| Very basic subwoofer question Yes, it's possible. I have 4 systems. All but my main system consist of small monitors and one sub. In all of these systems the bass is complementary in the way that you describe, subtle, but adding depth and realism to the music. In my main s... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? The Modwright LS 100 used should fit in your budget if you can find one. I've been super happy with mine. No lack of bass, but I have 4 subwoofers. Having said that, Before I got my Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers I was using Legacy Audio Focus... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? I have only heard the Lumin T2, so I can't say how the Lumin U1 Mini sounds, but it would definitely be on my short list if I were in your shoes. I highly recommend the MHDT Labs Orchid, especially with your preference for analog. I've had a lot... | |

| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? I use Focal Elex with the Simaudio 430 HA and it sounds wonderful. I've only listened to the Utopia briefly, and not with this amp. Definitely take into consideration what type of sound signature you prefer and find something complementary. I'v... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I've been running one of my preamps without the top case on for a few days. I had a tube go bad and am waiting for the replacement, using the stock tubes for now. It's a pain to take off and on due to location. I don't notice any sonic differen... | |

| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music On topic... I have an Auralex subdude in my bedroom and while it seems to help with isolating the bass to that room, don't expect miracles.
