| Cary SLP98L Tube Rolling Well worth tube rolling, and the "F1" version (direct coupled with oil caps) is definitely the way to go. A true giant slayer at reasonable cost. | |
| Golden Tube Audio SE-40 Very good sounding amp for the money, big hearted...but with a well-deserved rep for unreliability. | |
| hardwood floors, area rugs, and spiked feet Another alternative is Grand Prix Audio Apex footers - have them under my speakers and love them sonically (and they can beasily adjusted for leveling, which is critical). | |

| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Lamm ML2. | |
| Mac C220 vs. Cary Audio SLP 98P Birdmanpa, I have the SLP-98L F1 and the EAR 834P - a lovely match indeed! | |
