| Preamp Deal of the Century slowhand:last email i sent an email to mick regarding the kt88. he said he was a couple of weeks out waiting on a transformer supplier. shoot him a line as this was about a month ago when i emailed him i believe.kenji:the cabernet is able to use p... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century has anybody had a chance to hear the new cabernet using dual 6SN7's (2 pair that is) rather than 6SN7/DHT? mick said the new cab design is about $1k cheaper and sounds better. i know it's dumb of me, but i think the DHT version would look better s... | |
| Pure silver solid wire jumpers??? shouldn't be a problem connecting the bare wire to the binding post as long as you maintain the correct polarity. + to + and - to -. as far as sound, some will say you'll hear a difference. some will say you won't. you already own the silver so gi... | |
| Tubes for HT? i wouldn't waste a tube watt on a movie. i prefer to use my tubes for music. that's why i separated my systems though they still share the same room. if you must use tubes, i don't think it'll be too big of a problem though you may miss the headro... | |

| What are these tubes perhaps a picture of the tube could help people in assisting you. | |
| Audio Grade fuses i personally wouldn't waste my money on audiophile fuses, but they're cheap enough to give a try if you're really interested, | |
| KT-88/ 90 choices to replace my new stock tubes i'm running ei kt90 type iii in my monoblocks. there are 8 tubes per amp and the bias setting is for all tubes so it is so low that i've never run into the glowing plate issue. that's not to say that the kt90's aren't problematic, but even if the ... | |

| Roku SoundBridge vs. SqueezBox3 i'm looking into the sb3 option. it appears to be most popular around here. no first hand knowledge though. | |
| Cary Audio. SLM-100 Against Golden Tube Se-200 from what i recall, some of gta's other amps (se-40?) were plagued with failure issues. i can't say how the se-200 will hold up, but if you do decide to purchase, make sure you have a line on a good gta repair person/facility in the off chance of ... |
