| Tube amps - what 3 things… Hello mpoll1. Not to be a downer - have you considered the cost of replacing tubes? They do wear out in time and die a natural death. One day the amp is working fine and the next day it isn't. A matched pair of output tubes can set you back over $... | |

| Hello and "THANKS IN ADVANCE" Hello 1perpet2. An equalizer is an equilizer. Bose. DBX, whoever. The EQ is asking your amp to put out way more bass than usual for "normal" speakers. Any EQ trying to make the 901's sound good would do the same thing. You don't need a different ... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? Hello 2psyop! This kind of question shows up often. It's a perfectly reasonable question. Do you have some piece of gear with sound level meters? It will be very helpful. You will read somewhere that person A has "stepped up" from a 50 watt amp ... | |

| Do I Need a New DAC? Hello Junge. You do realize that the SACD is a multi channel medium, yes? Five channel anyway (front L & R, rear L & R, and center. Perhaps I missed it, but you don't mention having a multi channel playback system. The "universal" players... | |
| WBT Banana Connectors Hi jtg_ts! Go silver if you can afford it. Some other brand might be cheaper. Test (with a magnet) all the connectors in the speaker path (amp and speaker box connectors and be sure they are not magnetic (contain iron). I just switched out some ... | |

| Need help! First step into high end audio Hello Monkey Kibble! "High End" does not have to mean "epensive." It should mean "high performance." Used receivers are available at very low prices. Look for Integra (Onkyo's premium product) receivers. I have several of them and never paid mor... | |

| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options Hello acar83. There are snap on ferrite blocks that prevent very high frequency signals from getting through cables.

| Power cord length Hello Wrighton! Don't let anybody fool you. It's your home and your property. Measure carefully add an inch or two for safety (just in case you OOOPS), get out your screw drivers and wire cutters and shorten it so it fits better for you. Observe ... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? Let's not make this any more complicated than necessary. If the Onkyo has preamp outputs for the front two channels, feed those to the tube amp and connect the Klipsh speakers directly to the tube amp. Don't connect speakers to the L and R termina... | |
