New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
The basic assumption that makes this tweak viable is that there is not adequate electricity/signal reaching the equipment due to a loss from micro arching.  Stated another way, that the designers of our equipment did not ensure that the full amoun... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
Thanks nitewulf, I missed it before.  Does anyone happen to know if one can use a separate preamp with it, i.e., just use the amplifier section of the integrated. 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
I have also been thinking about the Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated amps.  If op doesn't mind, I would like to ask a couple of quick questions.  It appears from their website and manual that only the HP model will safely use the KT150 tubes,...

Artemus, in other threads I have read that the difference in sound from various Mullards rectifiers is not that great.  If someone knows it to be so please chime in.What was a sonic improvement for me was going from Mullard old stock EL 34s to Gol...

Geoff, I live in Vermont, where the items in my garage are routinely subject to temps of minus 20 to minus 40 degrees.  Does that count?

But I am sure that Geoff have a wonderfully thought out answer, illustrated with little naysayer sheep following little naysayer people.

Actually cleeds, I think he bases his opinion on common sense. I am not sure how freezing anything results in the molecular repositioning of the atoms or whatever and improves anything?

Hi artemus,  I've been using the same Mullard IEC old stock rectifier in my st-70 for the last 10 years or so, and I am not shy about using the unit.  I would think you can probably score a good old stock tube from any of regularly named suppliers... 
Vandersteen 2C contour controls +-
Alternatively, perhaps the mid and treble controls are turned up too high in relation to the bass at any given sound level.  Their relative setting to the bass may have changed from the old to the new wires. 
Advantages of beryllium?
Actually kosst, some of us are operating even below erik’s "low standard", and enjoy reading his posts. 
Hum problem
I would rule out what you mentioned below before putting my amp in the mail.  Someone else chime in as I also have zero technical knowledge.  But all my troubles have always been due to tubes being bad/going bad.  To all- I will try swapping out 3... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
Disagree, I would absolutely miss the contribution of some of our valued dealers and manufacturers who post here.It is really just a few who post on and on, really hawking their products, whether they admit it or not, while throwing in a bit of in... 
Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc.
Several people have asked if it is possible that the speakers are just not broken in yet, do to non use in the gentleman's house.  I don't recall you answering this question?  Do you believe they are broken in?I am in the "you need a preamp" camp,... 
Tekton Double Impacts
It's of no concern to me, but Tekton's first explanation of why they won't release information regarding the speaker driver type doesn't make total sense.  If a competitor wanted to learn about the speaker and its drivers, they would just buy a pa...
