| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio - I’m happy you are enjoying the LTA preamp. I really enjoy mine.

| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing @terenthia @audioman58 - I also recommend the LTA Microzotl level 2 preamp. It’s really a marvelous piece of equipment. You get spaciousness and detail wrapped in a subtle tube tone. Since purchasing it, I’ve lost interest in considering other pre... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables? @decooney - Incredibly helpful. Thank you! I'm somewhat new to the audio equipment world. I've often read that one's taste will evolve as one tries different equipment over time. Initially, I'd set out to build a relaxed and somewhat warm soundi... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables? @ghdprentice - Thank you! That makes sense. I suppose part my curiosity on upgrading speaker cables is to possibly bring a bit more drive/energy/incisiveness to my tube-based system. The Gryphon has a compelling sense of drive. I was very intentio... | |

| puritan psm156 @xcr33pshowx - I believe Jaguar Audio out of Seattle might provide trials on the Puritan units. BTW, I highly recommend the Puritan product. Without question it improved the quality of two different systems in my home. | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? @v-fi - Did you see Mitch's recent DAC comparison review? It was quite the well-followed thread as he demoed and wrote about his impressions of each dac. Given that you've got a nice assortment of cables, would be great to hear your impressions on... | |
| Mad Scientist Prime USB Cable @audphile1 - Thanks for your recommendation on the Stealth USB. I'd made a mental note, from an older forum post, that you impressed with the Front Row USB cable. I'll do more research on the Stealth cable. It looks like they are made in the USA, ... | |

| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 For anyone reading this thread in the future, I just reconnected my Gryphon 120 with the Dynaudio Heritage speakers. I alternate systems in my living room so it’s been some time since I paired them together. If you are thinking about purchasing a... | |
