| Review: Aric Audio Super 6SN7 preamp Congrats on your purchase. I am a owner of the Special pre and Transcend amplifier. Also have a Pass XA-25 to rotate in. | |
| Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist? Check out Aric Audio. Also threads regarding same here on AG. He produces tube pres at different price points. Will customise to your needs. | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Congrats on your purchase of a XA-25. I own one also, driven by an Aric Audio tube preamp. | |
| Ethernet cable for Streaming Well, I decided to install the Monoprice CAT8 50' cable. Seems to be well constructed, having Al foil shield around each of the 4 wire pairs and a braided shield around these. Quality terminations. If any issues arise I will go the WiFi extender r... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Congrats on your purchase and happy you are so please with the results. | |
| Ethernet cable for Streaming Thanks to all for the help. I am now considering two options, direct longer cable from router to streamer, or use of a WIfi extender with shorter cable. Either way I am now considering using a Supra CAT8 cable. More expensive but with better shiel... | |
| Spendor A1 vs Tannoy Autograph Mini's That Luxman amplifier was the one I heard with the Mini's. Not sure that 2wpc will serve the Mini's. I believe they run about 88dB sensitive. | |

| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening +1 holmz. The pathos integrated is a great, very smooth sounding amplifier and likely has the required power for the OP's circumstance. I think of the options offered the use of a simple tone control (such as the Loki or the Lokius) is the best op... | |

I would put my money into improving from the source.Does the Panasonic have digital output? If so it could be used as a transport into a DAC. I would replace the receiver with an in... | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? I also run a class A amp (Pass XA25) with a tube preamp. I have a dedicated room and music listening is a session. When I anticipate a session coming on I turn on the amp. It can cook throughout the day if needed. When time for the session I turn ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? You do have a very nice Analog rig. I was always a pro analog guy till 2011 when I went digital. My only thought is that you might try a r2r DAC with a tube output stage. You could use your 6005 as a transport. Possible upgrade the transport later... | |

| Budget System Advice still partying like it's 1999 Yea, get to know your system in the 'new' room for a while. Then upgrade starting with your music source and streamer. |
