| My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome... Good for you!I'm done too.Tube rolling doesn't count - it's a tweak:-)When you're ready to research,start with the input tubes.They have the biggest impact IMO. | |
| I need advice for power cords I like those Audio Envy pcs too.Fast,warm,and natural.Shunyata,JVC,Wire World are good inexpensive noise filtering cords if you have need. | |

| Help me decide which E88CC tubes i should buy I like Seimens and Mullards the best.Amperex are more clean and transparent but never dry and sterile,so I use them sometimes just to change things up.Reflektors are warm with great bass.That's what I hear anyway:-)None sound bad really,it's just ... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Bob Carver.He's an interesting Mad Scientist:-) | |
| Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best... We're kind of stuck with each other here since there's very few people in the 'real world ' who gives a hoot about our particular geeky hobby.I do wish there was more discussion and less trolling.Geoff cracks me up though:-) | |
| Favorite 'Best o/f" recordings! Hellhound on my Trail - Songs of Robert Johnsona compilationColumbia House Radio Hour - Volume 1a compilation | |
| Future of cables! Interesting!My layman's thought is a signal would be way less distorted traveling from A to B.May or may not be pleasing to the ear in every application. | |

| Cable burn-in questions. Yes the preamp needs to be on.The volume can remain off.It's a tedious process.I just went through this recently - 10 hrs a day and only turned the amp on the last hour to hear the changes wrought.This particular cable sounded horrendous the first... | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? I agree with @tvad .It's not right to take advantage of your local and online dealers.Unfortunately there are no shops anywhere near me.I would much rather have a shop where auditions are possible and spend my money there. | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? SVS are a good choice too.If you buy two they are discounted.Worth a look anyway!I'm very happy with mine. | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget Another vote for Audio Envy.Plenty of detail,sweet highs,great bass. | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? For that price,no.I did hear a difference in the posted video though.I liked the sound better without the risers. | |
| Stereo Receivers from the past... I had a sweet sounding 20 watt Pioneer long ago,1975 I think.I kick myself now for giving it away. |
