| How far over the limit can I go One thing you absolutely need to keep in mind is to replace the 6550 power rectifier tube at 2000 regardless of whether you remove the 8 power tubes. If you don’t and that tube fails (you won’t hear anything in terms of sound because it’s not in ... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component It’s like saying your lungs are more important than your heart or your brain. They all need to work in harmony. | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? What is there to calibrate in a SS amp? | |

| The Absurdity of it All I think we can all agree that dogs have superior hearing. I have 3 dogs and five systems. The dogs have free range in the house. When I put on music they are free to come and go. My observations are that all three dogs come and lay down and... | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Another vote from me for a benchmark. I have a LA4 in one system and a ARC Ref and a Boulder in my other systems. For the $, the benchmark is nearly flawless. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I have an 15 ips TASCAM, a clear audio innovation with an Air Tight pc1 supreme and a lumin streamer (I use TIDAL) all running through the same system (boulder pre amp, pass 250.8 amp and TAD CR-1s). They all have their place in my life. the ep... | |
| Substantial Upgrade Bruin. I’m actually a clear audio guy. Biggest problem is no integrated dust cover. And the after market isn’t cheap, and is something you have to figure out where to put it when you’re using the table. Once again, people need to understand yo... | |
| Substantial Upgrade there are a few simple rules. On is if you have little kids, stay away from tubes. Just say no. On the phono preamp, there are plenty of good choices. People on the site will swear by one brand over another. But my experience is at the sam... | |
| Substantial Upgrade I’ve got a P6 rega for my son (and a pro-ject for my daughter) My tables are $10k and $20k with carts. More often, the higher priced tables need more precise set up and tweaking. Rega is a good, solid table. I like the aesthetics of the high... | |
| Substantial Upgrade Stick with the rega. It’s a forgiving table that gets the job done. Plus you should expect your local dealer to set it up so it’s plug and play to you | |
| Living room system: class A or AB amps? 1200 sq ft!?!? I couldn’t imagine filling a room that size without a mega class A/B amp. Boulder comes to mind. Plus a dedicated power line..... | |

| Curl or Pass I’ve had both. I’d give the edge to the XP-15 (although they’re close enough that sometimes its simply about what is available when you want to buy) |
