| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Sugden A21se 25 watt class A. Even though your not up for tubes which I think will sound better with your speakers look at Rogers 65v-2. It only uses 2 power tubes el34 to kt-88 so heat will be minimum and tube cost is low. I owned Altec 604 long ... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? Just thought I would through this in if you keep the McCormack, it sounded to me very good with 6sn7 preamps.

| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? I had the DNA rev A modded mono blocks 15 or so years ago with some Joseph Audio’s. I don’t know the mods SMC are doing now.

| Primaluna? I’ve got to comment on the gentleman that said the Don Sachs Kootenay was drier and sounds more solid state. Sir you can’t be more farther from the truth. I own a Kootenay and my brother owns a Evo 400. I’m not going to get into a comparison. | |

| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad I let Ken Rads run a couple days they have come back to life from being dormant all these years. Ken Rad is more relaxed compared to the Shuguang. RCA more relaxed than Ken Rad. I may need to put Shuguang back in to see if memory is right but seem... | |

| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad lowrider how far are closest outside diameter on your tube sockets from each other if that makes sense? My power amp has 3 6sn7 tubes up front and I have to use an adapter on the middle one. The OD of sockets is maybe a little less than 5/8 or 5/8... | |
