| tube upgrade for first sound Id be lying if I said I could always hear the difference, but on some, the bass is off. On other recordings, i cant tell. Mostly i bring it to your attention because emmanuel really really feels strongly about it.... | |

| tube upgrade for first sound ok - so two more simple tweak considerations for First Sound owners. Maybe this has been covered already, but it bears repeating, i think...1) Aurios isolation/decoupling bearings - clean up and solidify the sound very nicely. Emmanuel recommended... | |
| Need speaker wire for my Dynaudio Contour 4's I have had Cardas GC, Cardas GR, various Transparent, Nordost Valhalla, Audinece AU24, various synergistic references and analysis plus in the past.
