| Tube upgrade for Unison Research unico I've used NOS Brimar 13D5 and CBS/Hytron 5814A and enjoyed the sound, but they're expensive and were not long lasting. I've found the reissue Tung-Sol 12AU7W/6189 tubes from Cryoset sound good, are affordable, and last a long time. | |

| Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC. Before switching to Audio Sensibility, I had used Morrow MA-3 IC's for a few years, but just decided to try something else. I read about the company on another thread on this site, checked out the website, and decided to give the Statement SE IC'... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC. If you enjoy your Harmonic Technology speaker cables, why not consider some HT interconnects?
