I'd like to find a deal on one in pristine shape somewhere, if possible or maybe new next year.

Going up the line just gets you the same, only more. More sweetness,detail, speed, transparency. The ET250S will be more transparent, but more neutral than the MV60. You might also want to think about an LP70S as well.

I'll have to check out the LP70S. I'm sure I'll have a few questions for you.

Hi guys,

I think I'm in the 200 hours of my ET3 and the Classic 60 SE, I enjoy my system every day, so here is a video of my system ( I recorded it with my iPhone, hope the quality of the sound is good )

Wow! That was neat. Sounded very nice through the phone. How often do you check your bias on the Classic Sixty SE?

From time to time, I adjust the bias only twice in the first two weeks.

In most cases you need to re-adjust bias once or twice in the first 100 hours and then it stays stable until the output tube start to degrade around 3000 hours.

For those of you interested in what my system "kinda" sounds like, you can download this recording I made "in room" from the speakers and my two stereo mikes earlier this week. It's in Dropbox. It's an AIFF file, so you'll have to use Itunes or convert to FLAC with Max or XLD or your app of preference.
