Thanks for your response. One thing that conerns meabout tube rolling in the 5i is that there are 8 6922's. With NOS tubes that can get very expensive considering you may not even like the sound of a particular NOS set of tubes that just cost you anywhere from $400-800 for two quads. Is there a current production tube you liked in the 5i? Another concern I have with the 5i is heat. My rack is open on all sides, but only about 10" from shelf to shelf, so it will probably heat up the shelf above it quite a bit.
