| Tube Rolling for the PSE HL-1 Hi,I owned a PSE HL1 for more than 8 years and after trying many other tubes I concluded that the standard Sovtek 6922's sounded the best. Bottom line, tube rolling with this preamp is a waste of time. I would look elsewhere in your system to affe... | |
| ProAc D Two and an amp to live with forever I recently heard the D2's and the much larger D38's with the Primare i30 integrated amplifier. It sounded great with both speakers. I have also heard the D2's with the Leben and thought they sounded great together however, it was in a small NYC ap... | |

| Good Matched Amps Preamps for Proac D28 My dealer has a setup using the D38's and a Primare i30 integrated amplifier and the Primare CD 31 with Shunyata interconnects and Proac Speaker cables that sounds great. I could easily live with the system. The Proac's and Primare work very well ... | |
