| Sim Audio Monn I-5 vs VTL IT-85 i have a VTL IT85, and it's a great piece. The sound is big, controlled, powerful. I swapped out the preamp tubes with NOS bugle boy 7316, and Telefunken 802s, and it really made this integrated AWESOME. i would wholeheartedly recommend it. i upgr... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century What has been folks experience plugging their Supratek into: a conditioner, direct into the wall, an isolation transformer, etc? | |
| how to make VTL2.5 sound warmer? Try some NOS tubes. I have a VTL IT85 (basically the VTL 2.5 as a pre), and replaced the 12AU7 with Amperex Bugle Boy 7316, and got more of everything: awesome palpable (rich, you can touch it!) midrange. Definitely worth it (I paid $175 for a mat... | |
