Berning ZH270 Input Tubes
I have found that using pinch waist Apmperex E180CC in the 1st position, Telefunken ECC803s in the 2nd, and Telefunken 12AV7 in 3rd, sounds best in my system. I have the 5 star's, but felt them too thin, with the berning. I liked them with Exempla...

Best Speaker For 14' Separation & Placed Near Wall

Klipschorn: Still relevant??
Guy's, audiophools, Klipsch are fine speakers, especially when tweaked. Paul Klipsch was a world class genious who specialized in making CHEAP components sound GREAT. This is especially true with the heritage line. I love what Klipsch does for the...

CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range
Dan,You are right, John Tucker and Exemplar are no slouch, in fact he does Fabulous mods. And for 1700, the 2900 is an absolute bargain. I have been thru so many digital sources over the past 2 years, I have personnaly decided what I want most....... 
CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range
APL 3910 for a stretch, or a Modwright DVP 9000ES with the BON MOD. Yes, I own both, and have owned over 35 sources in the past 2 years. These are my personnal favorite. 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome
I am using the Modwright as well, and must admit, Dan has done a SUPURB job on this Pre. To me, it has a wonderful midrange bloom, w/o suffering from extensionitis, in other words, no roll off of high frequncy, or Bass. I have owned pre-amps that ... 
A. A. Capitole owners - what's the next step??
I owned the AA Capitole II, and many many other much more expensive machines. I use the APL 3910 for me, in my system, it is the BEST. BTW, It costs less than the Capitole, heh heh heh 
300b vs 845
I like them both, and this is the reason I have the Cary M211 Anniversary, it takes 2 845's 2 300B's, 1 6CA7, and 1 ECC35. Truely an amazing amp, Dennis has a winner with this one, IMHO.
