| Can you use both RCA and XLR interconnects into the amplifier? I would be careful. My Parasound A23+ has both inputs and a switch but I don't think they're isolated. When I accidentally put the switch in the wrong position, sound still comes through but a different level. Yours may be different. | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Vintage JBLs like 4311, 4312, and many in the L series can be found for $6-800. If they're all original and in good condition,they will fulfill your wishes. | |
| Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better? +1 @baylinor | |
| Going Tubing +1 LTA Microzotl. I bought a used MZ2 and couldn't be happier. I was lucky in getting one of the last ones made, and the circuit board looks more like the MZ3. It's just a beautiful open sound, amplified by a SS amp. It's my first foray into tube ... | |

| The real truth about recordings @soix That's how I feel about sausage. I just want it to taste good. But tasty sounding recordings are something I want to know more about. | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? If you want more modern electronics, look at Rotel. Modestly priced, good quality, and nice features in their integrated amps. | |

| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @curiousjim I also have a sensitivity around those frequencies where trumpets, sax, and certain guitar notes sound annoyingly loud. Less toe in did make a big difference as does room treatment. That frequency is typically around 2-3k and unfortu... |
