| who makes auto biasing tube amps w/200 wpc Thanks for the Audio Valve note, Bill. Nice amps, but a Wee bit out of the budget. I would actually prefer a Hybrid amp that allows tube rolling in the 200wpc or better area. | |

| HT without a dedicated preamp or processor? Perhaps with 30+ ft. of speaker cable, 2M worth of RCA ICs, and over 20 ft of HDMI... things don't balance out exactly right in my outfit... lip sync wise.Or maybe it's 'cause the video wires run up hill, and the audio wires run down hill.Maybe it... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-9se yes... you must!It's the law!Super great and expensive speakers, figuring all of those adjectives are applicable, indicate some inference to the fact one will have 'on par' or similarly performing electronics.One of the biggest myths in Audioland ... | |

| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Plus upgraded Amplifier I like the Butler amps over those I've heard from Odyssey... but I've not heard the Extremes, or extreme monos Klaus makes. As I've said here and elsewhere in my follow ups, the Butler TDB 5150, is IMHO, a step up from the Odyssey Plus. It's also ... | |

Butler TDB 5150 5 ch hybrid amp… and a pr of Dodd MK II EL 34 mono block 120wpc amps… and a couple recievers.I’ve written reviews on about all I own and posted the... | |

| rca vs xlr interconnect First post says it all.If truly balanced.... go balanced connections. If not... save some dough and go RCA.I used a fully balanced amp both ways... XLR and SE, my difficulty in clearly backing one over the other was this... one preamp was markedly... | |
