What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps?
Hello, Robertsong.I'm biased because I own the first preamp I'm going to suggest. Take a gander at the Don Sachs Model 2 6SN7 preamp. Depending on what caps, tubes and connections you select, I think the price will land somewhere between $2500 and... 
Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14?
Hello, amritash. My first tube preamp was an Audio by Van Alstine T-8. I thought it was pretty awesome until I heard Don Sachs's SP14/Model 2 preamp. I know guys who are satisfied with their T-8 preamps. AVA now has a new tube preamp for under $10... 
Climbing the Preamp ladder
Hello, dpm.Until just six weeks ago, I was in your very shoes. I had spent close to a year searching for ’the’ preamp that was going to keep me satisfied for a long time. I wasn’t interested in an incremental upgrade. I wanted a big increase in SQ...

Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers
My thanks to the OP. I have read several posters' thoughts on the Pioneer speakers. I have got to try a pair myself. I'll bet they pair nicely with my sub.As for Dysons....I must have bought the same vacuum cleaner as Donjr (a Miele). The salesman... 
Cables more hype than value?
Hello. I thank you for the welcome.The upgrade bug bit me a few months ago when I noticed a gentleman was offering to sell his Simaudio i3.3 Amplifier here on Agon. He was kind enough to sell it to me. I love it! That amp (even with an ordinary po... 
Cables more hype than value?
I'm almost afraid to post this, but here goes...I just started (okay, restarted) this hobby after a 25 year hiatus. I just upgraded my stock power cable (looks just like a computer power cable) to a Shunyata Venom 3. I can hear a big difference. M... 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
I'm pretty new to Audiogon and fairly new to high end audio, so I don't have a lot of experience here. I have bought a pair of Sennheiser HD650s here and I'm very happy with them. I think I got a good deal and I hope the seller was happy as well. ...
