I appreciate the additional and more supportive feedback on this subject. Simply put I have a finite amount of dollars to work with and a budget to stick to. I've got so many other projects that consume money and time and also other things to buy like a new computer printer, computer etc. That leaves only a certain amount of money for the audio these days.
Just got the Miniwatt N3 aka TubeCube7. Swapped out the stock pre amp tube for a Mullard 12ax7 (new new stock) and it sounds great. Better than my old Yamaha A500 which is bi wired into the Castle Conway 3 towers. Using the Mirage OM 10 towers with the TubeCube7 and the sound is better than I had hoped. Will look at upgrading the power tubes in the near future.
