| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp "...first 6 watts is pure class A sounds really good I’m just wondering what I’m missing i guess I need more class A..."With speakers @ 102dB efficiency, of course depending on your room size, I suspect most if not all of your listening is within ... | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp "...I’m trying to decide pure class A or Tube amp..."There are lots of tube amps that run in class A. Look for single ended triode or pentode (or beam power) design tube amps. No experience with your speakers but Line Magnetic models with 300B or ... | |
| PROAC D48R Bass Booming What type of floor are the speakers placed on? If suspending wood floor, make sure they are decoupled from the floor. You can also experiment with blocking the side vents near the floor to see if that helps. | |

| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? "The 6SN7 is in and playing, 10 minutes ago. Soundstage is unleashed, filled-out, big, warm, detailed, easeful, relaxed, with enormous bass and dynamics."This begs the question why the stock Orchid does not use this tube. Seems like a very obvious... | |

It it were me, before spending $500 on a $400 turntable/arm/cartridge piece, I would follow the (other) recommendations by some experienced members.
