| Monarchy SE-160 or 250 vs AVA Fet Valve 400 or 600 Sorry as I just saw this. I heard both amps, but not at the same time and quite spread apart in time. Both make great amps... | |
| Monarchy SE-160 or 250 vs AVA Fet Valve 400 or 600 se160 is a great sounding amp that will sound different then the AVA line. Monarchy will have more texture, body and warmth and the AVA will have more drive, dynamics and detail.Depends on what you are looking for.... | |
| Cables more hype than value? They do sound different - period. More money spent does not always equat to improved sound. One just has to listen to several/many and pic what they like the best. This is very personal and subjective. I have learned that spending more money won't... | |
| Mundorf silver /oil /gold vs Duelund CAST I use both and the Duelund CAST caps are simply in a different league. No kidding. | |
| Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp Actually Krell amps have a rather attractive input impedance as the FPB amps are 85k and the new Krell amps are 100-200k. The Dude will play wonderfully with an input impedance as low as 45k based on my and other experiences. | |
| How Important is power conditioning if you have I have two 20 amp direct lines and upgraded outlets. My BPT 3.5 Signature is by far the best improvement and a must for me and my system with direct lines. I use the BPT on my preamp and digital front end only, but the improvement is astounding.

If you're (Schipo) smarter then everyone else on this site, perhaps your rare wisdom is better used elsewhere. | |

| Cayin TA 30 with KT 120 tubes? No it cannot. The filiment draw is to high for the power transformer and it will overheat and damage the transformer. | |
| Power plant and power cords upgrades a real wow? I have two dedicated 20 amp lines into my dedicated room. They made a nice improvement. I also have Porter Port outlets. The single best improvement however came from by BPT balanced power conditioner. This as been my experience with each home and... | |
| Belles Reference 150A or Reference 350A? Yes the 350 would be a far better choice. The only thing better would be two Ref 150 as monos. | |
| How do I smooth out violins? Power conditioning on the front end will indeed make a big improvement in this area. I have tried many and always come back to a BPT balanced power unit. I am continually amazed on how much the BPT improves the music in my room. Great on a digital... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Thanks Al. In the situations I have heard the IC's were 1 meter and low capacitance. Perhaps this has also played a role. | |
| Replacement for KSA-50 Something for you to think about..... An amp with the age of yours and one that runs hot like yours will need the power supply caps replaced. This can be done by any competent repair shop or DIY guy. I have done this on severals amps. Understand i... |
