Power regenerator vs conditioner I use a goal zero yeti 1250 lead acid battery generator. It generates a perfect sine wave of power and significantly reduces the noise floor. Before I tried it I didn't think I had any noise in my Power. It weighs 100 lbs. | |

Supratek Owners Thread I had a hum and found that fussing with the way my cables were routed resolved it. | |
Supratek Owners Thread Hey, fellow Supratek owners. Got a request for you, and I think it’s relevant for those who might be considering Supratek. Here’s the ask: Please share what other preamps you owned or considered when choosing Supratek. My only personal comparison ... | |

Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? I can say from personal experience that Sound Smith will not re-tip the 17D3. Dynavector is the only place to send it/ swap it. | |
300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life? My 300B SET amp has a standby function that allows me to warm the tubes up gradually.

Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new?

Solid Stage vs Tube amp @itsotor I commend to your attention a white paper titled something like "solid state vs. tubes". It is available on the sanders sound systems website. Roger Sanders explains in easy to understand language a key factor in why tubes sound different... | |
tough choices My goodness. There are superb alternatives out there for so much less money. Try CODA. Superb design and breathtaking performance from an engineer with a first class pedigree. | |
Supratek Owners Thread I've made several recent changes to my system:1 - picked up a used Audio Electronic Supply (AES) (Cary) SE-1 300b power amp. Hooked up to my 93dB sensitive JBL 4430s it sounds awesome. I've always been curious about the 300b bandwagon / sound and ... |
