    How many tube-heads do we have here?

    Just curious, as I find researching tube audio fascinating, and I know at least a few of us have some tube gear.

    Right now I have a ASL MG Head OTL tube headphone amp as the heart of my headphone audio system at work. I love how it sounds, and IMHO any electronics that glow have to be cool (or should I say, warm?)

    CR Developments Romulus Integrated 30 watt here. I haven't changed any tubes out, just running stock.

      I have a Dynaco setup - ST70 (I don't know if you can call it an ST70 anymore I've pretty much updated and modified it) PAS-3 (Mods in process) and FM-3 that I enjoy playing around with.

        Audio Research LS 5MK II, modified at Great Northern Sound. Audio Research phono stage. Audio Research CD 3. These make up the components for the analog side of my system, I tried 2 different tube CD players but prefered the Audio Research which is solid state.

          A past user and abuser, particularly Dynaco MKIII monoblocks and the big 120 watt unit they produced a little while in the late 70's (can't even remember the name).

          Anyone else who knows that Dynaco OEM's a lot of the Sunn tube units, raise their hand. :W

          Not in sometime since, though I really like CJ and Sonic Frontiers Gear.

            Wow, I'd love to be able to see that 120 watt beast. I bet you don't have it anymore.

            I've toyed with getting a Fisher 400 tube receiver on ebay and refurbishing it. Maybe someday when I have money I will (dream on...)

              No tubes at the moment, unless you count the 6L6 pair in my trusty old Music Man 12" combo.
              My last tube amps were a pair of Quicksilver "Mini-Mite" monos...25wpc push-pull EL34's on a pair of Spica TC-60's. Sweet pairing,but had to go as it couldn't do Back In Black. What it did well, though, it did, well...well.

                H.H. Scott LK-48B integrated tube amp, push-pull design, 24 Watts/channel. I built it from a kit around 1963 as a teenager. Lately, I stumbled across www.hhscott.com and was very surprised to read the very complimentary posts about how the H.H. Scott integrated amps are great sounding and hold their own with modern designs, and have one of the best phono stages ever, etc,etc. So, I am excited and inspired to take mine out of the closet and refurbish it.

                    Hank, all you need is a turntable for a glorious, all-tube, all-analog signal path...mainline to the music.

                    Larry...we're like, neighbors or something.

                      For my 2 channel, I use a Rogue Magnum 66 tube preamp with HT bypass unity gain.

                        I previously had tubed preamps (BAT VK-30 and Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE), but now the only tubes are in the Cary 308-T CD player. I really like this little gem!
