| Linear Tube Audio Micro ZOTL - Version -3 in-depth upgrade information Congrats audioman58 looks like a killer preamp I've liked all the LTA stuff I've heard at CAF. I'm sure the anticipation is killing you hang in there. ;) | |
| Background vibration and your system. Fascinating topic and I checked my location very little seismic activity here in DC it would seem. That said I've had positive results from footers. Currently using Gregitek Aries footers under my preamp not much else. Amps are on a BBA ash board ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Alvin and the Chipmunks. | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? I tend to roll in the 65-75db in my small room and 75db can be quite loud but it sure does sound good. | |

| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I'm done changing things unless something breaks down. Am I done adding things? Who know but any additions are very few and far between. I still browse the listings but just for entertainment. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I wear gloves if the tubes are still hot otherwise no. | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? I would very strongly recommend if you're at the beginning of a system building journey to go out and do some listening. Finding a good dealer who's sound you like is a good way to avoid a lot of sidegrades. If no dealers are near you maybe hit s... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Honestly I'd say if you can return them do so rather than trying bandaids to try and fix them. | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. According to that I am definitely not an Audiophile. Though I wonder if it makes a difference that I judge people who use Spotify out in the open? |
