| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Sibelius, I had an opportunity to audition the Vosne-Romanee when I was in the market for a preamp, it is just FABULOUS in every way.I've learned there are no free lunches in life and you do get what you paid for. | |
| Does Aesthetix calypso match with Krell 200s pow? Offline, go for a tube preamp. Just make sure the output impedance is low enough to drive your Krell. I was never a fan of Krell preamps. My experience with the KRC, KRC-HR and KRC3 is similiar to yours plus a FLAT soundstage. I'm a big fan of Kre... | |

| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Pani, It seems you are changing cables every few months, have you consider the problem is not cable but something else?At one time my system sounded great but just didn't click. I changed amps, cables, tubes, DAC and finally replacing the SF Line3... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? 03-04-11: PaniWhile I will not debate on the tonality of the Livelines, I will just say that it MUST be auditioned before buying to see if it falls into your camp of signature sound. It definitely has polarized impression. Not for everyone.Pani (R... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Pani, There is no BEST component but just personal preferences. Every component has a sonic signature and I agree components should not be chosen as a substitute for a sound. If you want a tube sound, get a tube component. Good luck in your advent... | |

| Sonus Faber Stradivari amp: X600.5 or X1000.5 ? Peterayer, you have a FANTASTIC system and don't need to change anything. I was just trying to be funny :-) | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari amp: X600.5 or X1000.5 ? 02-21-11: PeterayerJohnb30,Congratulations on your new amps....I often turn my amps on about 2-3 hours before I listen and then I'm pretty sure any improvement during the first hour is from the cartridge. I dare say it is similar to what I hear wh... | |
| Will a good power cable replace the need for a PC? From my experiences, a good power cable does NOT replace a PC.I have 2 dedicated lines for my sound system. - my current mono amps sounds best plug direct into the dedicated wall outlets. - preamp sounds best plug in the unfiltered outlet (this is... | |

Checkout the end of excerpt from Grant Fidelity website below.CV181-Z (pair)This tube is a true 6SN7 equivalent and you can use it in place of 6SN7 tubes of vari... | |

After reading 6moon's Zu Varial review and corresponded with Srajan Ebaen, I bought a pair of Varials and SURPISELY it blew away all my more expensive ICs. BTW, Zu Ash is an excellent digital cable t... |
