Agree with Mapman, read my comments in thread above. 
Jolida Fx10
I recently sold my Jolida FX10 here on the A'gon. I recommend them highly. I used them in a 14x16 home office with stellar results. Never a problem and to get best results one should use high efficiency speakers (mine were generally Tekton 4.5s an... 
Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
Here is my advice: John Bonn is right on, use Amperex Bugle Boys 12au7, Sylvania 5751 3 mica with the 6n3c-e also known as 6p3s-e, you won't be sorry and never look back. 
Affordable 300b Replacements
I used the JJs with great success. No longer own that unit. Sounded best with Black Treasure 300Bs though. 
EL34 upgrade
Thanks for your recommendations and links. I will investigate further. I don't need all that much power since I have efficient speakers, Tekton Lore and 4.5s as well as Infinity Prelude Compostions, and Sound Dynamics 300 ti (least efficient of th... 
EL34 upgrade
How much for the jwn amps? I read the referenced article, if true, what Osher stated, type of sound I would enjoy methinks. 
EL34 upgrade
Metman,I understand these tubes are beginning to get scarce...so, I wouldn't delay too long. I think I have to buy a few more sets myself since I like them in my Cary and Primaluna better than the EL34s, KT88s. I know I am going to get a Leben ver...

Sabocat59, what amp are you using? These tubes keep getting better and better with time... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Hi Goraman, great example and you described me in my early years, gave me a hearty chuckle. Good thing I learn fast. Best! 
"Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp?
Socrates7,I listened to the Joeseph Audio Pulsar at the recent Axpona Show in Jacksonville, FL and my wife and I really liked them a ton; but I question the price? Otherwise, a no brainier. Better value seems to be the Devore. Good luck in your se... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
I appreciate all that Goraman has written here, but Genjamon also makes valid points. When I make a tube change in the Primaluna Dialogue1, say from the stock Primaluna tubes (EL 34 and driver tubes) to Amperex 12AU7 Bugle Boys and 5751 Sylvania G... 
EL34 upgrade
Hifigeek1,I believe they probably do, but to be certain I would email: jimmcshane@prodigy.net and ask him. Also, Jeff Day (6 moons, Positive Feedback) has written extensively about this tube; he has a nice blog where he compares this tube in his L...

6n3c-e also known as 6p3s-e. Stellar! 
12ax7 vs 5751
The Holland tubes are reputed to sound the best. That has been my experiece with 12au7 Bugle Boys. 
12ax7 vs 5751
Mechans, I have often wondered the same things, hence, never bought from him. I want ongoing communication and if I fast pay desire fast ship...tubes appear to be good, even if top-tier cost. I've scored some real bargains here on the A'Gon.
