Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase?
GTA SEP-1 Preamp. Bought it cuz I liked its looks. The pre was the worst sounding piece of junk I ever bought. They still are. Luckily for many of the uneducated GTA is out of business for the time being.

Densen B-100 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
I feel that having listened to a number of integrateds in your price range the Densen B-100 is a killer. Also the Myryad and Arcam are very good. The Sonus Faber Concertos are very hard to beat and can be had for a lot less than $2000.00. Also the...

Dynaco ST-70/PAS 3 Rebuild.
Hello Curtis: Regarding the Dyna 70. I have used the AVA kit in 3 70s. Have to say I do not really care for it that much. It is definately a nice kit and I believe well engineered. IMHO it restricts some information that, like it or not, I like to... 
Good quality KT88 power tubes?
Had the Sovteks in a pair of Quicksilvers. Indeed they are not good sounding tubes. Bought a set of Aeros and they are quite an improvement. Reasonable price was a factor also. I am not disappointed in them although I have heard good things about ...
