| Seasoning your sound with powercords @b_limo everybody uses their cables as "seasoning".Otherwise why make a change at all if you aren't expecting a different or better sound.Most of us have made too many changes too close together and can't figure out which one is the culprit.My th... | |
| What makes for a "good" musician? A blues festival I attended a few years back is the example that comes to mind about the difference between technical ability and pure magic.Several musicians performed their version of "Walking Blues" over the course of the weekend.Such a huge di... | |

| Tweaking preamp and amp combination charkune your last paragraph is exactly where I would start.The right nos tubes can make a huge positive difference.EH tubes have a clear 'modern' sound.Experiment with different brands that are known for a touch of warmth in the upper mids.When y... | |

| This is mainly B.S. or useless Hyperbole, but....secondary units/systems. I have an old Pioneer receiver that I listen to sometimes.Also an ancient Telefunken Am/Fm that sounds fabulous upstairs.I've been buying/trying different tubes in my main system to keep the upgrade bug at bay:-) | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? My four subs are in my living room and only one is visible.They easily tuck behind furniture,the wiring runs along the baseboards.The one that's visible is going to masquerade as a table supporting a plant soon,when it's safe to shop again.Yes Eri... | |
