| Initial Thoughts on Harbeth Super HL5 Plus Congrats those are wonderful speakers indeed! It pretty much came down to Harbeth or Audio Note for me and I went AN but love the Harbeth sound! Enjoy and yes beware a sudden bout of upgraditits. | |
| Publish the age of your component when selling (let's discuss) Agreed with much of what's said above having bought, and sold, lots of used equipment it can be very hard to know the manufacture date. Also I listen to music and rarely with a stopwatch handy so hours are at best a guess. Do your homework as jmcg... | |
| power cables where do I start? As I stated in the other thread, if you don't want to slog through it I just got a Furutech cord made for me by VH Audio. Furutech FP-S032N cable terminated with F-11 gold plated connectors for $402 burned in and shipped. It sounds outstanding Chr... | |

| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Nice Wig and glad you're enjoying it so much! Love that type of filterless minimalist design. | |
| SB Acoustics 12” SB34NRXL75-8 Those are pretty big speakers you're running now if they aren't giving you the bass you're looking for have you messed around with positioning? Looks like they are rated down to 23hz and look like they have the volume to get that low in room. | |

| What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25 I have no dog in this fight but that picture of the Sugden amp looked weird to me, no capacitors that I could see. Did some googling and this review:http://www.hi-fi.com.pl/testy/ko%C5%84c%C3%B3wki-mocy/3465-sugden-masterclass-spa-4Though in, I th... | |
| ***SET***What Is Your Experience With Different Flavors*** + 2 to me it's less about tube type or topology and more about design, execution, output transformer, and power supply quality. I had well regarded 300B monos I didn't care for, I have an EL34 triode wired Class A pushpull amp that sounds fantastic. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? The OP has already answers his own, once again trolling, question. "Aside from a few very high end products", yes it's expensive to do all those things right. As with many things you get what you pay for. | |
| Slovakia JJ ECC 802 and 803 tubes. They are drop in replacements for 12ax7's and 12au7's. I still think you can buy better tubes than JJ's for you preamp including some nice NOS tubes but it's your call of course. | |
| Slovakia JJ ECC 802 and 803 tubes. linnlingo I think you mean ECC83 which is the same as 12ax7 and ECC82 which is a 12au7. At least that's what the non SE version of your preamp uses. Very common tubes however my gear doesn't use either so no specific recs. I'm sure others will hav... | |
| Let's talk power cords Charles,Unfortunately I am lazy and hate climbing behind my rack I left what it did for my DAC, and I left it there. I may have to give my audiophile club card back.:)Cheers,Jon |
