| Question on tube rolling king,In general I think you can get an idea of the basic characteristcs of a broken in tube with a few minutes warm up though it wont be at its best. Short a/bs many times will draw you to a more initially impressive piece but many times that gear... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Rod,I still have my Luxman 450 ( and matching tuner) from my high school days. That piece spoiled my ears for anything the local federated group, etc was selling. I still have it in my garage and it is always musical and sweet sounding. And yes th... | |
| JM Reynaud Trente to GMA Callisto or Merlin TSMMe? Yo2,One lesson I have learned, if you are happy with your current speakers dont sell them until you have another pair in your house you prefer. I had a guy trade me his JMR Offrandes for my Merlin VSM Milleniums I thought the Offrandes destroyed t... | |

| Review: Manley Laboratories Neo-Classic 300B preamp Tube preamp I have the good fortune to own a pair of Custom Manley Monoblocks(over 200 watts in triode) and have dealt with the fine people at the Chino facility and can report similar attention and support. Manley Rules! | |

| What tube amp for starting out? i have not personally owned any dynaco gear but a new preamp might serve you better - el34 amps should have beautiful midrange. | |
| Recommend LCD / plasma TV ? elizabeth makes a great point - I bought a pioneer elite partly because it had the best non high def picture - some of the others were really horrible. Also I mostly watch sports and when it gets busy the elite had less of the distortion. If you a... | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers RW,jump the + to the + & - to the - not "between the + and the-" | |
| Is my ceiling too low? I had a room with low ceilings with reynaud offrandes, one of the best sounds I have experienced. As I remember the tweeter is below the driver on that model which may have something to do with the results. | |
| XM or Sirius Mikes experience mirrors mine, I chose Sirius for content and I do like the lifetime membership. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE amplification jumpstart-cables,sub Charlie,I assume buy your choice of speaker and amplifier you appreciate musicality. Your speakers will preform better with more power but kt-88 will not give you the same beauty in the midrange. the sub is not the answer. A better solution might ... | |
| Amperex 6922 overkill? Gary,I have the 2.1x balanced dac and I used mullards which I love. any tubes you put in the dac will give you more than a $400 improvement over the sound of the sovtechs. |
