| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 I have the original Zesto Leto and it sounds great. I sent it to Zesto earlier this year for the ESP power supply that the new ones use. Their service and support is first class. Great gear. It is the quietest preamp I have ever owned. Absolu... | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions The few times I connected a DAC direct to an amp it was definitely not a good match on my system. I immediately put a pre back in. Then last year I bought a really good preamp and it brought my system to the next level. Amazing upgrade to my e... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? I am a fan of the low power / high efficiency pairing. I also feel that most higher efficiency speakers sound like live music and can be more dynamic. I think they often sound better at lower volumes. Just went from a pair of 40 watt Push Pul... | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch If you can demo separates in home that is a huge plus.... About 10 years ago I demo'd a preamp in stor e but in a $50k system (it was a $3000 pre) . It sounded so good in that set up that I was fairly confident it was a good bang for the buck pe... | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch Stretch the budget a little and spend on the preamp. It is a crucial component. The amp is too, of course but a bad system match where the preamp is the weak point can make the rest of your system sound , dull, bright, recessed, too forward........ | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Yeah me too.... I went from tubes to SS and then back to tubes shortly after that. Just got a 300b SET and there is no going back for me thanks | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? Not to high jack, but does anyone know if Lumin devices can access my Vault 2i music library through the network? I am trying to narrow down my next streamer . | |

| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp The WE is an integrated, the Toolshed is a power amp....sure, it has volume trim and 2 inputs so it can be either.... I think it is best served with a great preamp driving it though | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp This thread is about the Toolshed 300b. Not vapor ware....Has anyone even seen the WE91e in person ? Anyone here own one ? Please chime in if you do. They have been promising this amp for a long time and it's still "coming soon" Either way, ... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Synergy has a lot to do with good sound, the Zesto / Toolshed pairing is such a great match. When I got the Zesto , it revealed how good those Quicksilvers are. As great as those Mid Monos have been,, the Toolshed 300b is in a completely di... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp I read about it somewhere and learned that Fidelis in Nashua NH was the distributor. I had a few days off at the beginning of June and gave them a call. I asked if they took different category trades and they said sure come on up. So I packed... | |

I try to always get Left / Right matched tubes whenever possible to ensure or hopefully ensure perfect channel balance With tubes like 6922 I also try to get matched triodes I just picked up a tube tester , mostly to prevent any bad tubes gett... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Thank you larsman ! Several times I have thought to myself “amazing clarity”. I actually bought a second pair because I was afraid they might change the recipe or they would become unobtainium |
