| best chinese tube amp under $1k? I've been very happy with my Melody SP3. They were sold by the now-defunct AV123 company under the Onix brand name. They're about $500 used these days. | |
| How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch Ozzy, if you've gone that far, you've _got_ to try the Soundcheck firmware mods. Disable the analog outs, ethernet-hardwire to disable off wireless if you can. In any case, be sure to set flac decoding to happen on the server and not at the touch.... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 It's not possible to generalize one as better than the other. They are interchangeable, though the 5751 has a gain rating that's less than the 12AX7. I run 5751s in my 12AX7 slot and can hardly discern less volume. Because the 12AX7 is so common, ... | |

| DAC with volume control under $250 Check out Grant Fidelity's DAC-09 or DAC-11. | |
| DAC as preamp w/subwoofer Sruffle,I run my W4S DAC-2 in the way that you wish to. I send the unbalanced outs to my tube integrated amp, and use a Cardas balanced > unbalanced adaptor from each of the DAC-2's balanced outs into left and right subs. It works like a charm.... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? It's not the highest of high-end sonics, but for looks alone I'll put my Melody SP3 up against anything. | |
| Squeezebox Touch.....which mods first? There aren't a lot of folks reporting vast improvement from power supplies, but the Soundcheck 2.0 firmware mods to disable analog output and turn off wifi made a great difference for me in terms of background blackness and microdynamics. His 3.0 ... |
