Rrog, Question for you and others. Does the leather on my couch cancel the frequency absorption properties of the mass beneath it? 
Nasty slap echo
Rrog, No, my Ekornes leather audio chair is not an issue. I suppose if the back went clear up to the top of my head it may be an issue. It does not.I also have a leather couch in the room. I suppose I should a/b verses a cloth couch.My room has ma...

Really, leather is a problem? In my well treated room my leather couch and chair have no negative effect. I think leather is a non-issue to be frank. Perhaps metal folding chairs are a bad idea:-) 
a pre-amp around $4000 for my system
Get a TRL Dude and know you won't find a better sounding preamp for up to $20,000. This is a simply fantastic sounding gem that can bring sweet music like you have never heard in a component. Ya, I am a huge fan and owner.

Warm Sounding Speakers
Warm speakers include Silverline Sonata and Bolero, Dali Grand, Vienna Accoustics and while they are expensive - Soundlab speakers.

I owned your speakers for a couple of years as well as the Bolero's. I love Silverline speakers.

I also purchased my tubes from Andy including the same od3 and 6080 tubes you have coming.The first thing you must do is get a power cable from Paul. It will be the biggest improvement you will hear without a doubt. I use nothing but Paul wire. 
BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q?
Lacee, I agree with you. I also have direct 20 amp lines and upgraded receptacles. I only differ from you in that I prefer my amp plugged right into the wall. My Aesthetix Atlas amp prefers this as the reviews have stated. Other powerful amps I ha...

I like RCA tubes from the 40's. The other 6sn7's I like are the black base Marconi's. The Dude is really amazing sounding and takes about 200-300 hours to fully open up and settle into the sweet music it is capable of. Congrats on your Dude purchase! 
Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok?
I suggest "do not go to computer audio yet" and get a CD player :-)Computer Audio does not sound as good as a great CD player based on my recent experience - at least not yet. Also, it has so many twists, turns, changes, updates etc.. that I would...
