| I need a good Preamp @mechans , @wemfan ,The Atma-Sphere 6SN7 based preamp (UV-1) does offer MM or MC as an option. Its sonics are like a great classic tube preamp, but it’s single-ended, so I recommended the balanced units due to the design of your Krell monoblocks. | |

| What experience have you had with 5814a Tubes? I prefer the 5814A tubes over standard 12AU7’s in most cases. I’ve used the RCA 5814A triple MICA black plates and they were more engaging and dynamic, plus they have the RCA warmth and extended low-end. Are you using them in your PrimaLuna? In wh... | |

| Looking at sub $200 power cables. On second thought, the AC 9SE might be a benefit to the A23 since it has a large power supply.I've also heard good things about the Cullen power cables. | |
| Bad vinyl Are these new 180g pressings? I have experienced enough defects in new vinyl to stop buying it. I have also noticed high levels of compression on some new releases of old albums. | |
| Looking at sub $200 power cables. I think I have my mind made up at least on the AC 14SE for my AVR/preamp, Node 2 (C7) and my display.The Pangea Audio AC 14SE MKII Signature Power Cable is the one to buy. I have owned all the Pangea models over the years and the MKII Signature of... | |
| Pass xa30.5 vs First Watt F6 I had a conversation with Mark at Reno Hifi regarding the F6 vs. the Pass, (I was interested in the F6). Basically, they both sound lovely, but the F6 would not have much reserve power when faced with a demanding speaker impedance at low frequenci... | |

| Best interconnect burn-in method @shadorne ,I’m not here to debate the concept of cable burn-in, god knows it’s been done before. But what the manufacturers do state is that newly installed cables need a settling in period. For example, cables that have been coiled and packed in ... | |
