| Tube pre, SS amp incompatibility, which amp 2 use? Almarg, your diagnosis was spot-on. Inserting the passive volume control between the pre and the amp fixed the problem. You also saved me from spending money on an amplifier I didn't need, and for that I thank you so much. I'll be sure to let Stev... | |
| Tube pre, SS amp incompatibility, which amp 2 use? I thank everybody for your input. Almarg, I do have a CI Audio VPC-1 that I can insert between the units. I'll give that a try to see what happens. I don't believe the output caps are leaking as suggested by Johnsonwu since the pre-amp was just gi... | |

| Speaker Placement I'll state again that our ears are not designed alike. My ears do not protrude from my head as far as some others, like Alfred E. Neuman, and others, which makes me hear a little less. As far as "practical purposes", yeah, I guess we all use them ... | |
| Speaker Placement All of our ears are not designed alike. That's like saying all speakers are designed alike. | |

| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? This is yet another mind boggling form of which I had never heard of. Fascinating. I have to do a search to learn more about synesthesia ..Thank you for revealing a very private part of yourself. I believe many would not. | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Dynami28, do you experience colors with sounds? I have seen a program on television where a few people who have this condition tried to explain it. Some sounds have very soothing, pleasant colors, where other sounds produce very uncomfortable ones... | |

| Audiophiles and music lovers Just give me a boom-box and I'll still enjoy the music. The ones that love the hobby for the gear and don't really love the music are more techno-junkies than audiophiles. Nothing wrong with that either. Whatever floats your boat. |
