| Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state Different take but you should investigate the Space Tech Labs STR. (super tube rectifier). I’ve heard it and it’s the real deal. The HIFI cave and the Decware forum talk about it with both giving very positive results. | |

| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC According to ASR you can't tell the difference in DACs and the $80 SMSL is better than many higher priced DACs. I'll admit it's a good sounding DAC for only $80 but the real deal is PSAudio is selling refurbished DirectStream DACs for $1600 | |

| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Tube amps have a huge variation in presentation. I would recommend listening to as many as you can before jump into it. I've listened to several types and it's more than just Class A , Push Pull, SET and how much power they provide. Each tube ha... | |
| Vibration dampening I use springs under mine ( a hint from millercarbon) I also pull them out from the wall about a foot. I feel the bass is tighter and less boomy. A set of isolation springs was less than $30 | |

| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @8t-note Have you actually listened to the DirectStream DAC? There are a lot of people who have including myself. I’ve compared it to ASR’s excellent measuring DACs. I was very obvious to me that there is a lot more to sound than numbers. I don’t... | |
| The Good Stuff Abby Lincoln has a "unique" voice which takes some time to warm up to like Cassandra Wilson, Terez Montcalm, Frazey Ford. To me she has a similar vocal sound as Jimmy Scott https://youtu.be/k7VfzwAfNxQ | |

| LAIV Harmony @solarjam @koestner Thanks.... but ah a $3000 dollar preamp to control the volume of a $2700 DAC seems like a misappropriation of resources to me. I too am running my PSAudio Directstream directly into m y amp. I've tried a SS preamp to increa... |
