Dared sl-2000 preamplifier SET preamp tips tp
It's not your spelling it's basic grammar and also punctuation. Your post also features one of my least favorite writing trends the death of the paragraph. Sorry to pile on I know your post was well intentioned but it really is incredibly difficul... 
Best EL34 reissue?
Based on some responses in this thread, thanks Sfar, I got a quad of Genelex KT-77's last week from Jim McShane. Great service and fast communication and shipping. The tubes are as good as advertised more transparent and just more oomph than my pr... 
Best EL34 reissue?
FWIW I have had nice results with both EH fat bottle 6ca7s and JJ 6ca7s in my pushpull 17 watt stereo amp. EH a touch warmer and the JJ's a bit more transparent but both nice tubes and super affordable. 
Weird Band Names.
I used to see the Vomit Gobblers listed in the weekend section of the Washington Post when I was growing up always a fave of mine. 
High end CD player paired with High end processor
I think you guys are missing the point the OP is outputting the digital conversion to the Krell processor in which case he would really just be using the 300cd as a transport? Pretty sure that was the question, I would say if you just need a trans... 
The effect of source and external "double DACs"?
There is no "over-dac" effect because if you use the digital output of a cd player is bypasses the internal dac. A cd player can make a perfectly fine transport, a dedicated transport may be better but likely significantly more expensive. 
Squeezbox Duet Playing Partial Tracks
Mofimadness I actually went back to LMS 7.7.2 from the "upgraded" 7.7.3 and that fixed the problem thanks for your suggestions though. 
Squeezbox Duet Playing Partial Tracks
Mofimadness doing that right now on the Duet thanks. What do you mean about restarting the hard drive? It's external so it powers down automatically when unplugged right? 
Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's
You know I was just thinking what the world needed was another release of Kind of Blue. 
Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s
I always use silver cables with tubes and since the Silver Streaks are doing well for you why not try another Kimber, say KCAG or more Silver Streaks for preamp to amp? I use KCAG myself from source to preamp,a great cable, transparent as can be a... 
Help Inherited Sonus Faber Speakers
Very nice speakers and great looking! My GF remembers them wistfully to this day and I sold mine 8 years ago. Give them a shot you might get hooked on good sound! Cool boss btw. 
R.I.P. Brent Rainwater a.k.a.
What extremely sad news! I enjoyed Brainwater's posts over the years. This community will miss him and my heart goes out to his family. 
Soliloquy 6.3 amp?
Thirded, these were designed to be used with low powered tube gear. I used to have a pair of the next model down, 5.2 maybe? Anyway super easy to drive I was using a C-J Premier 11a at the time. The good news is they are good speakers so when you ... 
Pathos Logos - Volume control problem
Is this a new amp, or is it new to your friend? Could there be a unity gain input he is inadvertently using? 
Maxell or TDK?
It was always Maxell for me back in the day, TDK's just did not seem as well constructed to me.
