| Affordable cables DIY cables always look good on paper. I even got sucked into it for a while myself. One audio bud devoted decades- not years, decades- building every idea and material, tearing down and copying, reverse-engineering, you name it. After all that his... | |
| Monster speaker cables 2.2s People who think wire is system dependent have only heard inferior wire. Which admittedly is hard not to do, being as most of what's out there is inferior wire. You know its inferior when it sounds different in different systems. Same goes for mos... | |

Herron VTPH2A phono stage ran a very close second. My Teres Verus turntable motor drive uses two and they... | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Calling it "voiced" carries the unfortunate implication of looking for a particular characteristic sound.
