| New split AC System impact on sound. You are not getting a heat pump? New heat pumps are an order of magnitude quieter than they used to be. Also, you can put sound absorption panels either outside or inside. I use a variable speed air handler with variable heat pump... so much of th... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research I have owned one or more Audio Research components for over forty years. Never needing any adjustments or repair. Over time as I better understood what music really sounds like and more able to afford top notch equipment moved to all Audio Researc... | |
| Western Electric 300B Tube Problems Takatsuki 300b are often considered the best sounding and are very reliable. I have not compared extensively, but they are the best I have ever heard and enjoy them daily. | |

| Preamp Sibilance? Glad to hear things are getting better. If you end up really happy with a touch of hardness, then you might be able to get some Cardas interconnects. They are slightly warm and can tame a small amount of hardness. | |
| 1 meter speaker cables Shorter is better is the general rule. I haven’t done that experiment for over 40 years since my system has dictated the length since then. A small (but important) improvement as I remember. However, my most trusted audiophile friend and source ... | |

This is excellent equipment if it suit... | |
| Western Electric 300B Tube Problems Sorry to hear about such a hassle. | |
| Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC? I had a Aurlic streamer that constantly needed rebooting to function. My DACS have not sounded different after power down and up. | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home for Mixed Genre? +1 The generation of Sonus Faber back then were very warm and natural with very subtle treble. Great for classical and jazz as long as you did not want it sparkly. Great speakers, but not overly dynamic (not a criticism). Definitely a big change ... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I use Transparent Ultra Gen 6 on my main system. They are outstanding. Once my system got to a high enough level, this is the only brand I use and have spent literally hundreds of hour comparing and contrasting interconnects and wires. They are ex... | |
| Short in my system? Yes, static. Take off your shoes, walk barefoot. | |
| Shipping speakers from West Coast to East Coast Yes, I would request a refund. That will either get them sent or, hopefully, your money back. |
