What is your best kept secret in mid-fi?
I agree with Rsbeck, however I’ll take it one step farther and say put one or two 5 KVA (or larger) isolation transformers into the equation. If you thought the dedicated circuits were a great improvement, wait until you hear the additional improv...

Benefits of tube sound with SS amp with tube cdp?
In my opinion you will hear two similar but different tube like sounds. They will both sound good, the question is which sound will you prefer? Different tube preamps will also sound different, and the same tube preamp rolling tubes can be made to...

Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition Interconnect
Gbmcleod, My unit is an older Presence Audio Linestage I with an upgraded power supply. I would think the Midnight Silver Edition would sound very good in almost any system it was put into. I have experimented with my SS system (individual compone... 
Best speakers for low power tube amp
There is such a large number of speakers that would sound good, that I don’t know where to begin. Everyone has their opinion as to what would sound the best, and most suggestions made would probably be good ones. Because of what I just stated, I’l...

To demonstrate one aspect of what Twl said above regarding different amps, in my system I power my Abby’s several different ways:1) Cary 2A3 monoblocks (5/watts per channel).2) The same as #1 but with added Fostex T90A Horn super tweeter 106 dB an... 
A Wholly Different Approach to Power Conditioning
Personally speaking, I think the idea of DC power is a good one, as I have emailed with Twl (in the past) about the concept. I think it’s possible the power could be cleaner than what I achieve with my AC power filtration system (which now does a ...
