Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers
Have you tried them a little closer together and firing straight ahead? 
What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design??
Not heard it but removing the first stage input amplifier does a number of things. It takes out an extra stage of electronics with the idea that simpler is purer. Less crap in the path. You might want to check the input impedence matches the sourc... 
Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6
Almost 2 years on with 2 x quad sets of Tung Sol 7581A in four monoblocs and they still sound superb. They've held the initial bias settings which indicates good stability and look great.

Raul. We know all this. We accept the experiment as it is. Let’s call it a fun and slightly illogical and maybe flawed hueristic methodology. We trust that Halcro has selected the best combination of arm/table to enable each cartridge to perform a...

garrard vs clearaudio innovation
Moving one of my 401s to a concrete block "rack" on a concrete floor wrought a substantial improvement over a metal one.

Interesting that you brought up the ’powering through the stylus drag’ aspect of the DD. It’s both the very reason I run idlers and why I think you’re not hearing the best the LDR has to offer. (!) Speaking of 40 years. One of my Deccas is 35 year...
