| Speaker Cable for Meadowlark Kestrel 2 Those are very easy on the eyes!I have not used the DNM speaker wires but coherency is what the DNM ICs deliver in spades. Have you looked into Mapleshade? I recall their wires to follow a similar minimalist approach like DNM which seems to play w... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? I've listened to John FOgerty's Blue Moon Swamp a lot. Top notch all around. It's one of my wife's favorites as well. | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss Will the DIYers be there? Its always an eye and ear opener to hear what they can do for practically nothing. | |

| recommend a mini monitor over 93db $1,000 value Triangle Titus might do well in a smaller room and won't set you back much, especially used. Only 90db or so sensitivity though. | |

| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Czar,Not a bad idea. I've seen some SET amp kits advertised. Haven't tried anything like that since building electronic kits as a kid, but if I could do it back then I probably could now. Did you have any particular kit/design in mind? | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mik,That helps thanks.Can you describe the specific timbre differences you hear with stock versus alternate rectifier tube?Thanks. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Kijanki, I am with you to date in terms of not hearing any noticeable difference using various cables with various sources. I also compare to phono source in my system and find most any good quality digital wire tends to work similarly well. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks for that but I am wondering what the specific noticeable effect to the sound is for this amp specifically by changing the rectifier tube as suggested. | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers My take is its a unique product targeting Vandersteen speaker owners seeking no holds barred ultimate performance from Vandersteen rather than mixing or matching.It might well work great with other speakers as well, but it seems the group most lik... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? What is it exactly that changing the rectifier tube improves?Thanks. |
