You may have to stretch some but I've heard it and well... if I had the scratch and ... | |

| The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ?? Threshold FET-10 preamplifier bought used from a local dealer (so in theory it was broken in). Hooked it up in my system and ... ouch! It was obvious there was no way it was going to improve over time to make it remotely musical, it was horrible r... | |
| DYI system that simply was never heard off Clueless is clued in. Didja sell off all your stock in 2000 and retire, devoting time to your hobby? Wow, I'm impressed with the effort and quality of his post! | |

As case in point was a recent change I made to my system. My original setup was Martin Logan Quest Z's driven by a BATVK-500 amp and Transparent bi... | |
| Lazarus Cascade Basic Preamp - What type of tubes? I had one for a very short time, four tubes mounted horizontally. I'm pretty sure they're 6DJ8's (6922's) | |

| Music Hall CD25 VS. Audio Refinement Complete CDP I interpret your analysis of the two CD players as being primarily a comparison of the digital-to-analogue converters. Interestingly enough I haven't really found a correlation between "higher resolution" DAC's and quality sound, I think it comes ... | |
| DIY Footers Part II Stehno,If I didn't have hardwood floors and a very nice custom oak rack I'd agree with you... For those of us that have this dilemma there needs to be a reasonable solution that satisfies both our need to maximize our system and protect the fine s... | |
| API PowerWedge IV?? Sean,I would not use this with my amp, physically impossible. I'd plug in my tube pre, tube CDP, tuner, phono, phono pre, headphone amp. Right now everything is plugged into ganged-together multiple hospital-grade outlets. I know the best way to f... | |
