| Does a Tube Dac make sense? There is no more reason to discount a DAC having a tube output stage than a tube pre or a tube amp. In some regards less so. DACs often have fewer tubes than preamps, tubes are of lower output and less costly than preamps or amps. They are often u... | |
| Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept). I am thinking you will like the Luxman/Harbeth combo. | |

| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier Not giving up on the XA25...with a little help from my friends. | |

| Connect cable modem/router to different circuit than audio? Makes perfect sense to me. | |
| Speaker purchase question Yes, The seller should have been more specific about what was being offered. And yes the op should have asked the question. The op did right by dropping thoughts regarding negative feedback and moved on. Lessons learned here. | |

| Need some advice, Vincent Audio I once owned the Vincent SV-226. I called it the little brother to the SV-236, which became the SV-237. I thought the 226 to be a great product, providing transparency with bloom around the notes, dynamics, and a great soundstage. Original MSRP w... | |
| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier @jjss49 Thanks for your thoughts. I am beginning to regret the sale of the BEL. That amp and my preamp were a great match and mated with both pairs of my speakers well. I was seriously hoping the Pass XA25 would serve me the same. As I stated abo... |
