LogicprObe Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Where did you say you lived? ^_^ It's tempting to lay them all out on the loungeroom floor for a pic!

Guest JohnA Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Hmmmm. I don't have any toobs, but would like to try Is there anything decent under $1500? well that all depends on what component you would like with tubes pre amp power amp headphone amp phono stage cd spinner earle has a pre amp and an amp under $1500
Phantom Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Cheers for that John. I am reluctant to hijack this thread but I would be looking at an integrated amp, so if people have pics to show that would be great,along with any opinions of course Edit: I have heard very good things about Earle's Weston Acoustics gear but he's booked out for like 18 months or something yeah??
