| Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it The Glow One is a single-end tube amp using one 6BQ5/EL84 per channel at 3.5 watts output. Input/driver tube looks like a 12AT7. I have a similar custom-made amp like it using a 6BG6 pentode for about 7 watts and one 12AT7 driving both output tube... | |
| Is my amp good enough? I would keep using the NAD pre and power amp with the new speakers. They are both high quality circuit designs and transparent to the source. Spending lots more will only buy you audio jewelry - not significantly better sound! Upgrading your speak... | |

| Jolida JD-9 Upgrade If it works leave it alone! Buy a Schiit Mani 2 for $160 - a better phono stage! | |
| What specs to look for in 25' HDMI cable If a HDMI cable works it is fine! No need to worry if another brand is "better" because all HDMI cables pass digital data the same way. | |

| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range @jl35 Thank you! Diminishing returns set in quickly for phono stages! Money would be better spent on a cartridge upgrade! The OP should consider the Hana SL for ~ $700. That and the Mani would keep the cost ~ $1K. | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Here's the best value ever in phono stages: Schiit Mani 2 for $160. No need to spend $1000! | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs I expect it will sound the same as all DAC's - transparent to the source and an inaudible noise floor. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Different strokes for different folks! | |
| Help! Vinyl Pressing Defects? Did the retailers give you the option of returns? If yes, I would do that. If no, then you are stuck with them. | |
| Genesis Advanced Technologies' New Speakers and Statement Phono Cart. at CAF 2023! $8K and $13.5K speakers are far from affordable by the middle class. I see 90% profit in that $18K moving coil cartridge. | |
| Phono Stage, Tonearm, Cartridge Question - Which is the most important? The cartridge, tone arm and phono stage in that order. |
