| For all you Vinyl lovers! great video, until the idiot says the horns can put cracks in buildings.the spaciousness of that big stone barn is a treat also. | |
| Burned Out I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, that's got to be disheartening.I also have had excellent results from Brent Jesse.Personally, I would not pay for NOS.I bought some 6sn7's from Brent. Didn't like them as much as the ones I was used to. He first... | |

| Are there any preamps that can work with 2 amps and a sub woofer? 3 sets outputs if you use the tape out, that would be a way for many othershttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Research-Reference-6-Tube-Pre-Amp/324525777594?hash=item4b8f3e62ba:g:... | |

| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again I agree removing cases on many tube units, however:That design has all the tubes mounted in a row out of the back, similar to that McIntosh, except, Luxman wisely put the row of tubes up high, above the in/out cables.
