Also, with the larger tubes, it looks like it *might* benefit from having or adding larger caps.
Im talking about those nice gold caps on each side.

oups my engineering hability stop at the replacement caps

There isn't one. Not that I know of.

Many vintage tube receivers from Fisher, Sherwood, McIntosh, Sansui, H.H. Scott & Pioneer...

 

[bretemm]

Thanks, but are there any that are under $thousands? I got the Schiit Valhalla2 for just $350 when if it was from a retailer it would be around $700 from what Schiit explained in some blogs kinda

If you're willing to go with high efficiency speakers, and let's face it with sub $1,000 tube amps you better be, Musical Paradise makes nice tube speaker amps. One of them, the MP-301, even makes a pretty nice headphone amp with the right tubes.

I think Conrad Johnson makes some special and beautiful tube amps....I have the CJ Premier 140 powering the Stat panels of my Martin Logans.

If you're interested in an Asian-made amplifier, ebay is full of them. Have a look. It's just that you were asking for a good tube amplifier. Quality transformers, alone, cost more than some of the amplifiers in the line. As for high-sensitivity speakers, if you want quality sound, be ready to lay out a few more shekels. Virtually anything can make a sound, but it doesn't seem like that's what you're looking for. A very sensitive whizzer cone driver can be had for for less than $20. A good one, hundreds, if not thousands. Really good one, tens of thousands. That's just a driver. Do yourself a favor; buy something good and cry once. Good luck.

What would be some great tubes for the GreatfulDead?
