| Building through the mail??? Two 15" servo subs? wow, you must want all bottom end!You can make decent decisions without audition if you do your research beforehand. if you list your budget, room size, and listening preferences you'll get far more valuable commentary too. | |
| Tubes and light weight bass what power tubes are you using in the Shanglings? I don't own your amps, but have been using EH 6CA7 output tubes with great success. They still have the fantastic midrange of an EL34, but bring some of the KT dynamics and improved bass. On top of... | |
| Microphonic tubes or amplifier glitch? Your tubes are not microphonic, but they might have a poor connection or carbon on the grids. Try cleaning the pins and very gently tap the tube on a firm surface to dislodge any deposits that probably aren't even visible to the naked eye.The oran... | |
| Help pick next speakers: Have Paradigm, Totem Your temptation of Revels is a good one. The M22 are extraordinary in soundstage and detail retrieval and offer very decent bass. The downside is that they are quite placement sensitive and need very good electronics pushing them. The F32 is a tre... | |

| Shunyata Hydra check out Shunyata dot com for a spec sheet on each model. They look identical, save for the number of ac outlets | |
| Novice ears or unrealistic expectations? novice ears or unrealistic expectations?...maybe both.you have to give these changes time to settle in and months of casual and serious listening to make an informed decision. If you continue to buy impulsively, you'll probably make the same mista... | |
| UPS Shipping/Damage Claim policy experience I worked for UPS awhile ago as a claims adjuster. Did you know it is very common practice that a courier says a package must be able to fully withstand a five foot drop on bare ground?

| Upgrade path...Need suggestions great suggestion from Rodman. The PrimaLuna are a perfect tube amp to get you started and should hold resale value quite well. Perhaps you could run a tube amp on the Gallo's top terminals and your existing Bryston on the second voice coil of the ... | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... pro flooring installers use a pneumatic lift for moving heavy furniture, its essentially an air bladder that is filled using a compressor and the load slides across the floor on a cushion of air with nary a scuff. I bet you could rent one for an a... | |
| Preamps with large display needed for bad eyesight SimAudio gear has larger displays, their P3 is excellent and the P5 might be within your budget as well | |
| Suggest Table and cartridge for my system how about the Marantz TT-15? It's essentially a clearaudio table and includes a fantastic MM cartridge for $1600 brand new. If there is a local dealer near you, have them set everything up for you. It's a little out of your stated budget, but it's... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine It appears Yoby might be confusing the UO with an in-wall duplex outlet...but he is right on the money recommending oyaide.the hydra is designed for high current loads, did you have an amplifier connected to it? an appropriate supply cable almost ... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine I'm just not a fan of PS Audio power products. I owned several of their UO and have replaced them with Shunyata Hydras to great effect. Just my opinion though! | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine Given the two cables you mention, i would opt for the Airsine. As a matter of fact, the Airsine is right up there with the Python helix cable. Either choice would be great for you, although I feel the PS Audio ultimate outlet would be a very weak ... |
