Great suggestions so far - consider a dehavilland Ultra verve - and save some money. Changed my system completely and made me realize how important the line stage is in the chain.
This one im looking to get is for the bedroom. Its going to be paird with Bob 180 monos and Philharmornic 3 Speakers but at the moment im using Danley Horns which i find to be excellent for a pro speaker :-)
Out of curiosity, have you heard the TRL Dude? I believe that is 6SN7 based as well. I only heard it once in an incompatible system and was underwhelmed, but some ears I trust tell me mostly good things.
