| Should I add a DAC ? Which one ? Never used one? I have 3.6 front and 2.5 rears.As for DAC it's your ears, but I suggest a tubed output unit it will sweeten the whole system just a tad. Could be exactly what you seek. Try and borrow an AhToeb oh however you spell it. I don't think it's what you ... | |

| Threshold amp tune up? It will ne re-capping and that vintage usually needs a new power switch. There are other things that can be done, but those two things should keep it going just fine for another 10-12 years.loon | |

| Need better sound from my records, where to start? For that rig I would go with a Ortofon X5MC. It's a high output MC. Not the last word in anything but very good at everything and extermely well balanced. Nice cartridge, and if you shop they can usually be had for $150 new.loon | |
| H2O Owner Survey ? The Man is willing to let you hear his product in your home.But he's small, and if he decides there's no money or future in his product, repairs, warranty service, and reliability are questionable.However, since I haven't heard these, they may be ... | |
| Current tube Manufacturer's as good as NOS Best Spotty mix here, some NOS are better, but a LOT are very noisy. Some NOS are very good, and some are excellent, and some you can't listen to.Sound like all things audio, let your ears lead you.loon | |

| VTL MB 450 sig v cj prem 8a's v Mac MC 501's Can;t speak to the VTL 450's but can speak to the Manley 350's with KT90's.Bass is awesome, toob rolling currently as the amps are ever so slightly recessed in the mids, un-toob like.Am currently driving with a SS amp, so hard to tell where the re... | |

| Anyone using a Pass 250.5? Can't speak to the .5 version, but if it's like the 350 that I have, it'll freakin drive a truck if you need it to.Lots of reserve and in many ways better than my Manley 350's. But as nice as it is, it still doesn't have that WARM toob glow.The re... |
