| Tube Biasing? Explain Please Rolling means swapping or experimenting with different brands of tubes. Often times people take out the stock tubes and try different NOS tubes. Biasing allows you to adjust all the tubes so they all perform egually. Tubes may not age the same way... | |
| why so much Anthem? Thanks for the info. Anyone have an opinion on the Intgrated 1? I like the "tube" sound. I was thinking that this amp might match up well with Triangle Titus speakers. I've seen some good prices on the Int 1 lately. I was wondering why it was disc... | |
| B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio? Paul, it sounds like you have a nice system. I agree with Jeffloistarca that you would be stepping down. B&O is kind of like Bose in that it will impress non-audiophiles with it's looks. I would guess that your system would kill a B&O system. | |

| GoldenTube I've resently heard that Golden Tube/Solo Electronic has gone out of business. I'm not 100% sure that it's true though. The phone number for Golden Tube on my SE-40 manual is (510)887-8016. There is a Golden Tube discussion group on the net. I thi... | |
| paradigm studio 60's I've had a pair of studio 60's (version 1)for about a two years. I've been very happy with them. With a big solid state amp the bass is excellent. I switched to a smaller tube amp a year ago, and of course lost some of the low end. But they throw ... | |
| Red Dragon Tubes? I asked a similar question on the Golden Tube mailing list the other day. I was curious about golden dragon 6sn7 tubes. I had two responses, the first guy really liked golden dragon tubes. The second guy didn't like them. He said that golden drago... | |

| Intro to Tube Amplifiers You might consider Golden Tube amps. They make a few different models with different ratings. I've been using an SE-40 for over a year now, and I love it. Even though it's power rating is 40 watts it would be worth listening to. You can pick them ... | |
