| Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc I agree with you on the DeVore Orang. series. Havent heard his other line enough to comment. Not impressed with Tekton and havent heard the GR stuff. | |
| Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes? Some JJ power tubes had serious problems ranging from premature death to pin size issues. This is heresay. If you buy NOS tubes in the future you need to get them from a seller that tests for noise and microphonics with a guarantee. The only pre... | |
| Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes? Why limit yourself to Chinese? Still a great many old stock preamp tubes available from numerous reliable sellers. | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Not enough money to be made to attempt a campaign of any sort to enlighten the youngsters. Hey squared80, I would agree with you if you were right. Please tell us about your numerous comparisons between cables which prompted this opinion. Scien... | |
| What's my best upgrade options The real question is if squared comments are based on experience or conjecture. My guess is that he has no actual basis for this opinion. | |
| ZOTL40 Reference + Amplifier A major advantage to the Berning designs is that arent nearly as discriminating as OTLs (Bernings are not OTLs) in regards to the speaker load. David Berning is one of the top designers in audio. Has been for some time. I think the Berning would ... | |

They really kind of suck, can damage small signal tubes and can have a very spastic leakage test. Transconductance is a better way to test a tube and much more accurately duplicates the deman... | |
| Fun read... The comment about doing upgrades that dont need to be made pretty much sums up why articles like this are written. Shows a pretty fundamental lack of understanding. | |
| Amplifier recommendation Coda over Bryston if you must choose between these 2 brands. My fist choice might be tubes but I would check the specs on your speakers first. | |
| What's my best upgrade options Get off the Rega wagon. Look to other tables and a better cartridge. | |
| Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc Yeah I have only heard the older Leben gear, but remember thinking it sounded good. Of course the real test is having it your home which I have not. | |
| Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc Rich is precisely the problem I think. Pair them with a rich sounding tube amp and you have an overabundance of rich. The Atma-sphere leaned them out and made them sound more real and less colored. | |
| Is Mark Levinson still considered up there with the best of the best? I am waiting for ASR to measure them so I can decide if I should buy. | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids I would look to your room or components first. I also have heard great things about the Aric Audio preamp, but have yet to hear. You could try old stock tubes in your preamp but this is can be an expensive experiment and usually more of a nudge th... |
