Case in points, unfortunatly. Can't see the forest for the trees, but the inmates here have so much experience and articulate broad strokes along with detail.
An Audible Illusions SS amplifier blew me away until I switched to ESl's that demanded tubes. Tried some current tube amplfiers and ended up vintage.
Preamplifiers, cleaned, replaced, bypassed so many controls and circuits with the older stuff gravitated to newer equipment. And points well taken on the components, mainly coupling and electrolytics available today, but also faster diodes. Makes the older equipment really sing.
These are some of my experiences, so I posted to see if I have missed the boat.
