| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Tubes are like a girlfriend I once had - alluring as heck but a bit high maintenance. There were times I wanted to walk away but never did. She is now my wife. | |

My Primaluna EVO Power amp has benefited greatly from using Sophia Electric blue "coke bottle" EL34 ST A-matched tubes in the power tube positions. Strangely, Sophia's 12AU7 tubes are not compatible with PL amps - a fact they mention on their sit... | |

| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? Re: Primaluna Monobloc. I have an EVO 400 power amp which I have been running for about 6 months now and am considering adding another to monobloc. (The preamp is also an EVO400.) My question is, did you listen to your system for any length of ti... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium Wilson's just look "all business" to me. To each their own. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I watch a lot of reviews on Youtube and have recently been struck by how many listeners - whether they be high-enders or stubborn mid-fi sympathizers - seem star-struck by recent Wilson offerings. However, what spoils the party is the additional c... | |
| Would a real butcher block be going to far? (Photo Link Below) One shelf of my rack with marble cutting "board." The marble can be underlain with rubber whatevers or engaged in a "coupling" with brass supports as shown - or both if you're feelin' lucky. Sink or Swim This is the rack I... |
