Questions from a Tube Preamp newbie
The JJ's are still running strong after over a year of everyday listening. After new years I think I will try Gold Lions from Cryost or from Upscale Audio with their CJ/Rogue match option. 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
I would love to try Clear day cables...I just wish they looked better. I do like some of the visual qualities of some cables.  
Nuforce STA200
The amp originally retailed for $1200. I believe NuForce was discontinuing the amp (from what I was told). Nuforce manufacturing produced new batches to run out parts inventory at facility. However, the word got out and the amp has new life with m... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
Question from an ignorant person on the engineering side of things.Are there improvements till be made with Class A (or class a/b) amps to get them closer to the appealing aspects of Class D while retaining the Class A characteristics that make th... 
What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
I know you mentioned you didn't want to try equalization, but........if all else fails, maybe trying a Schitt Audio Loki equalizer might help. I have read it is transparent to the source whether it is in or out of the circuit. I think the frequenc... 
Rogue RP5 with Bel Canto Mono Block
I only replaced the Rogue because I went with an all McIntosh set up. I know these are two different levels of components, how does the RP-5 compare to the MAC? I have the RP-5 still with the stock JJ's....I love it...huge difference with the Mull... 
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
I’d be curious about the Low end (bass) of the 275 when mated with very efficient speakers like my Zu Omen defs. My biggest hesitation on trying avtube amp is lack of bottom end. I really like deep bass 
Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
How's the low end (bass) on the PrimaLuna. I have always debated a Tube Amp since I really like deep bass? 
Please...dont flame me (Bose 901-Series I help)
If I recall, the 901's were actually well regarded in the audiophile community back in the day. I believe Bose started to take a beating when they went "lifestyle". I will say, our BOSE wave clock radio (15 years old) sounds great for what it is.  
Anthem 225 vs Yamaha A-S2000
Agree 
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
Geek101: Thanks for the info. I wonder if make custom rca to XLR cables (ZU will make them) is a better option than using the adaptors that Benchmark sells?I have the Star Quads, which I believe that are similar to the BM speaker cables, and have ... 
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
Hopefully, more reviews become more available.  
Pre amp replacement?? Help
I would say look for a preamp without phono. If you get serious about using your TT, there are plenty of good lower cost phono preamps. Again just my opinion based on your budget.  
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
Maybe I missed above, has anyone compared sound quality of using the preferred full balanced cable hook vs RCA to XLR cable or adapter?  My Rogue RP 5 pre only offers RCA main outs. Yes, I could purchase the RP- 7 , but that’s quite a bit more cash 
Dear Audiogon,
All I see are USA Tube Audio ads everywhere
