| Balanced cables At least for me, Atmasphere, and Almarg have given all the information needed regarding balanced interconnects.I think nrenter summed it up nicely, too.So, would I buy an expensive XLR cable?Probably not.B | |
| Vandersteen 2C pairing @mixn4him Those 1's with a pair of Vandy subs are a killer combo.B | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador,Nice post. I hope it is true.To All,I subscribe to Spotify and despite its' lack of high fidelity streaming, it has one of the most complete and easily accessible catalogs (unlike Tidal).I only mention this as I have discovered a huge ca... | |

| Puzzling preamp problem That's weird. I wouldn't think breaking in would affect balance.I still think you might have a tube on the edge of going bad.But, I hope I am wrong.B | |
