Tube DIY Asylum

I think the one comment for tube wrangler etc... is that 4W is OK

We do generally agree, that 45 based tube gear is amazingly good. However the number of speakers which really do the 2Watts justice is small below $5K...So those extra two watts make a difference.

and the EML Mesh 2A3's are so good that they qualify for 45/50/10y, etc territory at the good 4W range.

You can find many good speaker choices for $2.5K or so in the 98db/1w efficiency range which will do those 4watts justice.

In general though I do agree with Tube Wrangler very much... 2-4V ooutput CD/Computer/Phono STage... (and I am working on a DC coupled 2 tube Phono stage which will do 2v-3v output at OK output impedance (3K))
Passive/ Transformer Preamp,,

Yes this will really help overall sound...

the truth is for me Computer/Squeezebox/Outboard DAC/ Passive Transformer Preamp/2-4W Amp/98db Speakers is a very good chain.

Anyway
Have Fun
