Starts sounding good at ~100hr, but keeps getting better with time. Of my tube amps it is the one I should have kept (typical hindsight). What speakers are you using?

I'm presently using an upgraded version of the Tekton Double Impact. They replaced a pair of modded ("Gunned") 1.6 Magnepan which I still have. I have not hooked up the maggies since I switched to the vintage/nos tubes in the classic-60. I need to do that because the amp is much more robust and transparent sounding which may make the maggies really shine.
If I don't go with something like an LP125sa I do plan to upgrade the classic 60 caps to teflon. Thanks for the suggestion.
