| What should I upgrade next? Sorry but I still disagree with you " speaker first " people. Since I am a experienced technician employed by the largest broadband company in the world. I can accurately tell you that " garbage in is definitely going to give you garbage out " It ... | |

| DIY speakers Cool, thanks for all the tips. Looks like I will busy for awhile surfing the net. uuummmmmm next I think I will venture into a diy amp kit. It's the little boy in me! | |
| 6550C vs KT88 I have both the Svetlana 6550, and the kt88. In my system the 6550 has better bass, but the kt88 absolutely kicks but in the midrange. Of all the kt88's ( new tubes, not nos ) The Svetlana has the smoothest mids and highs. I have also had discussi... | |
| What should I upgrade next? I would trash the whole thing and start over :) But since you can not do that and you get even more lost with all the opinions here, then flip a coin and then commit to one thing. It has been my personal experience that the source will make the bi... | |
| good tube tester Thanks for the suggestions, the more I looked the more I figured to ger everything I wanted in a tube tester I would be spending plenty of money. So I bought one called ACCURATE. Never heard of it but we will see what it's like. | |

| Cheap speaker tweak Well I couldn't find any 1 1/2" thick maple at Home Depot, I guess I'll need to check out a cabinet maker for this. But of course since I was at Home Depot and me being a typical guy ( kid in a candy store ) I had a look around. And what do you kn... | |
| tube match? Here is the necessary info;41/40 (JTL 12AU7 with "D" shaped getter ), 37/36, 28/32, & 28/35. All measurements recorded on EMC 205 tester, where 40 is spec for a new tube and 25 is "acceptable" as 65%. | |
| tube match? Sorry I should have mentioned the pre I wanted to run the tubes in is a Rogue 66. I will also e-mail and find out what type of tester was used. | |
| Cheap speaker tweak If you really want to try the maple tiles, go to your local cabinet maker. Give him the measurements you would like, he/she can even put the fancy edge on for you if you would like. I know how we audiophiles are into looks :) I bought my amps base... | |
| Cheap speaker tweak Ok Ok! So I'm not the inverntor of the idea but it was new to me, and I found it purely by accident. I think that is the way the Mississippi river was discovered as well, by accident. So just like me, someone down here was screaming " I found it I... | |

| Best Remote $1,250 used preamp? If you like the tube pre sound I would suggest sticking with it. BAT VK3i is in your ball park and was designed to work with either ss or tube gear. I think you will find it to be sweeter than the Sonic Frontiers. I think the pre you are running n... | |
| turntable madness Psychicanimal,Good suggestions, I have actually been looking into the RAT Shack pre. It runs on a 9v battery? It must run deathly silent. Is there anyone out there who knows how long the battery lasts? I have also considered the phono pre by Paras... |
