Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
@last_lemming did you ever figure out what was causing the woofer pumping? I'm having a similar issue that is not responding to the usual solutions.   
Zu introduces Soul 6
I enjoyed my Soul Supremes except for the poor integration of the full range driver and the super tweeter. I'm curious if this coaxial design solves that issue. 
Need audiophile friendly, audio experienced electrician in Chicago area
Thanks for the reference grambo, I'll check it out.The "one line not three" post was directed at me. I mention three lines in my original post. Which way is the best way? I don't know. That's why I'm looking for an electrician with experience doin... 
Anyone notice this with PrimaLuna EVO 400 remote??
I had an EVO 300 preamp with the very same issue. It's one of the reasons I sold it.  
Phono cable suggestions...?
Whatever you get be sure you know the cable capacitance, which will affect the frequency response of your moving magnet Ortofon 2M Black. Some phono cables have capacitance that is too high to work well with moving magnet carts. Capacitance doesn'... 
Budget tower speakers that rock!
For loud rock, I prefer a speaker with a dedicated woofer. Better slam, and mid/highs don't have to share a driver with the bass. I had Zu Soul Supremes and didn't love them with loud rock. They broke up and sounded congested when pushed with loud... 
Pass Labs: INT-60 vs X150.8 + XP-12 Separates
I haven't heard all of these units. I have an XP-12 that I use with a Pass Labs XA-25 and a First Watt J2. The XP-12 is a great pre amp, but if I had to choose between your two options, I'd choose the INT-60, since it runs deeper in Class A than t... 
PS Audio Power Plant 15........
I recently added a PS Audio Stellar Power Plant 3, and I'm astonished with the improvement in sound. Much bigger soundstage, better dynamics and separation, a just-right smoothness and ease to the music. Note decays ring on and on. I knew that the... 
Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III
An update...I've had the Forte IIIs for about three weeks now, driving them with a Pass Labs XP-12 preamp and XA-25 power amp. So far, I love some things about them, but don't love the presentation as a whole. With this set up, the Fortes are very... 
MusicDirect
I work for the Illinois Department of Revenue. While sales tax sourcing is complicated, if the sale by an Illinois seller is to an Illinois buyer, the tax rate of the inventory location in Illinois is applied. Illinois has ORIGIN sourcing, not DES... 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
Terrible news. I joined Audiogon only a few months ago. I've spent a good part of this pandemic reading old threads, looking to expand my audio knowledge. I learned quickly to look for Al's posts. His were always the most informative and helpful t... 
Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III
Thanks, I ordered a pair of the Brimars to try. I've enjoyed it with the stock tubes. Will probably get the Forte IIIs in the next couple of weeks.

Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III
Thank you all for your comments and tips. I like seeing the adjective "fun" in several of them. That's what I'm looking for. My current "fun" speakers are a nice vintage pair of JBL L112s, but as I have been experimenting with some different gear ...
