| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps "Entry level"? No such thing. Maybe lower priced, or affordable. One way to approach this, buy the best you can afford plus a little more - meaning save a little extra. Consider buying something you may not want to upgrade latter on, which gets... | |
| VTL Pre tube roll…or suggestions on 12AU7s You`ll probably void the warranty using any tube other than what the manufacture recommends. If you`re not satisfied with the sound you have, it`s either you swipe the tubes or get another preamp. I think it is rare that any mishap will occur usin... | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp Hey, there are some here who cannot appreciate the helpful suggestions given, and should stay out of this thread. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? Amps, Preamps, and Speakers. The most reliable. CD players the least. Spoke with a Hi End repair tech, he told me CD players have the highest failure rates vs Tape Decks and Turntables. | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp Check out what Naim offers. I think it may be the Uniti line. | |
| 3 tone control integrated amp/preamp gkelly +1 A 3-tone control integrated amp/preamp is nonexistent. Can`t do better than a Loki, or an equalizer, anyway. | |
| Upgrading a Rega Saturn-R For the price you pay, the Saturn-R CDP will be hard to beat. You may be better off using it as a transport, with an outboard DAC. Or, if the laser is going out, buy a Transport and one of the great modern DACs available. | |

| Newbie, first time tube rolling. If there is electrical current going through those tubes, they are breaking in. Except, you are not hearing the sound change, as they break in. Play music as they break in. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? For me, it would be the Jolida JD 1501P ( @ $700-$800). Hybrid design, roll tubes to my liking. Great w/ solid state preamp. $4000, $8000? - must not be many amplifiers made. | |
| Acurus A150 If your music sounds bright, I'd team that amp with a tubed preamp. | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST I suggest you go a different route, along with freediver`s suggestion. Replace your preamp with the Rogue RH-5 headphone/preamp. Go the headphone route. The Rogue does this, while maintaining the tube pre part, on your main system. I have found ... | |
| Blue Jean cable problem Call Blue Jean cable. They should help. | |
| Leaving tube amps on. Don Sachs had addressed this subject, some time ago. If I remember correctly, he had suggested that it is good to turn the tube gear off, when not listening. | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? I think, with your budget, you can get a very good DAC, try the Musetec DA-005. |
