System edited: Finally found a Thor DC-1000 DAC to compliment the rest of my Thor Audio gear. Now to do some tweaking of my interconnects and speaker cables.

I have been very impressed with the Thor gear. The amps drive the Kharma's with ease, even providing very tight and deep bass response. When I switched to tube gear I thought I would gain the famous midrange of tubes but there would be a loss at the upper and lower frequencies. However, that is not the case. The preamp puts up one heck of a soundstage, even though my room has its limitations. If I could afford it, I would add the Thor DAC and Thor Phono Preamplifier. I plan on keeping this gear a long time.

Have you tried any vintage tubes in your TA-3000?

I'm in Evergreen,Co. I bought my speakers through Audiogon before I ever heard them. I based my decision on reviews. Probably not the safest way to buy speakers but I am very happy with them. I don't think I could find a speaker that I would prefer to these in their price range. I later found out that Colorado Sound Design in Elizabeth, CO. sold them.
