tube power Amp based 2 Channel rig
Bunky:
I am considering building a second two channel rig that uses a tube power Amplifier.i have considered buying used tube Amps by reputable companies such as BAT,Sonicfrontiers etc....my personal preference seems to be more emphasis on detail and speed and less on the euphonic syrupy sound of some of the older tube Amplifier designs. i am also considering tube friendly loudspeakers like the Silverline Sonata's or Sonatina's or something from Green Mountain Audio perhaps. i am asking for opinions and suggestions on what gear would be appropriate for my tastes from people who have been there and done that.i am also considering using a decent turntable with this second rig and could use guidance with choosing a turntable as well. thanks....WCW III

I'm probably not the "experienced voice" you were looking for. But from what I've heard, the Vaughn Carina is excellent. And there's one for sale on AC: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=36377.0 (I have no association with the seller).

WEEZ:
What Bill Baker does with his 3205 is quite impressive. Smooth and relaxed...yet very transparent. No syrup.

I second this, especially if you are pairing it with speakers like the ones mentioned that can use the extra power a PP provides.
SAS Audio Labs also has very nice 25w PP monoblocks that will drive many speakers for around $2500 IIRC.

Dodd 120 amps (buy used) seem to be exactley what you are looking for.
