| Vintage amps & power cords I use high end power cords in my system and love how they improve the sound. My amp however has a captive old school cord and its an original custom job, I take perverse pleasure in the fact the pricetag was left on the plug, $.05 in bright orange... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 and Audio Note Kits Interstage PSE monoblocks FWIW not exactly apples to apples but I drive JMlabs (Focal) original Micro-Utopia's with a 17 watt PP class A triode wired stereo tube amp. No issues whatsoever it drives them effortlessly, not sure what the exact specs are but sensitivity is eit... | |

| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile Agreed on Shindo listened to my friends Vosne Romanee/Montrachet combo the other night amazing sound! Also would recommend Audio Note an M3 linestage new is in your budget or you could score a used M3 or M4 if you keep an eye on the ads here. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @dogmcd Very good point on on computers/drives in the listening room, with the Mini I have my NAS in my office and my system in the living room streaming wirelessly with no issues at all. I would personally not want computers or drives in my liste... | |

| Tube Preamp Recommendations? In your price range I would certainly look used to get more bang for your buck. This looks like a nice choice in your price range here:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-joule-electra-la-100-mk-11-excellent-condition-2017-04-02-pre...No relati... | |
| Random question/ thoughts about stuff for sale here I agree with what's said above, I was once deeply in the grip of audiophilia nervosa and bought and sold lots of gear constantly changing just to try something new. Almost all of it great stuff that looking back I could have been happy with. I've ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am with charles and grannyring on this one power supply and transformer quality being critically important on any tube amp. Never heard any of the Inspire amps but I will say I was very impressed with a Cary PP 2a3 integrated Vu lent me for few ... | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? There is no better answer than to try it both ways and see which you prefer. No one can tell you what sounds good but you so give it a try and report back! | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 45 Awesome glad to hear you are so happy with your new amp! I am an EL34 guy all way myself albeit with a different amp. If you haven't tried them I cannot recommend the Gold Lion KT-77 reissues high enough! They are the best EL34 variant I've heard ... |
