Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit...
@bstatmeister I honestly don't know,not having experienced what the *swarm* is claimed to do.I'm going to give a second sub a try next week and see what happens.I just wanted to point out some things for further research if you were interested.Wha... 
Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit...
IMHO the sub (or even better) subs don't need to plumb the depths in order to greatly improve the quality of sound in your room.Do some reading about the *swarm* that involves four subs.Millercarbon has a really interesting thread about his experi... 
Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?
mapman mirrors my feelings about hitting the target.I feel that I have, but fooling around with different tube combinations and cheap tweaks keeps things interesting.Finding new music and collecting different versions of a favorite song is fun also.

@uberwaltz in ten years our gear will be vintage and sought after enviously;) 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
The thirty days has passed for me anyway.I don't want to send it back,I think it's outstanding:) 
Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?
I thought I was done,stopped reading the magazines and stopped coming on here for several years.But then got the urge to try something new and I'm baaack. I am pretty much done now,retirement means my disposable income is curtailed.I'm happy to re... 
Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile?
I'm just a music lover that became fascinated by how putting together various components and tweaks can change the entire listening experience from average to "the band is in my room".I 've found it to be an isolating hobby though,the only audio b... 
Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile?
@2psyop  that thing your grandfather created is a theremin.Think of the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" or the " Ooooooo" sounds in old horror movies.Those things are a blast to play with:)

NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@nasaman  I ordered an interconnect a couple of months ago and stupidly asked about the return policy after I received it.Never heard back from Bob so I'm assuming he doesn't have the thirty day trial as he did in the past.I got the Extreme not th... 
DIY is not all about saving money
I would love to build my own cables and equipment but I just don't have the skills to do so.I can plumb,wire,build,and install things in my home but finer more intricate work,just nope.  
Moderately priced audio
My system is made up of moderately priced components.It does take some research to seek out and put together a budget conscious system.It's not as glamorous and exciting to discuss or dream about owning someday:) Presently I'm enjoying simply twea... 
Whats playing on your system today?

For Blues Fans
Thanks!I'll be watching that tonight,sounds interesting. 
3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase?
I have an LTA MicroZotl.It is very quiet,clean,clear,open,slightly sweet,but doesn't 'round off' the sound.It certainly could if you wanted to do a little tube rolling.Like others said,there's no way to tell which one is the best fit until you try...
