| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? I've run a tube preamp with solid state amps for 15 years. I have to have tubes somewhere in my system. | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age I'd go with smaller main speakers.I'd have at least 4 subwoofers, maybe 6. I'd go with Class D amps. I'd own no vinyl or cd's....streaming only.I'd keep my tube preamp.I'd spend more money on a DAC.I'd own a 10 inch reel-to-reel just for show...... | |

| My list of seller red flags I hate it when the seller posts a stock photo of the item...and no photo of the actual item. That is just ridiculous. | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? It happened when I added an Audio Research LS10 preamp to my system. The result was an immediate effect of shock and awe. It has only gotten better over the years as I've moved up the chain of Audio Research preamps. | |

| Banana Plugs too narrow I've been away from the 'Gon for about a year and a half.You guys are still as witty and hilarious as you were when I left.LOL!It's good to be back. | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! With the sheer size of these speakers, very few people have the room to accommodate them. I’d hate to see them crammed into a room that’s too small to maximize their potential.....but they’ll fit nicely in my room though.;-) | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Friends and guests ask me what my rig costs all the time. I've never told anyone what my stuff costs. Anyone that knows audio already knows or have a pretty good idea what it costs, and won't be taken aback.Anyone who doesn't know audio wouldn't... |
