Can upgraded jumpers improve sound?
I used to use my NAD integrated amp with upgraded "preamp jumpers" that were custom made by Signal Cable. A significant improvement in sound which is noticeable. I could hear more details and the sound stage was much broader. Silver jumpers are be... 
Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2
Hi Tholt,I have not compared the Ref TVC with other preamps. The only preamp would be the NAD integrated's built-in preamp.Would love to hear your comparison with the Shindo. I am not a tube guy though. 
Dissapointed with my new speakers
I second Knownothing's suggestion of Quads 21L. Amazing speakers. For me, the bass is more than enough. And like Knownothing mentioned - the midrange and treble are top class. You will not be disappointed - for sure. 
Audio advancement - why?
Jylee, you are correct. That was my original question. I also wonder sometimes that maybe SS is better than tubes currently - but maybe are we held back by our own "habits" of listening, such that anything other than tube seems "less" in our world... 
Audio advancement - why?
Thanks you everyone for your informative posts.Frogman/Elizabeth, I get your point about music as art. But I guess I will have to do some reading before I digest the fact that human progress could not achieve in audio, what they achieved in other ... 
Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2
If you get a chance, give the Promitheus Reference or Signature a try. This TVC does not add any signature of it's own. I am pretty happy with mine. 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
I have got very good results with Signal Cable. Highly Recommended.

Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp
Ngjockey,The source in the case of Promitheus TVC does not seem critical. I get my moderate listening volume even if I use an iPod and the volume knobs set at position 10 of the available 24 positions. I believe it is the power amps's input sensit... 
Red Wine 30.2 Power amp
So Glory,How do you like the Red Wine amp? 
The Beatles albums finally all remastered
Agreed with Merganser. I was hoping for a SA-CD release. My 3 1/2 year old likes Beatle songs as much as I do. And I was hoping for a collection of "Beatles SA-CD". I see so many Vinyl releases for older music and I always wish they also release S...

Preamp Out-Amp In RCA Jumpers for Integrated
I have replaced my wire bar with a custom Signal Cable Silver Resolution RCA to get a very good upgrade on overall sound. Cost me $40. Highly recommended. 
Neighbor Complaining...
Keep those Quads at least 2 feet from back wall and 1.5 feet from side walls. More the better in your case. The Quads have solid bass for their size. 
Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp
Just now ordered the Promitheus Reference C-Core dual box with Elma switches. Have never heard one, but ordered it based on positive feedback/reviews from fellow audiogoners/asylum inmates/audiocircle pals. The estimated wait period in 3 weeks.Thi...
