| Does your pet listen to your system? One of our cats was a Siamese and she liked violin music.She would sit and listen as long as a violin was playing. No other instruments got her attention like that. | |
| Detecting differences among cables Nice post so far but unfortunately this posting will probably attract some of the naysayers you have mentioned and there is no way to get them to change their negativity. I am fortunate to have four different speaker cables to use in my system and... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Picking 3 is tough so I am going to stretch a bit with four.Melody GardotKD LangLissieEva Cassidy | |
| Is static the culprit? I have a pair of the Kismets and I should have mentioned this earlier and the post from Mijostyn made me think of a similar issue. I was getting intermittent static out of my left channel amp. I swapped cables and the tubes in my preamp and it ... | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino Interesting post. I have had Krell amps in the past and they did some things very well but once I got into good tube gear there was no turning back . With D’Agostino I just surmised that you were purchasing the same old Krell sound but in a fancie... | |
| Is static the culprit? Did you switch the cables between left and right channels? | |
| When suggesting audio components for friends and relatives... I have put together systems for friends and family. I ask what their budget is and their goals. I will put together the electronics but for the speakers I usually have them listen to 3 or 4 speakers that are within their budget that I think are ... | |

| Subwoofer Suggestion If you are going to use a sub two or more is the way you should go. | |
| Alternatives to Brick and Mortar I like the idea of product ambassadors. I used to live in metro Boston and there were a few shops where you could demo and borrow gear which was great. Now that I have moved north a couple of states I no longer have that opportunity and I do miss ... | |
| 845 Tubes @facten yes but the defectors might only be the principals not the people who make the tubes. My wife made very exotic vacuum tubes for the military and it took her years to learn her craft. Believe it or not our military still uses vacuum tubes. | |
| 845 Tubes I recently purchased the Psvane Acme Supreme series 845 tubes from Grant Fidelity. They replaced Shuguang Nature series 845 tubes . The Nature series were much better than a couple of other Shuguang 845 tubes I had used. The Psvane’s are easily th... | |
| Audio rack I second Adona who make excellent racks at a fair price. | |
| Where to buy decent 845 and 211 tubes? I just replaced all 4 of my Shuguang Nature Series 845 tubes on my Cary 211 AE amps with the Psvane Acme Supreme Series and they were a noticeable step up in sound quality compared to the Shuguang’s that are pretty decent tubes. I purchased them f... |
