Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design
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

Amp recommendations with a budget of $675 to mate with...
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...

Suggestions for active crossover setup please.
Isn't this what Vandersteen does? I use the M5-HP crossovers with the Vandy subs. The only thing that keeps you from using it with other subs is that the Vandy sub output compensates for the crossover attenuation.Bob

A Different Solution for Cables
How do you piggyback interconnects?Bob 
Computer, software, USB cable or ?
I use a PC and can run Fidelizer. It made a huge difference in sound quality. I don't know about Mac, but there must be another OS optimizer that can do what Fidelizer does.I also upgraded my USB cables to Audioquest Forest and noticed a small but...
