PS Audio BHK Signature preamplifier
Hello all, thanks for interesting posts :-)I have now auditioned the PS Audio BHK Signature for about a week, and I think it is an amazing good preamp. Actually, in my ears, and in my gear, it is the best preamp I have ever heard related to price!...

Thanks for advice :-)I have had a number of BATs (30, 31SE, 51SE, 52SE and now 53SE) and ARCs (Ref 3 and Ref 5) the last 10 years, and have preferred the BATs. My sources are balanced, so I would prefer to have that option for the preamp.Anyway, I...

Thanks :-)A top class preamp is always essential, that can really turn a medium gear to a top gear :-)

Exciting, thanks :-)Do you use the standard Psvane tubes or have you replaced them with even better ones? 
AZ Absolute; which is
To Sherod:See my answer to Ejlif. This means I don't know exactly how old the cables are, and if they are completely broken in....But I have not experienced any change the two last weeks (approx 60 hours playing in this period). 
AZ Absolute; which is
To AldavisYes, you might be right. I guess when the components become so transparent and have such a high resolution, matching is extremey important.Since I ecperience much of the same problem on both CD and vinyl, I don't think there is any obvio... 
AZ Absolute; which is
To EjlifI have bought all the cables 2nd hand. But, some of them were not used for a very long time, so I have experienced a change. I don't think this little "edge" on femal vocals was there in the beginning........I have talked with AZ regarding... 
AZ Absolute; which is
To MrtennisYes, this is really a matter of subjectivity :-)"Too much" resolution and focus......., yes maybe. My tube gear is very neutral, and many people think BAT gear sound "too less" tube!As I said, I'll replace my Absolute speaker cables wit... 
Power amp s for Avantgarde Duos?
Larryi, a comment about your opinion with respect to the bass. Having been an owner of the Duos for almost 5 years, I agree with you. But, three years I had the opportunity to compare the standard subwoofers with subs upgraded with other electroly...

Thanks a lot all of you.I have ended up with Star Chief 45 monos (2 Watt) from Welborne Labs, far more powerful than I expected. And the EML tubes lifted them to another level than what the TJ mesh plates could.So far they play together with my BA... 
Welborne Labs Star Chief 45
Thanks :-)I guess I'll have to buy them too :-)Have you heard/used both the EML solid plates and the mesh plates?If so, can you give a short description of your impression?TIA 
Welborne Labs Star Chief 45
Hi againI Have now played some days on the Star Chief with EML 45 Mesh Plates. I guess they have 30 - 40 hours now. And they blow away the NOS I tried, and the TJ MEsh Plates.The immediate observation is that they seems to be more powerful, but in... 
Welborne Labs Star Chief 45
Yes, thick is exactly the word! :-)I have played on the 45's for some time now, and I enjoy them more and more.I'll test out the Ultrapath preamp this week. A design being a strong contrast to the complex design of the BAT!

BTW, have anyone tried the Audio Note Kits, refhttp://www.audionotekits.com/monob01.htmlI especially wonder about the Signature levels (3399 USD and 5549 USD).
