Hendrix.... He sounds just like Lenny Kravitz.. that. we listened to last night. Can I have it now? 
SET Amp question
Thanks for the read Ralph! It would seem that the distortion spectrum or bandwidth is more important with respect to the preceived loudness then the intrinsic acoustic power? EG: to make a rig sound less forward one would strive to minimise odd di... 
Cary CAD 805AE 845 300B Tube Question
You are prolly hitting the 300b with too much grid voltage. My 'tube plate ' measures 140F in the resistor side of the 300b and 114F ont other side. FYI the 845 tube is about 400 degrees inside of the plate. 
Will Graphene replace Mylar?
Just imagine a paper cut! And its clear too! 
Cary CAD 805AE 845 300B Tube Question
Try a 6sn7 in the input tubes. I use Sylvania red label. 
best position of components in relation to spkers?
RL&C as well as dielectric absorbance constants are what govern our selection of connection wire (wifi is a whole new paradigm). These parameters are listed and measured per distance. The lowest total numbers are what we seek which demands the... 
Velodyne DD10 vs DD12
The advantage with a small sub is theoretically will go higher in xo frequency. Thus allowing one to intregrate stereo subs better. 2500 sq ft is starting to get a little large for one DD10. Solution : if one is not enough, try two. Just remember,... 
SET Amp question
Do you think extra big powercables might tip the response for more at 100-200hz 
SET Amp question
Pardon from the semi thread jack.Is there anything that will minimize the speaker SET interaction. e.g. bigger, shorter speaker wire: adding additional stuffing inside the cabinets: changing bias voltage. Any suggestions? 
PerfectWave Bridge
The PWD prolly has a stiffer powersupply then your sound card: a better clock: and a lower output impedance. The brdige has a fifo buffer and that will benefit all inputs. M2C 
old expensive cd player or new cd mid price ?
Old expensieve amps with new and midprice digital has worked well for me. 
Interesting priorities
Already determinrd that it's the pet first then the hard drive: the kids are gone: wifes' next. 
Modwright Ultimate Sony xa5400 sacd -Review
Boy what an informative! A few weeks ago I was ready to pull the trigger on a 5400 when I found out that Sony no longer makes the machine and no longer manufacture SACD parts. Who knew. Drat. My next choice was a PWT-PWD mostly for its sound, conn... 
Is my room too small
You might want to try some Green Mountains before you finalise your decision. 
Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave
:(thread jack)What do you preceive the shortcomings that the PWD possesses. Also what type of modification would resolve these shortcomings?: (thread un jack)
