Thanks for the replies and welcome. Yes Grainger, amazing sound! Also, with your advice, I managed to pop off the fuse caps. I forced it a little more than I like, but they were really stuck in there. They probably hadn't been opened in 5 years. With the purchase of the Paramounts, I did get all of the manuals, paperwork and CDs, so I'm all set there.
My speakers are Altec 756Bs/Jensen RP302s on OBs (see the photo above). They play plently loud with a 1 - 1.5wpc James Burgess 45/46 amp that I havde been using, but it was time to try something different (plus I got a good, local deal on the Paramounts). I also want to see if the extra power makes any difference.
I have already done 45/46, 2A3 (Fi monos), PP2A3 (Brook 12As), but I never owned a 300B amp before, so this is fun. Thanks again.
Gerry
