| I'm thinking about a low watt tube amplifier? Go Decware. If not, and you like Pass Labs as you say, get and build two Amp Camp amps. One will give you 8 watts in stereo or more, of course, when the two are run as mono. It is amazing Pass sound, in class A power. Last I saw, they were less th... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Those that swear that expensive cables make a difference but have no room treatment are the really blind ones. | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? The audio quality of a you tube video is dependent on how much you spend on a good charge cable for your iPhone. | |
| Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps? Decware offers the finest triode amps available at a reasonable price. The hitch is that you have to be on a long waiting list unless you buy used, which is a great option. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k Look through the catalog of Decware amps. Read the reviews on them as well. Buy one. | |
| Modifying Crossovers There is no perfect loudspeaker. In this instance you gotta decide if you want purity and soundstage or dynamics. | |

| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? The curtains you describe aren’t helping. They are almost useless except for damping some of your highs. Certainly could be helping create the “muddy” sound you describe. You likely have a room full of chaotic sound waves. | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations Look at the Decware Zen Triode Preamp. May have to find one used unless you don’t mind the waiting list. Pure magic. | |

| Shipping 80lb amps. Don’t ship anything in a box or case with a handle on it. With a handle, it’s like a personal challenge to the handlers to see how far they can throw it. I have seen dramatically less damage to items when any handle is eliminated. This even includ... | |
| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice You bought ultra efficient speakers, now take advantage of them by using an SET amp. These multiple output tube amps suck the magic right out of the music with complexity in the circuit. Listen to Decware amps and make the proper decision. | |

| Fedex and Ups Damage thread I’ve had major damage and loss with Fed Ex and UPS. Even in a pelican case. I determined that you should not leave a handle on a shipping case because they use it to swing the case round and round like a hammer throw and see how far they can sling... | |
| Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave I just re foamed some wonderful old EPI 180 speakers for the garage and drive them with a Yamaha R-S202. Tidal Bluetooth to receiver and all is well! I swear those EPI’s sound so good I may move em inside! |
