| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first @xcool ..." I've been thinking about tube preamp for some time, I might give it a try one day." There is a chance you may decide to change interconnects again if you go with a tube preamp -or- if/when you upgrade tubes later on. | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first [@xcool] Hey @ghdprentice I remember running the cables 24 hrs straight for 4 or 5 days from my source to my preamp. The preamp was off when I wasn’t listening. I did like a few things about the cable between my source and preamp. Very spacio... | |

| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @milpai Perfect!

| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @milpai... "The midrange is more there".. Two questions. Can you share more - Is the midrange less laid back and more forward now with the Art Series? How many burn-in hours do you have on them so far? | |
| OCC cables anyone? Last night I swapped back to my OCC version of exact same interconnect cables, with the same design, length, same connectors as my OFC pair, made by the same Co. It becomes more of a comparison of the different metal used. Its still a surprise ... | |

| Any opinions on Black Ice F11 integrated amp? +1 on F22 After helping a few folks with Jolida integrated amps, upgrades, then recommended the Black Ice Audio F22 to a buddy to use with his Klipsch RP-600M speakers.
