Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
It seems if Cdente had an unsatisfactory experience with TRL`s products/service he has every right to voice his opinion as much as those who repeatedly rave about them. Glory, what is it he should get over if he has a legitimate complaint? 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
Latinsamba,You have good taste. I`d love to hear a Tron/Horning system compared to a well setup Shindo/Devore. I don`t think you could go wrong either way. 
Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?
Unsound,Well what can I say? We just have different taste and hear differently. most of the very best natural sounding systems I`ve ever heard were comprised of high quality but low powered amplifiers with very efficient speakers. Utterly natural/...

Meant to write low efficiency. 
Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?
Jylee,Bingo! You are absolutely on the mark.Good riddance to the power sucking,high current demanding and low effiency speaker that led to chasing ever higher power amplilifiers(and increased complexity) in an attempt to drive these beast. 
Zu Omens Vs Dali Vs Vandersteen Vs Sonus Faber
Treated paper drivers when done correctly can sound very natural and dynamic. I don`t own Zu speakers but one hugh advantage they have is high sensitivity and benign load characteristics. You are`nt forced to settle only for high power amps, but h... 
stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness
Great comments from Onhwy61! I agree that you need to know the voltage out put of your digital sources as they can often exceed the 2.0 volt standard. Preamp gain plays major role also. I had rhis same issue a few months ago. My DAC has 3.1 volt o... 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
Latinsamba,By all accounts the U.K. made Tron 7 preamp is wonderful. Any one of these three preamps are cetainly good enough to base a system around,you would`nt go wrong with any of them.

Knghifi,I`d also love to read your thoughts on the VAC pre compared to the Shindo pre,as these are two very fine components. 
Designer Hall of Fame
Israel Blume,His Coincident speakers, power amplifiers, linestage,phonostage and cables are all top tier world class products. This is a remarkable achievement by one person. 
preamp - price vs age
Does`nt seem worth the risk and trouble to save only 200.00 dollars.Buy a later unit. 
Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage?
Rhythmace4218,Did you decide to purchase the Statement linestage? If so has it met your expectations? 
Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline?
Pani, Glad to hear you have found an IC that fits your system. If you`re as please with it as I`m with the liveline, then for sure the quest is finished.Happy and long term listening pani.Best Regards, 
Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes
Hi,Tmsorosk, your transition makes sense to me.As you`ve improved the quality of your system you`re hearing what a recording really has to offer. Jazz is beautiful, played by extremely gifted musicians who can convey astonishing emotion thru their... 
Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR
Thanks Metralla,Very interesting to read this review and then read Srajan Ebaen`s review of the same 300b tube comparision in the June 2010 6 Moons. Different ears ,systems and various amps lead to different conclusions.
