should be able to google it) that was supposed to be a real giant killer. If you want something relatively portable, that is what I would get with o... | |
