| Help in minimizing hiss @jsautter Again I don't expect the tubes to quiet things down. I am rolling them for improved sonics.I'm not sure there's much I can do to quiet down the Wavelet which seems to be making the lions share of the hiss. | |

| Site is hacked I'm using Ghostery and Malwarebytes on a Win 10 machine with FF. Seems to work very well for pop-ups. Been running this set-up for a good 2 years or so.Scott | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? Lots of folks trying to be helpful but to get a proper answer we’d need to know a few more things. Even then we’d be taking an educated guess as to what your ears will like and even more so, what the new combo will sound like together.Budget?Are y... | |
