What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?

Mikirob, very glad to hear that you like the Dynamo so much. As for me, I am using a 1967 Blackburn Mullard GZ34, which I do think this amp likes, but otherwise I am still using the stock tubes. I bought a new house and am preparing for the move to Tennessee, so I have precious little time for listening now. What little time I have is reserved for the Frankensteins. Some retirement! Too many 10-16 hour days.

I will have a dedicated listening room in the new place. At this point, I'm thinking the secondary system using the dynamo will either go in the bedroom as planned or perhaps in the living room.

Brownsfan,
Congratulations on the out of state move and new home. I hope you and your wife enjoy this for many happy years. Hiking the hills and mountains in that state will keep you healthy and fit.
Charles,

Thanks Charles. I'm hoping to hike 3-4 times a week, more initially. In recent years, I've been doing somewhere between 70-90 miles a week on my hiking vacations. I usually drop about 5-7 pounds and feel terrific. There is no doubt this will be the best thing I could do health wise (both mental and physical), provided I can stay out of the way of the bears, timber rattlers, and yellow jackets.

When I'm hiking, I do miss my music in the evenings, along with my wife and dog, of course. When I return to Indiana, I miss the hiking and beautiful scenery in the Smokies terribly. I had thought to buy a little condo down there, but my wife shocked me suggesting we just move lock stock and barrel. After carefully considering the move for 0.5 nanoseconds, I said, well, OK, if you insist.

I concluded that it would be easier to move the family to the Smokys than to move the Smoky Mountains to Indiana, but there are days when that judgement seams questionable. So much so, that my wife and I occasionally questioned the move. However, we finally found THE house, and almost have our home in Indiana on the market, so perhaps we are almost done. I hope we will be fully out of Indiana before the end of the year. For my wife, she gets her dream house and a retirement at the tender young age of 52. I get a 24 year old dream fulfilled.

For all of you mid to late career guys that tire of the daily grind, chin up! Dreams do come true.

Just curious: are the Coincident products made in Canada or China?

Bill,
As a "Brownsfan", you had better watch out for those "bears" they can be dangerous. "Dreams do come true", Bill I agree with that. We have more control over the path and outcome of our lives if initiative is exercised rather than expecting someone to do it for us. You've obviously figured that out and are enjoying your life.
Charles,
