Yeah baby....I found a mate
My first guess would be that a tube was jossled and damaged in transit. Try swapping the tubes from the good one into the new one and see if the hum goes away. If not, contact David again. Chances are he did the preamp mod himself. He'll know what...

Ironic, as I just purchased a pair of Raytheon 6SN7-GTB to try in the input stage of my monos.Silver twins that sound as lovely as they look, perfect.If memory serves, the Tannoys are bi-wireable. You should consider experimenting with horizontal ... 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Jeffjarvis,You are absolutely right. I myself am guilty of digging the review. I was just so tired of the DK hype by "you know who."A humble apology Mr. Staples and good luck. I'd really like to hear those speakers someday.

DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
I find a few things suspect about the review.1) Can a reviewer truly be objective unless the item being reviewed is incorporated into a system/room that the reviewer is fully intimate with?2) The reviewer repeatedly refers to drug-like effects. Fo... 
Any sonic benefit to sheathing on the AZ cables?
I'd assume that it's cosmetic. I asked Mr. Lee when he was still with Harmonic Technology, probably the same stuff as the AZ's.He is great to deal with. I was so impressed with the entry level Melody Line speaker cables, I called him to discuss up... 
Which Hi-end monitor for near field listening
Mirage MRM-1 Reference Monitors.I ran a pair in a very small room in nearfield and loved them. They were designed to be setup in nearfield and mimic the sound of the big bipolar Mirage designs in a small package. Usable bass well below 50hz. They ... 
Review: Dynavector P75 Preamplifier
Lohanimal, thanks for the review. You have an interesting list of similar products. I am very curious though, out of this list, P75 included, what is your favorite so far? 
Di-Poles and back wall reflections Stats
I thought that dipolars send out-of-phase sound waves backwards that reflect forwards off the rear wall and help to reduce/cancel in-phase standing waves. Am I way off on this? Somebody please educate me. 
Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question
Heh. Enough said... 
Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question
EldartfordYes, dual sets of posts facilitate bi-wiring, as well as biamping. Do a search at Audio Asylum under the amp/preamp section and you'll instantly find 200 examples of an industry standard term. There are 88 examples of it in discussions h... 
Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question
Eldartford"dualamping"? Come on...The term biamping is an industry standard. Any speaker with two sets of binding posts and a truly divided internal passive crossover is "biampable", no? In this situation, far more common than "actively" biamped s... 
what do you think?
I'm with the others. You don't need to spend so much on cabling and powercords. Save your money and buy some sotware to listen to on the new system instead.If you are in an area with bad power, a power conditioner is a money well spent. I wouldn't... 
Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad?
I was thinking the same thing as Rob and Howard. You might have a polarity issue. Easy solution to try out. 
"Giant Killer" The things legends are made of.
I'll second the JVC 1050 cdp. Oddly, I heard the 1050 in a system with a pair of vintage McIntosh tube monos.
