i am pleased to report that the silk mc 100b tube amp is very usher friendly as my 6381's are singing along quite nicely. i have the stock power tubes with tung sol reissue 6sn7's and tung sol reissue 12ax7. i also found that the right power cord makes a big difference. am using the cullen gold series power cord ($129) and the $2600 6sons audio windigo power cord .
