| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I no longer have Lumin. But the lava lamp stayed. | |

| Your experiences with system synergy Just curious, was the amp plugged into the puritan or direct to wall? | |
| Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one? +1 on Bricasti. The onboard volume control is superb. | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? No bias adjustment on Pass. | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip OP - the power cord to your power conditioner will make a difference. But the power cord for your amplifier will have a bigger impact especially if you’re still using stock cords. | |

| Audio Research amp repair in New Jersey/New York Ben Jacoby in Brooklyn is ARC authorized. Reach out to him. Also, check with SkyFi audio in Glen Rock NJ. They might recommend someone local. Other than that, you can just use the amp as is. That LED has no bearing on sound quality. | |

| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u @garynospamm …Ref 6 SE does have a processor feature but the Ref must be powered on to utilize it. If you use your HT a lot, using Ref in that system would just result you in shortening tube life by running the unit unnecessarily. | |
| Your experiences with system synergy Also what is this mystery amp? | |
| Your experiences with system synergy @bluethinker I would allow 24hrs for the amp to settle if it’s used with over 200hrs on it. If it’s new then give it around 200hrs. Don’t jump to conclusions too soon and don’t do a quick A/B comparison. Get used to it for few days then switch bac... | |
