| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers @g_sysak @jcs01 There is so much to go into achieving the best sound out of your system. I have mentioned this before that we have a listening room in northern New Jersey. We have different components and can offer you what each part o... | |
| Traveling to Mentor Ohio - anyone close by?? @secretguy - funny LOL | |

| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 The best by far integrated SS unit I have heard to date is the new Mark Levinson. ML hired a few industry designers to design It and the sound is something quite special. MSRP is $9K if I remember correctly. You can probably find a B unit for u... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I have a Tom Evans that is a fantastic SS phono. I'd be willing to send to you for an audition. Happy Listening. | |
| McCormack dna-1 upgrade or no $2500 for an upgrade? I have to start raising my prices we build a complete Point-to-point wired hybrid power amp from old Counterpoint chassis for $4K. Intersesting. | |
| Squeaking/Paper Crinkling Noise Coming from Lamm LL2.1 yes call Lamm like Joey_v says. Clean the tube socket and tube pins. Can be a capacitor or bad solder joint like mentioned above. | |

| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive I have heard better sources that make things sound better. Gary at Genesis did this with vinyl recordings a few years back. Easy to hear the differences in the materials used to make the vinyl discs. Better yes, earth shattering no. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing IMO if you have to do an A/B comparison blindfolded and struggle to hear any major differences, then keep what you Have. If you don't hear an immediate improvement then cross that item off you list. Happy Listening. | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. @rickdoesaudio I just repaired that same model not worth that price unless completely upgraded. Happy Listening. | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies New Sensor just advised me that they are back on track to get supplies. Happy Listening. | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? All good suggestions - buy a nice condition BEL power amp and send it to me for upgrades and then you will be dome with all of this. Happy Listening. | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… @wb27 @bkeske Gentlemen, I am in New Jersey if you want me to repair your components. PM me - Peter |
