Its been about 4 or 5 years it seems since I sold my Zen mono's and of course it wasn't because they din't sound good. I have been running through all kinds of amps. Music Reference,, Quicksliver, custom built 2a3, and others. Currently I have a Scott 7591 refurbed 208 and a Luxman M-02 s/s on the sidelines and a NAD integrated in the bedroom. What has now taken center stage is a 3 month old Taboo that I picked up on Audiogon... And the person that bought it originally from Steve really should have gotten higher efficiency speakers but then I would not have had the opportunity to buy the best sounding amp I have ever heard to date. ;D Steve has certainly put all his years of experience into making this one incredible amp. Love that over sized power tranny and that internal construction and the parts compliment AND 8-) that white deck with the black case.
Tube compliment at the moment:
BENDIX NOS military "missile tube" 6106 rectifier-- cost non factor.

(someone may correct me if I am mistaken as I could have mixed up my tube lore trivia.)
signal tube .. GE 5751 5 star *****

pair of Siemens no label el84's
Sweet indeed,, damn,, Im not kidding :-*
running now with Klipsch Fortes ii's w/Crites upgraded tweeter and I need to upgrade the crossover with the caps I got from him.
I havnt even hooked the Taboo up to my MG 944's which are in the bedroom calling out for a union with the sweet heart in the front room.

I havnt even played vinyl yet that's how good this amp sounds with only fm. I do have a very optimized tuner situation w/rooftop antenna,,etc. so I am getting a signal that is worthy of this amp. And I am very lucky to be here in the bay area with some of the best fm in the country. And with CD's even better. Whats gonna happen when I play vinyl? ::)
