Check out Angela.com for good stuff to spend all your extra holiday $$ on! Steve at Angela's has a good DIY section w/ schematics and parts lists to make a bunch of reputably good amps, etc.

Happy New Year to you and all my friends (virtual and not)!

I found this site because I could no longer find the Pi Forum. Did a Google for Pi Speakers and then followed the link to the Pi Forum. Then I found this forum. So thanks again, Wayne. Gee, maybe I should burn a hotkey on my keyboard for thanking Wayne.

Also giving credit where credit is due, Doc has always policed his forum well, dropping the nasty threads. And I owe him big time for getting me involved in this hobby and for being such a gentleman. I mention this to explain why it may be difficult to get guys like Paul Joppa to do a lot of posting here when the topic is tube audio, as they have loyalty to Doc and to keeping his forum going. I'd guess the same would apply to Mikey at Magnequest, maybe even Tony Glynn. Has anyone approached Doc to move his forum here?

Anyway, if anyone is interested in administering it, I think there is a huge void for a non-partisan, tube-vinyl-digital-speaker-whatever project e-publication, like an expanded Valve (which Doc just mentioned took too much of Brad's time). Sound Practices, GA, Listener, and all the good stuff mags are pretty much history. I'm sure it's a big job, especially as volunteer, but imagine the ideas that could come out of it!

Glad to be here. I just bookmarked this forum.

I'm possibly going to build a WE91/2A3 amp from a friend's plan (currently in the mulling over stage), and would love to hear your impressions of your Angela 91/300B amp. What prompted the change to the 6SN7, and what changes did you hear as a result?

This new amp will drive a pair of Audio Note LX Signatures - 98dB efficiency, silver voice coils, external xo's consisting mainly of copper foil caps - about 20lbs worth!
