| Basically happy, but… A loom can work when there are different series within the brand to mix and match with. I've always mixed and matched too:-) | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? IME an entire loom of silver cables is too much of a good thing. I like one copper IC in the mix somewhere along with some silver power cables and some copper ones.It's a process to figure out which goes where. I like silver on the front end and f... | |
| Vibration dampening Primacoustic Recoil Platforms are under both my speakers and subs.Their purpose is is to address floor vibrations. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I'm glad you're enjoying the MA.I do check this thread from time to time and was interested in how this new unit would work out for you. Being a newbie to eqs I remain happy with the API and have no itch to upgrade yet. I did get to show it off... | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K I agree with soix. CJs have a lush sound.Linear Tube Audio would be closer to what you're looking for. Yes,I've owned both:-) | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway Have you considered a parametric equalizer?The ability to fine tune frequencies might provide the results you're looking for.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/equalizer-in-a-hi-fi-system | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp I have the Omen Defs also and they certainly don't lack in detail. I'll bet the Luxman will be a great choice and a good fit.I actually have the RP1 myself,which is a good fit for my system at present. | |
| Change of sound with Deoxit G100 I used a magnifying glass to read the ingredients in Deoxit years ago. It's a large % of denatured alcohol with a couple of inactive ingredients.Not exactly snake oil but obscenely over priced for something one can pick up at a hardware store for ... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? A truly blind test is when I change a cable or add a tweak unbeknownst to my spouse and the change is perceived immediately. I think my bias is that I do expect a difference.Why else make a change? But it's not always positive or sometimes so sub... | |
| speakers and cables "I hooked them up was I went from the SUB SPEAKER OUT from both subwoofers" You want to go to the sub INPUT not the output. Unless that was a misprint in your original post, using the output on the subs would blow a fuse.You would be directing th... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Good to hear! Have a happy 4th:-) | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp I have Zu Omen Defs also, along with an RP1 (RCA Cleartops).I feel the Rogue with those particular tubes has just the right touch of warmth. It replaced an LTA MZ2 which was not warm at all no matter what tubes were tried,but was very transparent ... | |

| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Any shop that works on guitar amps will be able to diagnose and repair the QS if you decide to have them checked out. What I didn't mention before so as not to throw shade on Mike Sanders, is I initially shipped him the amp that wasn't working.Wha... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? One of the pair of QS Mid Monos was acting up. I took both in to be serviced and it was a capacitor that needed replaced.The tech replaced the cap on both and they're still going strong several years later at my brother's house. The repair was $85. |
