Preamp Deal of the Century

Greetings all....put back the $600 i all ready spent on tubes....room is 18 x 22...treated with ascoustic  tube traps behind the ML Montis...also a diffuser between the ML...Sit in the Midfield triangle...8ft apart and i isten 8ft back...thought i had the Holy grail of set up...But i made a half inch turn to both Montis to the outside and ..Wow  the Brightness was gone and the system is Killing me....NON stop binge..and to think i wanted to sell the Gen 3 Chardonnay!!....what was i thinking..a big shout out to Rocky 54 for all the Advice(NONE)....goes to show .. if you thought you had your speakers dialed in...as i did...well you might need to spend a little more time as i did...WOW..Thanks to all....

Forgot to mention    the ML Montis And The Dual Vandersten subs sit back 6ft from the front wall

Congrats. It's always satisfying when small changes yield big results. Still, unless Mick dug into his special stock of tubes, there's a lot of room for improvement. And also the fuse and umbilical too. 

 umbilical chord was a special editon and made a nice improvment...never changed the fuse Highsteam..what should i go with?....Dont like to bring this up too often..But as a Drummer who toured with the largest Fusion band (Spyro Gryra) in the US...I think i know Live Music..which is always louder...not centered in the sweet spot and far from being what we expect from are faux High end systems..never less...I truly enjoy to sit on the middle and with a cocktail or to thimk om back on stage...TRUTH!!

years from 88 to 94...was in my early 40's....
