| Can one have too many tube components in a system? @wturkey LOL. That's what it seems like. A few years ago I had a Nuforce STA200 class a/b amp with a solid state pre and my Zu speakers. Sounded wonderful. I purchased a new Rogue RP-5 and the hiss was unbearable. I changed tubes, etcc..same thing... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva I agree the Parasound is a higher end amp, however, for that extra bass punch, have you played around the crossover for your sub? Dead cutoff between sub and speakers may not always sound full based on your listening environment. | |
| Detachable Head shell or Not? The Yamamoto HS-4 is a fantastic headshell | |
| PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp? I’m running mine with Gold Lion 12au7s. The stock PSvanes sound wonderful as well. Not too much difference in sound between the two that would really make one take notice. | |
| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 @cal3713 one would think if the Pass Labs amps sound great thru Steve’s Klipsch speakers, probably similar with the ZU’s. Thanks for the suggestion. I will run direct dac and see what I hear different. | |
| PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp? I have one. It replaced a Rogue RP-5. The BHK is more refined sound and nicer build to the Rogue. I purchased mine before PSA went direct and one could get great prices. You may find one of PSA’s former dealers have some stock or a demo unit still... | |
| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 A couple of questions. I currently run the BHK preamp thru a Firtwatt J2. I have been considering going to an integrated amp. I have Zu Omen refs ( 96-101db) 1. would I miss the tubes going to the INT 25/60? 2. how would the pass 25 compare t... | |
| Video of my new NAGAOKA JT-80 MM Cartridge After a couple more days, the JT-80BK sounds even smoother. The manual says change stylus at 150-200 hours. However, people on other boards say that NAG has that in all of their cartridges and is a translation error. My KAB Concorde 40 (with FG st... | |
| Primaluna? Dumb question. Somebody mentioned earlier that the looks of PL components are not attractive. Can I assume one can leave the tube cage/ cover off with no problems? If that’s the case, the amp has pretty much the same general design of most tube am... | |
| China built tube amps Quicksilver audio tube amps are quite affordable | |
| Video of my new NAGAOKA JT-80 MM Cartridge The bass is deep and not bloated. This is the best sounding MM cartridge I’ve ever heard. I’m sure there’s better, I just have not heard one yet | |

| Butcher Block Acoustics - What have they been up to? I just ordered a BBA Turntable isolation base in Black. | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? I would like to find some kind of arm board or pod I could mount a second arm to my 1200gr for 78’s. Eventually, I’m going to get a higher end TT ( maybe a 1200g) and dedicate the GR for 78s | |
