Preamp Deal of the Century
I use them in my Sauvignon. They are the most rounded tube I have and tried. I have tried just about all of the top rated tubes, so that is pretty good praise.They are quiet,very linear,big soundstage,great bass,smooth mids,and extended airy highs... 
Praise for Spectron
I second that opinion. John,Toni,and Simon will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy. I upgraded my Musician III SE to MK.2 status with the V-cap upgrade using the new CuFT caps.Need more hours on them, but the sound so far is much fulle...

Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?

Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Bostonbean, they look interesting. Curious, with such a strong magnetic field would it effect the circuitry in some way, over time etc. 
Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound
try the KCI Silkworms+ or Gabriel Gold Raptures. 
What preamp to pair with Spectron
I use a Supratek Sauvignon (upgraded V-caps) with my Spectron with very good results. IMHO the Spectron works best being driven by a tube pre-amp.

Hi Fiddler, try Herbies iso-cups instead of the cones. Should improve things even more. 
marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications
Mitch2 has a good point. I have a SA-7s1 it slightly errs on the warm side of neutral. My friend has the Lector CDP 7T player and it is much warmer and the highs are a little rolled off. I think that would be more to your liking. Try to get an old...
