| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wow! You have a wonderful assortment. I have no experience with the cooker , but they need at least 100 hours in gear. 200 hours is even better. | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps Leave it on for extended life in many instances. My Class D amp runs very cool so heat is not an issue. Small preamp signal tubes last longer on as studies and real life experience show. Turning the tubes on and off often reduces tube life faster ... | |
| Just wondering... Parts can be very expensive if one wants to build state of the art. For example, silver output caps made by Duelund will cost $1000 alone. What about high quality transformers, wire, film power supply caps, silver wire, and on and on. A nice chas... | |

The best tweaks or upgrades you can perform in terms of sound quality however are these few: I know from experience as I have done many, many mods to D... | |
| Tube Power Amp Suggestions Charles is right about an 845 SET amp. That or parallel single ended 300b amps. | |

| Tube Power Amp Suggestions I used a Zero and please know it does mess with the sound and in the end was not a good solution for me. It just introduces its own personality to the resulting sound. I used one with Atmasphere amps. | |
