| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? I agree. Many digital components have too much gain for many systems. Many amps are designed to be very sensitive, having too much gain. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Congrats on your purchase. You got me thinking about talking to Aric about upgrading my Special (precursor to the Transcend). Mine is about 3 1/2 years old. Thinking about the resistor gain approach. | |
| An ideal (minimal) 2.1 setup OK, your focus is music and you seem not interested in the deepest bass for movies. I get it I used my system the same way. Stand mount monitors, no center channel or subs. Wonderful holography with both movies and music. If I had a sub I would n... | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? At your price point you might also want to check out Aric Audio. | |

| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) I also have the Pass XA25 driven by a 6SN7 tube preamp (Aric Audio). As I believe one responder stated, the XA25 leans more to the neutral side than other Nelson Pass products, highly transparent. I would look towards a speaker that leaned toward ... | |
| New edition of Harley's guide on the way I must agree with MC on this. Great book! I own the 4th edition. Maybe the 6th should be my next upgrade purchase. | |
| 30 year old player, worth an upgrade? If the Marantz is in good shape and you know the seller I would purchase it and save the $$. | |
