Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets.
I meant a very low value resistor not capacitor.

A fifty cent very low value capacitor like the Bybee Quantum Purifiers? Sounds like more snake oil to me. https://www.stereonet.com/forums/topic/63993-the-definitive-bybee-experiment/page/40/    
Which is better: Spendor BC1, SP1/2, or SP2/3.
The Spendor BC1 and B&W DM2 /DM2a are both very good.Which is better would really depend on your room interaction.From memory the BC1 probably has better imaging but the DM2 better power handling.Both use the Celestion HF1300 not Goodmans twee... 
Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000
Facten,Yes they dip to 3.5 ohms but that is in the treble region not the bass.In the bass they are more like a minimum of 4.5 ohms so are not a difficult load and that suggests they would be quite valve amp friendly.  
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
Bakoon.Not powerhouses but they have a very pure ,open and 3D sound.Just about anything else other than a very very good SET sounds hazy by comparison.An AMP 5521 for example.  
Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?
Many modern speakers seem to have an emphasised treble.That seems to be the way the world has gone-more of everything is considered better! They should come with an L pad so you can adjust the output .You could have them installed and say mounted ... 
Accuphase Amplifiers - members opinions on their class A- A75 amp and the a/b P-7300 amp
My brother has the A65 driving Magico S5 speakers.That is a beautiful sounding amplifier.Much better than the much more powerful Vitus it replaced.  
Which Threshold amp to buy???
Th Usher R 1.5s are very good.  
Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se?
The Cary SLP05 is an extremely good preamp.My brother owned one.The mid model and above Suprateks [say Sauvignion 6SN7] are better however and about half the price.The Suprateks sound a bit similar but just a bit better in every area but especiall... 
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
The Cary SLP 05 is a very good sounding preamp.The mid level Supratek 6SN7 preamps like Supratek Sauvignon  are a bit better however.And less than half the price.The difference being you are buying the Supratek direct from the maker and avoiding r... 
Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others?
The slightly constrained image depth is true.Thst is because the 318B was designed with a moderate amount of negatve feedback so it could drive/control most mainstream sort of speakers.Which also gives it quite tight bass by SET standards.So it is... 
A question for fans of Threshold amplifiers
I really like my Usher R1.5.Which is a Threshold design. 
Are all amps being built wrong?
Single malt whisky please.The Scots really dislike it being called Scotch. 
Are all amps being built wrong?
All amps should come with variable feedback. 
How long is it taking to receive a preamp?
You have to feel sorry for the makers.I ordered some capacitors from Madisound and sent by UPS and it took 13 days to get from Wisconsin to L.A..And we thought our postal service was slow!
