Bccowen, Lissnr, Pbnaudio,Great comments all. Pbnaudio, great visiting your shop a long, long time ago, I forgot what I bought??? For the OP, I also went for KT66s after discussing with Had and Rutan my tastes in listening at the time. Very please...

Charles,A simple note on the Coincident Dynamo 34SE: as I suspected from the start that this little amp would respond well to upgrades, I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The Dynamo has responded to every tube or wire change in a signific...
