| Where to test tubes? Rodman, Thanks I have contacted them. | |
| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? A used Ayon CD5s would include transport, dac and tubed preamp in one box and may fit the bill | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? +1 Nuforce/Nuprime, particularly with Bob Smith's TDDS factory authorized mods. I had their monobloc Reference 9V3Se, then Reference 20 and Now Evolution One. Have heard many other class D and these are best I have heard. Disclosure, my Reference ... | |

| Testing 6H30 tubes Thanks BarrySandy, will track down these leads | |
| Testing 6H30 tubes Thanks for your input. My understanding is that I could hurt the tubes by using the wrong tester settings, so will look for someone with a 6H30 tester | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Pick up a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 JR s used. I have heard them sound terrific in a room your size | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 Look up tuning dots at Marigo Audio - developed by physicist turn window vibration into heat - they will truly tame your windows. Acceptable visually compared to acoustic panels etc. |
