   *THIS* will be the final "Permanent Tube System" that will retain   
   pride-of-place amongst the five active systems I maintain:   
      
   Tuner: Tweaked Dynaco FM3   
   Pre-Amp: Tweaked PAS3X   
   Power Amp: Scott LK150 with a much-improved power-supply   
   Speakers: AR Athena Sub/Sat system   
   CD Player: Sony 5-disc changer.   
   Turntable: Rabco ST7 w/Shure cartridge   
   Cassette: Revox B215   
      
   All legacy stuff, but it sounds quite nice. I expect it will get between 3 and   
   8 hours per week of use, about half that of the Main system.    
      
   This is not to suggest or imply that there will be no more tube stuff floating   
   around - this is only to state that the above configuration is no longer in   
   question as it meets all our present needs, is in excellent condition, is easy   
   to use and sounds    
   excellent. A LOT of stuff went in and out of this system before we settled on   
   this configuration. Robust, yet very well behaved.    
      
   The other two 'permanent' systems are solid-state, and so of limited interest   
   here.
