| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? The bottom line is “ You won’t know until you try it “. However , I went down this Rabbit Hole with a 30wpc integrated and speakers that needed 40 watts , but were more at home with 200. In my scenario it sounded fairly nice , but couldn’t play lo... | |

| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Greetings , I too have Zu Omens, and would recommend Schiit products . I have a Bifrost, Yiggy , and the Loki . I chose the Rogue RP-1 for a pre . But by the time you get a power cord and NOS 12AU’7’s , it’s too expensive . I rotate a Dennis Ha... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? Cool thread , the Old Japanese amps rock . I have receivers, as I enjoy the aesthetics more . I have a Sansui 9090, Sansui 7070, Marantz 2223B. The lower powered Marantz pairs very well with my Zu Omens and Klipsch KG 1.5’s . The Sansui 7070 is pa... | |
| Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier Hi , I have played with the lower level Rogue RP-1. I’ve changed the cord and added isolation dampeners, and placed 2 brass weights on top . I have rolled numerous tubes and prefer medical grade Telefunkens. But depending on which power amp I’m fe... | |

I have for rotation RCA, Mullard , Seimens CCa , Seimens silverplate, Amperex , Phillips , Telefunken ( smooth , rib... | |
| Worth of current system Just picked up a multi speaker w/sub Bose System . Set me back $74K. But it came in a GMC Duramax Denali 😝. I’m not a Bose fan either ! But my modest home system , about $14K . If I add up both cars , my Harley and my system , I still don’t have... | |
| KT88 tube amp Will your amp support KT-120’s ? I prefer them over the tubes listed above when I’m seeking bass from less efficient speakers . On the NOS side I have GEC Gold Lion KT-88’s and 3 hole Tung Sol 6550’s . The NOS Genelax are sweet , but definitely o... | |

Oppo 105, Musical Fidelity’s transport, and Windows based laptop ( wireless ) running Tidal with partial MQA unfolding . All three feed my Schiit Yiggy DAC . They are all very close in SQ . However , I ... | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer Having tried numerous methods on various speakers, I’ve found mostly the same results mention above . My .02 regarding the “ Blue Pads “ is with my JBL 4412A’s as used on Sound Anchor stands . I found them to be helpful with bass , clarity and ima... | |

| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** Nice amp , and yes modern tubes are good . However , I dare you to roll in 4 NOS Telefunken signal tubes and say it isn’t an improvement. But everyone knows it’s subjective . I must be stupid as I have more invested in tubes , than my amp . But i... |
