Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Get a set of the Marconi's and don't look back. A 100% no brainer folks. In the Dude they are magic. They can be had for $45 a set here on the Gon. Better then any other tube by a wide margin in the Dude that I have tried. My Dude and Samson's are... 
Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion.
Wow, some great stuff here. Thanks to all for taking the time to post. I am most interested in those acoustic tiles on the websitewww.mioculture.com/store/pc/vi...Blindjim, do you use these? Has anyone tried these? Goodness they are easy to put up... 
The CD Player Lie?
The same things happens with all gear. Yes even amps, preamps etc. Price alone is no indicator of sound quality. Just as important is how it mates in your room, with your wire and other components. Nothing new here and something all us Aphiles mus... 
Ayre C-5xeMP vs Esoteric X-05
The Ayre is more musical and flows better. If you like lots of detail and a somewhat colder sound, then the Esoteric is for you.I would not listen to advice on these two players from anyone unless they have heard both in the same system. The PS au... 
Why power cable effect overall syste sound?
I GUESS THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED AND WORKED AT THIS IN OUR highly resolving systems must be deaf or part of some huge conspiracy? I am amazed at some here on Agon? I must assume that we do not all have the ability to hear the difference... 
Why power cable effect overall syste sound?
It is a fact not known to some it seems.My ears made the fact as.plain as breathing.Changes are easy to hear.I use cables and cords to fine tune the sound to perfection to my ears.So yes, play and tune your system with cords.Some deliver warmth, t... 
suggestions for pre amp for Quikie v4 monos
TRL Dude tube preamp will be the link to the very best sound your system is capable of. $3800 new and amazing. Read the user reviews here on Agon.Bill 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
I have been using Marconi black base 6sn7 tubes and they are amazing in the Dude. They do mids like no other tube I have heard. The Marconi is balanced from top to bottom and has great tone.I had not heard of them until I saw an ad here on the Gon... 
what do you use to remove your tubes?
Use your hands and fingers. No issues at all. Just wait until they are cool :-) 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
I don't know but will look at them. I am not a tube expert so I will show you a picture!I know they sound amazing with my new TRL IC !Bill 
SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move?
Want to add more to my above points. When switching from one amp to another, just changing an IC can make all the difference in the world.All of a sudden the things one missed in the new amp are now much better etc... Remember, a system is just th... 
SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move?
Bobheinatz amp was not the same to clarify. Mine had TRL's ground breaking new power supply that was just developed. The 225 amps were still very good, but the power supply in the latest Samson amps are a revelation.The other thing is one just can... 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
I am now using some very sweet Marconi 6sn7 tubes and the Dude is singing sweeter then ever.I highly recommend this tube if you crave rich, buttery midrange magic. Make no mistake the details, transparency and balance to from top to bottom are all... 
SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move?
My opinion will differ based on my past experience. Went from Canary CA339 tube monoblock amps - 300B push/pull amps with premium tubes throughout. NOS RCA's purchased from Andy at Vintage Tube Services and Sophia Electric Princess Mech Plate 300B...
