| OCD mickey website and negativity. I am not a fan anymore. I enjoyed the channel for a time as an entertaining distraction. The more I watched his frequent live shows I quite honestly was put off by his dismissive and know it all attitude. He was especially critical in a very ugly... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Good news! I hope this completely solves the problem. | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? REL Carbon Special. I was dead set against adding a sub. I felt that the DeVore 096’s would not benefit from the addition of a sub. I was dead wrong. It’s set very conservatively but what an improvement. Absolutely fantastic! | |
| Western Electric 300B problem @SNS Sorry to hear of your bad luck and you have my sympathy. I’m sure most people on this forum have experienced this kind of frustration and disappointment and it’s not fun at all. I have 4 WE 300B’s that I bought from Upscale. They have bee... | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks You’ll love it, I love mine and it’s been trouble free since 2020 when I bought it. The sense app is great! | |
| Streamer recommendations The dCS Bartok is absolutely fantastic! I’ve had Maine for 4 years and got the Apex upgrade last year. As both a DAC and streamer it’s ideal. | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit The answer is simple; Backert labs. I’ve owned both SS and tube preamps and never anything remotely like my Backert pre. The two 12AU7 tubes will last a lifetime. The pristine nature of the sound will blow your mind. I own the Rhythmn and it never... | |

| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions Backert Labs, it’s been the preamp of my dreams! The love affair continues. It’s quiet, detailed and though neutral, there is real magic in how it has made my 300B’s sound with O96’s. You can’t beat it! | |
| Need new pre amp Backert Labs. Two balanced ins and one out. Completely neutral but so so accurate! They use (2) 12AU 7’s! | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks +1 Backert Rhumba Extreme or Rhythm. All of the Backert preamps are sensational. The sound is neutral but absolutely magical. I have the Rhythm (flagship model) and I use 300B mono blocks or a Pass Labs XA 30.8. In either case the Backert preamp ... | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp Backert represents a value and sound way above its price point. I’ve never been happier with a hifi component. It’s a lifetime preamp and I recommend it fervently! | |
| Power Sensitive Components This is an interesting discussion. Near Boston where I live and during the heat wave last week , I noticed two things; a duller less articulate sound and the voltage/bias meters on my 300B mono locks had gone from the constant a reliable reading o... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION I can seriously recommend Backert Lab’s preamps. Their preamp brought my 300B based system to new heights and it mates well with my solid state Pass XA 30.8. Backert Labs picks up the phone anytime and Andy Tebbe will answer all questions. Great ... |
