That's what happens when you spend time adding commentary. I'll never make it as a no value-add news feed aggregator

Electrostatic headphones ala K1000 style?

One can not generalize a tube's performance outside of its topology. Wikipedia is wrong.

I was thinking primarily of the transistors in the low-voltage input stage. Or using this in a dynamic/low voltage amplifier.

I feel like I'm going to make a foll of myself for not seeing blatant sarcasm... But you can socket transistors. A few trimpots or socketed resistors (or a transistor and its matching resistor on a little daughter-board so you only have to plug in one thing and never have to bend leads and could maybe even replace a single transistor with an op amp if you wanted) and the KGNCA (KG necessarily complicated amp) would be infinitely transistor roll-able.

lets not forget the cavalli .000000001 % thd at 20hz to 20khz at any level including clipping

I'm pretty partial to ASC Tube Traps. They made a huge improvement in my own room, and it doesn't remotely sound dead. After talking with them (the people at ASC, not the Tube Traps) the speaker placement was just as important as the traps themselves. Do the math and get your speakers 29% (I believe) from the wall behind them. tubetrap.com is more of a fansite, but has good setup diagrams and such. Acoustic Sciences is the product home. I'm still not done with what was "prescribed" for my room. I should probably take the dollars I have for a turntable purchase and get another set of traps instead.

No, he was extrapolating your tube-rolling problem to amp-rolling.

The original boards are badass and could cave in a skull. :dusty:

My freind I sell you good price.
