| Attenuator recommendations TbooeYou will find that you are not using any of the gain your two pre-amps have. The main difference between the two will be how much each pre amp attenuates the signal at the volume control.I would suggest buying the endler attenuators and you c... | |

| Low noise tube compliment for an Aesthetix Rhea? I don't think you are going to get away from the tube noise with ANY NOC tubes with the rhea.I have tried the Rhea twice at home with my dyna XV-1 and while it sounds good, I personally could not live the tube noise.If you are looking at another t... | |
