Thoughts on adding a McIntosh C12000 preamp to my AVM90 Home Theater Processor....
Night and day with movies using the Mac and new SF.    And now 2 channel performance is in another league   
Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?
You need some new friends.....  
Thoughts on adding a McIntosh C12000 preamp to my AVM90 Home Theater Processor....
My Dad just did something similar. He had an Anthem AV receiver and 5 Sonus Faber speakers. Out of the blue he said " I always wanted a McIntosh" I said "Do it ! " He picked up a new McIntosh MA8950. I set it up with the Passthrough that I am as... 
Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp
I first plugged the A6 to an Anthem mix 510 via analog and thought it sounded real good.   Today's digital gear ain't too shabby.   I just picked up a Cyrus i7-XR  Integrated Amp and I love that little amp.  It has a built in DAC and coincidental... 
Robbie Robertson has passed away :-(
Listening to Robbie Robertson's self titled solo circa 87 right now.  Has always been one of my favorite LPs  
Tube measurement question...
I believe that spec is idle current draw when biased to spec.   IP on the tube box is the current draw.  Gm is the transconductance of the tube  The Psvane's higher plate current probably explains what difference you are hearing  Matched pairs o... 
Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp
My Dad has one connected digitally via USB to his Mac 8950 and it sounds great with the Mac DAC 2 card doing all the heavy lifting.  Yours is all analog so I am surprised to hear you say it sounds better with no preamp.   Maybe time  for new tube... 
Anybody heard of Falcon Acoustics?
That is weird because a year or so ago they had a pair in their showroom.   Maybe a consignment?     
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
Contact Aurender and ask them how to get the beta version.   I believe they enabled remotely for me through the N200’s Ethernet     I also saw a link on their site to enrol for beta.    
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
If you go into the Aurender menu below "software update" it will say Beta.  Enable Beta and you should see it's icon next to Tidal / Qobuz at the top on the tool bar Click on the icon to browse stations   
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
Aurender has a Beta version now of V Tuner and it is really good.   Also can't skip as it is a broadcast stream but I listen to some great stations all across the country.   
Driver Tubes 6922
I agree with jss...   in my Mid Monos a 6922 that may not be really quiet in a Preamp will work fine in the driver pos.    I use JJ in there now and I think its the input tube that make the most difference in these.    I have some early 60's RCA...

Absolutely sound is paramount.      
Tube suggestion for Quicksilver Mid Mono Blocks
I used my Mid Monos for a while with a Zesto Leto preamp....   that preamp really demonstrated how good those little 40 watt amps are.      In my experience the preamp is the most important component in the chain.  Get it wrong and the whole syst...
