What tube amp for starting out?
Groundhog, like Tvad has said, we need to know what kind of speakers you're driving. Better yet, give us your entire rig and the music you love most. Then we can give you some tips on what may help you out. Realistic, but dead in the mid range? Th... 
Your music system is an instrument.
Man, didn't have a clue what anyone was talking about until I Googled "Sonicare." Marco you're a pisser... :) 
If you haven't tried them, you need to...
XRCD-- as close to analog these tympanics have ever heard in my rig. Have about 40 of these babies. Not a dud in the crowd...wonderful listening...warren 
KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's
I use KR KT88s. I love the sound. I was told by an owner of both the British Gold Lions and the KR KT88, that the sound quality and construction quality are just about equal. I think you'll be very satisfied. Albert's suggestion, also, sounds very... 
Tube Intergrated v separates 4k can they compare
Happy, I am selling my Audion Sterling SE integrated. Will work beautifully with 92db speakers. My ad is on the 'gon so I will not go through the whole nine. It is very detailed. The Sterling was my intro into tubes. This amp has SET sound and may... 
Same manufacturer for pre & amp?
I have moved back to seperates for the first time in 15 years. Both are (given recommendations and reviews of each)the same manufacturer. I agree with everyone here, but went with the same manufacturer because I felt, given I couldn't audition the... 
Tube or not to tube?
Musicrover, timing is everything. Check the classifieds under tube integrated. I am selling my Audion Sterling. It slays the integrateds you have mentioned, plus I am including tubes to die for. Check it out. It's a great deal. peace, warren 
Question about ZU speakers
I have NEVER heard a rave about any Zu speaker at a show. NEVER. Considering the rooms at these shows, it is not surprising. It's a crying shame audiophools cannot hear what I hear in my crib. Isn't that what matters? It's hard to be motivated to ... 
Question about ZU speakers
Bartokfan, equal pros and cons? News to me, especially with the Definition 1.5s. You haven't heard any of the Zus? Shame on you for that gratuitous post.... 
Question about ZU speakers
Miguel, I'm sorry that you are not getting any repsonses. I'm not surprised, however. It is very difficult to find audiophools who have ab'd the exact equipment you are interested in, and with exactly the same components. Zu, being the new kid on ... 
SET Amps and Maggies
If you're really looking for the beauty of SET, maybe you should think of letting go of your Maggies. It would be the brave thing to do to enter the SET world... 
SET Amps and Maggies
Your original question had to do with SET amplification. SET amplification, like the Maggie sound, is very addictive. I get the chills imagining the two together. You can see from the posts that Maggies and SET are just not going to happen; at lea...

question on pwr cords
Thanks Neil, I ordered a two footer from him. Flavor 2 on Chris's recommendation with Gold Furutechs on both ends. Can't beat the price. In my rig the distance that is most important is the distance from the Audio Magic to the source and pre. Ther... 
question on pwr cords
For something that short. You mean if it is one foot longer, that will require spending oodles of dough? I don't understand. Anyway, I'm not into building any cord. Recommendations of an inexpensive 10 gauge, flexible copper twisted?
