| Lets talk tubes in Pharaoh Integrated Walter good for you. Always optimize the physical setup of what you have and in many cases that will eliminate the need to change gear. That means speaker placement and orientation maybe some simple room treatments isolating components to keep noi... | |

| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? It's a screw thread not nuts. 🃏 | |

| Thinking about buying a different tube preamp... Abuck, sorry to hear that! | |
| Thinking about buying a different tube preamp... I'd look no further than ARC, VAC or Rogue were it me. Rogue will likely be the best value. For a SS alternative, probably can't go wrong with a matching Classe pre-amp. Classe is one of teh few SS lines I would feel good about going in as an alte... | |

| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Taking it one step further, limited bandwidth would benefit SET sound by rolling off both the lowest and highest frequencies perhaps. The power can go much further with some low end roll off, and not much happens in music at the higher frequencies... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I do not know much about the SET amps specs, but SETs are known for their midrange magic mainly. Since most music occurs in the midrange, excellence there can go a long way if nothing too bad is happening elsewhere. Limited bandwidth in particular... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Al's observations regarding factors that might contribute to a SET amp having synergy with the Decapos specifically make a lot of sense. Given what is known, I suspect many of those things could well be in play together. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Nice. Let us know how they work out. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps if what you have is doing good, it makes perfect sense to not get rid of what you have until you have proof of something better That requires actual listening and comparison, one way or another. | |
| omnidirectional sound The OHM Walshes are a solid choice if you need options to go as loud as needed, like a neutral sound that lends itself well to all kinds of music and are looking for good quality coherent sound from most any location in the room. They have a much ... |
