I think it will help if I describe my current system before I start writing about sonic virtues of what I am hearing or what I’ve heard. At least, for those familiar, or had the listening experience with the component, will have an idea of what I am talking about. I will post my personal review of these components later and everybody is encouraged to send their 2 cents comments.

As you can deduce, this system is far from being called a true High End (whatever that term means) but it takes me there. I have two amplifiers because I cannot give up the voice naturalness of an EL34 and the sweet magic presentation of a low power 6L6 amp (too bad there are only a few 6L6 options available out there, I mean the 18 watter 6L6G "a" or "b" types and not the slightly high powered but pathetic "c" and KT66 types). I have the urge to write about my tube rolling experience now but I guess that will remain to be a topic of future post. Also, I have to flip Aimee Mann now so I have to go. Oh yes, excellent record by the way.
