Just print out the picture and tape it to the faceplate of your existing SS amp.

Sure would be alot cheaper.I wouldn't replace my ss amp with tubes anyway I would just build a whole new system.Got to wait till the kids are out though should only be a few more years.Thats the plan I have for the one bedroom.

On the high end (both in price and output), Rogue Audio also makes some incredible tube gear.
I have some very difficult speakers, and they were handled with ease by the Stereo 90 - I think that was the model.

Some more...
I know nothing of tube amps and will likely remain SS for life, but I did come across this company in my search for HT equip. Apparently they've had good reviews and are more inline with a normal persons budget. They've also got some very odd looking speakers.
Perhaps one of these would be a more affordable way to try tubes.

Also some planned ones coming out soon.

Myself, I'm interested in their mono block if reviews turn out OK.
Cheers, Michael

Pmbuko,Before you know it they are all grown up then you wonder where did all that time go.I'd say in about 25 years or so you could start thinking about taking over the little ones room.My daughter is 20 now and I'm thinking MAYBE in 5 to 10 years I get my own room.

No, no! Tube amps are not baby friendly. They are not pet friendly. Tube amps are really high current affairs and if you lick your fingers before poking around a tube amp you're likely to turn yourself into a smoking raisin.
