My family is from Buenos Aires.  Beautiful city.  I hope you get to visit often.

Very cool!  I worked outside of Tigre while living in Belgrano.  It is a beautiful city.  Unfortunately because of the cost we haven't gotten to go back yet mainly due to time constraints.  Hopefully next year we'll be able to make a trip out there for a couple weeks.

So, how do you like your amp? I've never heard an amp with that many 300b tubes in it. That is whats in those amps isn't it.

Since I acquired a bunch of JJ tubes from you you must have preferred something else. What did you end up going with?

That turntable is sick, it makes a Classic look like a toy. I keep shaking my head when I look at it.

You do need to break down and get a better camera and a tripod. I'd have a field day taking photos of that system.

I love the sound of the 300B tubes. A typical limitation is their lack of power... However, each amp runs 130 watts class A. The highs are smooth and the bass is great. I am using the Classe on my subs but the vacs do have great bass.

I only had laf a set of tubes (you can run 4 300B tubes in each amp running 75 watts a channel). I wanted to match a set and VAC gave me a killer deal for their factory matched ones (Shuguangs). I like the sound better because they seem to be a little more refined and detailed.

Come to Athens and take some pics. I spend all my cash on stereo, no funds for a good camera! :P

Also some changes:
Sold all the Levinson because their customer service is horrid.
