Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
I have been voicing my homebrew 91a 300b amp for the past 10 months. I built the initial breadboard with Radio Shack 18 gauge solid core "mystery" wire and the amp sounded just fine. Now that the amp is kinda of finished I am still voicing it. The...

Top resistors
From what I have read it is a good practise to not use just one brand of resistor in your project. The result could start to sound too much like that resistor.A hint that a friend sent me about Alen-Bradley carbon resistors: bake them at 180 degre... 
amplification for devore fidelity nines ?
Although I no longer own the Pathos TT, I really liked it driving the Devore Nines. Plenty of power to drive the woofers. Very deep soundstage. 
Almarro a318B and Audio Note ANe Speakers
Thank you Janj1. I have breadboarded a WE91A 300b amp with Audio Note output transformers. Am enjoying listening to it drive the ANe's. The amp has good pace and a lovely smooth tone. Once I am through tinkering with the sound, will need to deside...

Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe
A generous friend lent me his Audio Note Kit one with upgraded resistors, caps and output transformers (See my system pics). It has no problem driving my hi eff AN-e's. Startling presence and simply a "There" sound. Dynamics are excellent no sense...

Arnosss,I also heard the Kensingtons at ILS being driven by Massetto/GM-70 combo and wow! when listening to jazz it was the most musical HiFI expirence I have had. But when we put on very dynamic classical orchestral material, the sound became sto... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
I should add that when listening to the Nines, they where being driven by a Massetto/Montrachet during one listening session and a Massetto/Cortese in an other listening session and a Pathos TT in yet another session.Jet 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
I heard The 0/96 with Haut Brion and they didnt sound like the Nines to me. The O's seemed to have more body/richness and weight.Jet
