I will check out Ebay for sure. I did look online at RCA Blackplates and they are about $100 per tube. Uh no way lol.
I may call Kevin or Jarrod at Upscale so I am not chasing my tail. Already have quite a bit invested in tubes but I know I am close. I am using CD's as my source for the most part to find the sound I am looking for.
AC regeneration duties go to a Running Spring Haley which has been a HUGE improvement. Power cords and IC's are a whole other wormhole lol.

Definetly a good idea to speak with them on tube suggestions.
What's "good" is subjective, so at least speaking with PL central will offer more guidance where to go on your sonic quest.
I'm assuming you did the experimenting with the 4/8 ohm taps? I hear the power cord into the Power Plant(most go direct to wall outlet) as the best for sonics. I haven't tried the tweaky fuse thing, Since I have no plan to ever sell the PL, a few component upgrades under the hood as MCGJohn suggests,has my attention. I'd like to hear just how close the PL can come to one of those $15-20k,Class A operation, uber integrated units.
I totally agree speaking to PL Central will help.
I have not experimented with the 4/8 ohm tap as I have heard it wouldn't make much difference. Maybe I should as my speakers are 89db and 8 ohms. As far as your power cord to the RSA Haley, great suggestion but I have done this awhile back and finally got that sorted out. Hell that is a whole other can of worms isn't it lol? I have considered the tweaky fuse thing with my CD player and MCGJohn does bring up another tweak. Geez when does the madness end haha?
