| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @jeffreyw - congratulations! You’ve discovered a component that “resonates” with you. Many components sound great, but the ones that pull you in emotionally and are affordable are few. | |

| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Big step. From combo Pro-ject RPM 5 w Sumiko #2 cart to VPI Avenger Rim drive. The Pro-ject was the catalyst to begin building my first bucket list high-end audio system. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." Not all “experts” are created equal. Also, there seems to be 3 reasons against negative professional reviews: 1) P reviewers choose interesting components for their audience, usually meaning newer designs with good reputations - so expect reliabil... | |
| Looking for recommendations for new system …single ended triode tube amp… SET tube amps are typically low to very low power so will need efficient to very efficient speakers. For instance, my 100db speaker can barely handle a 2 watt SET amp. So first determine the minimum power of you... | |
| Any comments on the T+A PA 2000 R integrated amplifier? @hgeifman I believe you have the right idea. T+A offers great circuit engineering whose Sonic’s punch above their price points. Great Sonic products, but whether you”ll like comes down to personal “subjective” sonic preferences and maybe speake... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? @billpete I believe you have the general idea: It cost more in circuitry to produce balanced amps. Many lower price tube amps only come unbalanced. It depends on the circuit design, but “usually” balanced is quieter than single ended. No guar... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» Worrying about things beyond my control is fruitless. Bitching, moaning, and finger pointing in the hope that “someone else” will fix is also mostly fruitless. I try to avoid such things especially dwelling on negative items. | |

I usually associate advantages of high-end audio with increased realism/accuracy in voices and acoustic instruments. Rap seems monotoned but with a beat and ... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @billstevenson - my system is also transparent high quality so am considering REL. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Torx screws for Leben Lid Didn’t know that getting “screwed” can be a good thing 😉 | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review Great review- thanks for sharing | |
| Integrated amp with preamp tubes Maybe a used Krell K300i. Sliding bias with class A sound (tubelike warmth) | |
| Thinking about going electrostatic @bill1957 Seems you want quick panel speaker with a cone bass so you are indifferent between electrostatic, ribbon, planar. In addition to your Pulsars and Talons, seems like lots of fun. Enjoy! | |
| Advice on making a speaker change @dmiller01 You have a high level of electronics relative to your speakers so yes, agree speakers should be upgraded. A speaker that can give too to bottom performance. Maybe add Magico A5 to your list as it’s in the same price point as Rockport... |
