Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular
Keep these comparisons coming.. interesting to read above subjective opinion on 7581a and GL KT77. Also quite curious why some prefer the JJ KT77 over the GL version. Thinking the JJ KT77 may be similar in some ways to the 7581a. 
Which integrated amp do you suggest?
Onkyo A-9150A budget amp with a good 3D soundstage and decent dac.

Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates
Wanna bump this thread as I auditioned the mk3 with marantz 8006 playing a variety of CDs and B&W 607 speakers(I think)Sound was clear and detailed but v 'digital' bright on top end. What was causing this? As a result I didnt pull trigger on amp. 
Nuforce STA200
Its been out a few yrs. How does the STA200 stack up to newer budget amps, Emotiva monoblocks, Nuprime, TPA3255 based etc? 
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
When the new Seas Excel Graphene drivers are out, maybe we'll have a new champion mid..

Simna Very interested in your views on this combination of amp and model power tube once you have 100 hrs on them. Looking at this LM model or a s/h CJ premier 11A atm
