You should get an old turntable and some scratchy LP's to go with that tube amp. Just kidding. Tubes made a huge rennassaince about ten years ago, and even in the recording industry (tube mic pre amps). I seriously considered buying a tube system for my house about a year ago just becuase I think the technology is esoteric, and they look cool. Some say the sound is warmer, richer. These are subjective terms, and in reality, distortion of signal is greater than the digital electronics and technology of today. Maybe that's why vinyl made a comeback, maybe that percieved innacuracy of the playback signal and inherent noise provided a pleasing sound. If you are going to go tubes, you will need efficient speakers, but one thing is for sure, they sure look cool. Dynaco makes used to make a model called the Dynakit 70, lots of those on Ebay from time to time. The older Macintosh stuff is rare and expensive, but it looks impressive
