| Tube hiss - any idea what's causing it? Purchased a BAT 300X-SE and out-of-the-box it was hissing like a can of spray paint.This was a constant hiss (both channels) and not volume dependant.I didn't pee myself or throw a hissy-fit toward the seller but instead agreed to ship the unit to... | |

| Which Cables for SET Amp Bought an Almarro A318A SET and hooked it up to my HT Pro-9s (non bi-wire) going to Thiel 1.6s.It was "not good".Sounded like the speakers were coated with honey -very thick and slow with little treble.Changed to Nordost Blue Heaven (non bi-wire).... | |

| Buy it now? As long as no one has made a bid, you are free to negotiate and cancel the auction if you want.If bids are made, you should honor the original auction terms.My 2 cents. | |
| Low volume music Listening at low volume is a high priority of mine also.I'm using a BAT 300X-SE with Thiel 1.6 and Harmonic Technology Pro-9/Magic-I.The low noise-floor of this system is remarkable.The BAT maintains musical integrity all the way down to "1" on th... |
