Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design
Thanks!So, how do you know if the tubes are okay? I haven't seen a tube tester since I went to the supermarket with my parents 60 years ago.Bob 
Maggie 3.6R volume problem
Call Magnaplan and get their advice.In the meantime, why not change the speaker cables from L-R to R-L.If it is the amp or preamp, then you will hear the change and can proceed accordingly.Bob

As this is my first Tube Amp and Preamp, I have no idea who sells these, nor who is a good source. So, where do you guys get these tubes?Bob 
Inherited my dad's stereo - need to sell some of it
You can check prices using Ebay, or better yet Hifi Shark 'sold' listings. You could also email Balanced Tech for more info on your CD player to determine its' status.Though, I hate to say, cat scratches and stripped screws will lower your asking ...

What were they replacing? This thread is getting pretty long. If I recall, they were pretty old.And, where did you buy them? I am using the stock tubes from Atma-of which, I have no complaints, but am always interested in 'upgrades'.Bob 
I will travell to New York, would be glad to meet members
I would suggest you contact Audiogon member audioconnection. He runs a store in NJ not far from NYC and is a great guy and audiophile. He has lots of great equipment for audition.If you think you could make it to Long Island, give me a shout.Bob

The Adcom's are great pieces. I still have my 555. It definitely has served me well. I used it while my DNA-1 was in for upgrading. McCormack would be my next choice. The best part is that it can be upgraded by SMc Audio for higher resolution as w...

I am glad to hear you find the Zero’s benefit your system.I have to say that I am surprised that they would make such a difference, considering that you have very efficient speakers to begin with.Bob

Music Streamer Quality
@falconquest In my opinion, so much of this is evolving before our eyes.By using separate components, you get the best of both worlds- highest fidelity at the time, and the ability to upgrade in the future.I give a +1 for Bluesound.It has great wi... 
Vibration control inside a cabinet
@mcanaday I have some of my equipment on an Ikea Besta cabinet. I use the Herbie's isolation under them and have no problems.Bob

For that amount of money, you could hire the musicians and listen to the music live.B

This is kind of a tough question as it depends upon your cabinet and its' construction.Though it may be considered heresy to some on this forum, I don't worry too much about it. Some of these tweeks can get a bit anal, as well as costly.I mostly u...
