VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers
Agriculturist,Those are Herbies SuperSonic Stabilizers that were used on top of my CD Player but moved them to the Vac after reading a review on the Vac PHI 200. I have not heard any improvements probably because they're too light and thought they...

Still doing my research but Pass and Hegel are a few I'm considering. It's going to be hard moving away from the Vac but more power is needed...

If you're wanting a neutral and very quiet tube, the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS is better than Psvane TII and the reissue Tung-Sol at $30 a pair.http://www.mcshanedesign.net/

Agriculturist,I'll look into some NOS varieties as well. Try some reissue GL or Tung-Sol and you'll be amazed at the level of improvement at a low cost.

ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units
Brownsfan,Sylvanias are much better than stock tubes, better dynamics and a quieter tube. In my system the 9.0 sounds two dimensional in comparison to the 9.9.I'm using a SR Tungsten PC on mine but the AH fuse is amazing... 
ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units
Knghifi,Upgrading to the 9.9 is like removing a bed sheet from your speakers, more clarity, wider/deeper sound stage and more palpable imaging; using Sylvania 13EM7s and Philips 5R4GYS rectifier.Also, replacing the stock fuse with an Audio Horizon...
