Hybrid tube/ss phono pre amps. Are they better than just Tube or SS alone?
I'm not answering your question directly, but I will say there are many really good tube and solid state phone amps available.I've owned several different Phono Preamps over the years. I currently use the Allnic H 1201 (that I purchased new from A...

@68pete, Congratulations on your purchase. Be sure to let us know how the MC 6 Hemisphere works in your system.

I think the Sprout and the Sennheiser HD598 headphones are a great idea.

Magnepan 1.7i - Is a Luxman 505UX good enough

Amplifier stand for a Pass X250.8?
I agree with almarg,I own a different (lesser expensive) Adona amp stand that has worked very well for me in different applications. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
@limniscate,Perhaps the SR fuses aren't going to improve the quality of music in your Magneplanar 1.7i's. I would think the fuses are burned in by now.As David mentioned, try them in your amp, pre amp, or source.Out of curiosity, what other compon...
