| Vandersteen 2ci with tube amps Find an old Counterpoint SA-100. Sweet sounding, extremely musical, and they can be upgraded to almost reference level for cheap! | |
| Need tube help! Contact Craig Ness at Ness Tone. They sound good and are not very expensive. Tell him Peter from Vu Jade Audio sent you. Happy Listening | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? VAC makes one but adding a chassis, connection cord, etc., becomes expensive, two chassis, shipping boxes, etc. It is not necessary IMO as a manufacturer. Happy Listening. | |
| Favourite Guitarists I have to agree wit everyone here as "favorite guitarists" like someone else above been playing the guitar for 50 plus years. To me Danny Gatton was the top. Al DiMeola, Winters, Duane, Eric Johnson, Roy, Beck, SRV, Howe, Green, Jan Ackerman, g... | |
| Are There Improvements that Can Be Easily and Quickly Made Without Buying More Stuff? IMO the best way to improve your sound is to upgrade the parts in your existing components. Most parts are average at best. Simple replacement of power supply caps from the old blue caps to Nichicon will improve your sound beyond most cables or ... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes @charles1dad - by the way I love your user name! So who’s doing this ? People have rightly posted that speaker impedance and phase angle characteristics are factors that require awareness and consideration. This is true as they greatly influence ... | |
| Need a good reputation repair shop for Mitsubishi DA-P20 preamp. I am in New Jersey if I can be of service. | |

| Which AMP to Keep ? Sell them all and get an HK 16. Have your tech upgrade the caps and a few resistors and you are all set. Happy Listening. | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT We build both a DHT 101D and 6SN7 preamps. The 101D is my favorite but the WE replica tubes are expensive. I have only modified the Supratek 6SN7 preamps so I do not have more information for you on between the two. Happy Listening. | |
| Burson OpAmps - Consensus? We just dropped in a pair of Opamps into a Cary 306 SACD player with excellent results. Not very expensive. I have not compared those to anything but the stock ones in the Cary but it was a significant improvement in sound wuality. | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes I have to disagree with some of the comments above. There are plenty of great tube amps available. Depending on the design is how they will handle bass, dynamic swings, and difficult speakers loads. The Class A tube mono blocks we build have ou... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I was responding to you original post "Because their input board is at the end of its useful life, and when it fails your amp is dead and not repairable by anyone — not even SMcAudio." But I am always available to help anyone who needs repa... | |
| Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack Interesting enough, we use a piece of junk in our listening room with brick walls, we have no complaints from reviewers, or people who come to hear equipment in our Listening Room. Go Figure. |
