| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? In my experience with my Decware amp, it’s finding the right combination of tubes that is the key. The stock tubes that came with mine were really good.

| Sub $2,000 Integrated Amp Recommendations I have a Rotel in one of my systems and it does everything quite well. I originally bought it as a stop-gap unit before I got a more elaborate model, but I have decided to keep it since it's so good. | |

| How best to arrange cables in this room... Every gas fireplace I have come across is basically a small, steel firebox with a 6"-8" exhaust pipe that gets routed outside the home, surrounded by wood framing and drywall, creating a huge "shell" enclosing a lot of wasted space inside. You ca... | |

| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice @ezstreams that's the hard part to suggest, I think, since there are so many possible combinations of gear, tubes, peoples listening perceptions, etc. For me, I just kept a notebook and marked down how each combination sounded so I could refer ... | |
