thinking of getting a VAC CLA-1

I put the new electro-harmonix russian tubes in, got all 4 for around $60 (at cost) from the original owner that I bought it from at wilson audio. The tubes I replaced were some old golden dragon chinese tubes that had been in it for Many years! I have a lot to learn about tubes and the differences of them.
It sounds great, but I guess they have to burn in for awhile, from what I've been told...

The Golden Dragons are what came in the unit when new. They could have been the originals.

Well, got lucky and picked up a primo set of Klipsch KG4's and a set of B&W DM580's in excellent cond, cept for a little imperfection on the grill ( hardly noticeable), and a mint B&W ASW 1000 (1000watts) subwoofer. Not to mention a bag of straightwire interconnects as a toss in. They were the original owners of everything, having most of the receipts and manuals. I'm having a hard time deciding which speakers I like better... I thought the B&W's would win hands down, but the klipsch are sounding really good! I haven't even hooked up the sub yet as it is LARGE! I still have to demo my Advent Heritage Towers through the system. Those speakers really impressed me so much I got another pair and am using them in my home theater setup.
I had a lucky day on craigslist... I'm not even going to say what I paid for them but I payed more for my preamp, which I stole! It pays to watch it a lot!
Listening to some Ry Cooder through the klipsch right now and am very impressed. The bad thing is this is in my office and it's only about maybe 10x10 if that... But I have a bunch of speakers to sell and I want to audition them on my tube stuff because it sounds so much better. So I'll keep them out here till I get them sold. I think everything will go quicker that way.
Back to my new score, I think in a larger room the B&W's may have better imaging and possible sound better, they are both really close in the office!
Father Time signing off... need an attitude adjustment!
