| Tri-wire cables? I have made multiple pair from various cables for my Alon speakers, which have tri-wire binding posts. I am currently using DH Labs with two single T-14's for mid and high frequencies, and one Q-10 for low frequencies to each speaker. I have some ... | |

| Help me deceide on pre-amp please C123666, I used to think the tube cost was bad, but after researching and playing with the SF preamps, I found only two of the tubes made most of the difference compared to stock tubes. For example, the SF Line 2 and Line 1 only take 6 tubes each,... | |

| Parts Connexion upgrades to Sonic Frontiers preamp I have never heard the stock Line 2 or Line 3, although I own both the Line 2 SE and Line 3 SE (both factory SE models). I am currently selling the Line 2 SE since I had a good opportunity to upgrade to the Line 3 SE, which offers slightly better ... | |
| How good is the Aragon 8008mk.2 amp? My experience is based on the 4004MkII, which I owned for a couple of years. In my system, I can easily hear differences in the amps I have owned. The 4004MKII was a bargin as discussed by others above. You could tell it was a sort of mid-fi SS am... | |

| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers In your price range you may want to consider B&W M803 Series II, or M802 Series III, and put them on sound anchor stands. You did not mention what music you listen to or your associated equipment, but my experience is these two are generally g... | |
| Help with Caps if you can I don't know what the original caps were, or the values, but the Special Edition upgrade offered by SF used MultiCap RTX polystyrene capacitors, and the SE plus upgrade currently offered through Partsconnexion uses Audio Note Silver Foil capacitor... | |
| NAD 3140 - I know nothing Gonglee, maybe a misunderstanding on my part of what you were saying. It sounds like we are saying the same thing. The bridging button is for running one speaker per amp, but you need a matching amp to do it. NAD actually made a power only amp to ... | |
| NAD 3140 - I know nothing Wetagogo, The post from above, "You should release the Bridging button when using with 2 speakers." is not correct. The bridging button is for bridging two amplifiers. In that case, you reset the jumpers with patch cords to the second amp, and run... | |
| Good/great preamp with ht pass through? Thoughts? Muse Model 3 Signature, also includes adjustable gain for each input, balanced and single ended ins and outs. | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? I disagree this thread should be closed. These forums include constant harping on how the audio magazines only provide positive reviews because of advertisor money, and how the cost of audio equipment has gotten out of control. We also read advert... | |
| Specs to look for when matching tube pre to SS amp I believe one "rule of thumb" is the input impedance of the amp should be at least 10x the output impedance of the preamp. My McCormack DNA 500 is one of those SS amps with input impedance of only 10K ohms, and it works fine with the SF Line serie... |
