| How should you treat your tubes? Here's some great advice from Kevin Deal @ Upscale Audio (www.upscaleaudio.com):Tube Life, noise, and do I leave the power on - We get asked this question a lot. With a power ampÂ…you would typically not leave it running 24 hrs a day. Power amps pr... | |

| How should you treat your tubes? Tubes are like light bulbs -- turning them on and off shortens their lifespan. If you plan to listen later the same day, leave them on. I might turn off my amp if I was listening at, say, 9am and didn't plan to listen to it again until 9pm. But as... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge I can't testify to how it might sound, but the DL-110 should be an excellent mechanical match for the Pro-ject carbon fiber arm. I say give it a try. I've found that Denon cartridges make excellent parters with lower-priced British turntables. I'm... | |

| Vacation Home System NAD's L53 is an all-in-one receiver/DVD/CD player that performs well with music and movies. It sells for around $600 new but you can find refurbished units for less than $450.http://nadelectronics.com/products/hifi-receivers/L53-DVD/CD-ReceiverAs ... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? PSB pairs well with NAD -- in fact, it's the best sonic match of all the various possibilities you mentioned. However, the C352, good as it is, may not exploit the Platinum Series PSB's full potential, and as a result could make for an unsatisfyin... | |

| nad 3021i, interference noise I wouldn't sink much money into this...especialy since a brand new C320BEE can be had for less than it would cost to repair your 3020.I would just take the cover off, pop off the knobs, gently vacuum the interior and blow it out with a can of comp... | |
| Cable Pairing for my setup I recently reviewed the Rega Brio 3 integrated for Positive Feedback (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/rega_brio.htm) and Rega's U.S. distributor, The Sound Organisation, sent along some Chord Company wire. Excellent stuff...I couldn't pic... | |
| Pioneer DV-46 vs Opps 981 I own the Pioneer Elite DV-45a, and for the most part the DV-46 seems to be the same unit in an updated and re-styled case. It's crisp, bright, forward and lively sounding, as are all Pioneer units to some degree. I haven't heard the Oppo but from... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable For the record, I rely on the Technics alignment jig these days. There's no reason not to use a two-point gauge if you prefer and neither is "wrong" inasmuch as there is no such thing as perfect alignment with any pivoting arm. All you can do is c... | |
| Bose Wave Music system Cambridge SoundWorks makes a whole series of radios now starting at around $120 and going up to around $400. I had their old Model 88 and it was superb for the money. Polk Audio makes the iSonic and, for about the same as a Wave radio, it throws i... | |

| Add an Amp or Integrated to AVR? I've been down that road before and ended up going back to two seperate systems. I'm sure you can find a two channel amp that exceeds the performance of the Denon but there are two probelms with that approach that I've found:(a) The amp may be lim... |
