beginner seperate system
wolf, a while ago I watched/listened to a you tube which compared the difference in sounds between the Freya preamp modes.  I know that you tube is not way to test anything, but all three modes, SS, tube, passive sounded remarkedly the same.  Do y...

mrdecibel or anyone else who may have heard both amps.  I noticed that Audio Advisor is blowing out their Parasound A21's due to the new model A21+.  If I purchase the A21, what and where do you believe would be the level of improvement over my ST... 
Anyone tried Benchmark cables?
I've never heard anyone complain that Canare does anything wrong. 
Is this the end of HEA?
Geoff, are you making another "appeal to authority" by referring to all that high end gear to make your point????  Master, you have taught us well, we are ready to snatch the pebble from your hand, and leave the temple.

Rythmik subwoofer
Great information big-greg, that was just what I wanted to know.  Maybe sometime in the future I will opt for a larger subwoofer or two for home theater, but until then I'm good.  Happy new year to come.  George 
Rythmik subwoofer
big_greg or anyone with experience, how would you compare the SVS SB12-NSD to higher end subs? I have a pair of the SB12-NSD and am thinking of upgrading to a more powerful SVS or Rythmik.. For music only, do you think that there will there be a s... 
Best PLace To Buy Chinese Tubes?
I too have been purchasing the matched pairs of the PSVANE 12AX7-T MK II from Grant Fidelity paying a premium, as they are suppose to be more of a guaranty that they have picked the best pairs.  The link above is selling the same tubes for about $...

Thanks, jl352.  Incidentally, I was lucky to not have the preamp/speaker mismatch. I guess the three pairs of speakers I have used the amp with were not so efficient to create any (hiss/volume control)  problems.I did end up purchasing the simple ...
