| Audio envy - dang! Not a cable searcher here. But damage to my long Pre-Power IC necessitated a change. Stumbled across the AE threads on here which piqued my interest, in part due to claims of low capacitance being an advantage in long runs, mine being 25'. I'm fl... | |
| Persona - Cables and Interconnects Decided to change out the long run from preamp to power amp as connector broke on one of the interconnects. Audio Envy showed low capacitance so gave them a try last night. They do so many things so much better. Tightened things up, better separa... | |

| Zu audio Zu Def 4 does scale effortlessly. With the right equipment upstream I have the Goldilocks sound I've always wanted. Honestly, the sound is anything but bright but then an all tube system goes a ways toward giving them the right signal. Will say th... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Maybe I should run my WE6SN7s for a while to see if the bottom end comes around. So far the Pavane CV181s bests those for good bass, mid bass. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Goldilocks preamp to me. I have a lot invested in my system. The Chardonnay brought it all together. Rich timbre, meat on the bones, great bass. | |
| Another Bass discussion... IMO, for good bass you have to move enough air. I know, with good floor standers one can certainly hear the low bass notes. If that's it for you, great. I have ZU Def 4s and they have really good bass. But the pair of REL 212s pushed it to great b... | |

| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Turned up the volume on a Phase Linear 400 amp. | |
| Desire to try tubes The Supratek was a great addition to my system, there are many good tube preamps and amps. Check the Supratek threads as well as the Don Sachs preamps. Both use 6SN7 output tubes. The Hereseys are efficient so you don't need lots of power. I have ... | |
| Desire to try tubes Supratek preamp. $2500. Best deal in audio. My previous preamp@$7500 didn’t hold a candle to it. | |
| KT88 tube amp After swapping out a couple of KT88 brands I broke down and ordered Sophia Electric Blue Bottles. Had doubts about the bass having used them in a previous amp they sounded a bit thin there.Each amp takes 6 of these so mucho dinero laid out. The mu... | |

| Neutral Sounding Tube Amps - what gives? I run a Supratek Chardonnay with some upgrades for the pre and like very much the 6SN7 presentation. It’s hard to describe in typical audiophile terms being that it just sounds right to me. More dynamic than any other tube unit I’ve heard but havi... | |
