Chasing down the problem
Have you tried pushing up from up under the RCA connector at the input of the amp or output of the preamp? I had this problem long ago on a BAT amp. I had to keep constant upward pressure on the RCA which meant I had to place a wood block under th... 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
This definitely sheds some light on problems I've had with this new room. Once a few cables were moved and sound deteriorated I thought if I moved speakers and in turn moving speaker wire closer to front wall bass would come back but that wasnt th...

Audiozen with all respect you can't be more wrong. System sounded great for 3 weeks without tampering with it. Within the 2 minutes it took to flip cables around dynamics were reduced highs were still there but refined sparkle was gone. Preamp is ...

Audiozen with the problems setting up this system and adding panels was tricky I did finally correct the sound. Bass was full and highs detailed and airy. I decided to add silver interconnect between tube pre and amp, change to copper between phon...

Audiozen I just moved to a new house main system went in a big room and set up was easy and have been very pleased. This system has gone in 12x12x9 room, I've never had a room this small so it has been a challenge. I did add GIK panels. 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
I just moved this system in a new room couple months ago and have also been moving speakers around a lot over this 2 month period. I could not figure out why things would not sound right. I know the speaker cables are moving because crossover is e...

I'm glad to hear some people tend to experience this problem, I  believe and respect others do not hear it. The issue is I know personally I experience total loss of bloom, bass, spl or energizing of the room or what ever you would like to call it... 
BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.
Just back from holidays, I'm going to contact mouser again and see if the have my values, other company wanted me to buy 100's at a time, I'm just curios if Wima can compete for other projects against boutique caps, sure would save me a lot of money.

Talked to mouser few days ago only cap they have 6.8 which is for bass driver and mid driver in 2.5 crossover. Tweeter caps for me are 8.2 and 4.7 and 1.5 for rear firing tweeter. Maybe I'll replace 6.8 for the hell of it just to see only cost a f...

I may try. You sparked my interest, I found a supplier, he's emailing me availability on mkp 10, there hard to find in USA. Only from what I googled wima may be tipped up/ cleaner from Alumen z. I find the z more on the warm side of the CRM. This ...

Breaking in a cap is not really on my fun list. I have alumen z/CMR in crossover, you prefer the cheap Wilma? Looked them up they are pretty cheap. How long was break in? Sometimes the new sonics can become wrong after newness wears off.  
Amplifier Hum - Only Amp Connected
Been through this one myself. I agree with cheater plug to start off or break ground pin off a cheap stock power cord. Have you swapped power tubes left to right since you said it's louder in one speaker, or maybe a rectifier tube. Electrolytic ca... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless?
15 or so years ago I sold my Preamp and bought a BAT VK5i SE it came with new production RCA 6922's and couldn't enjoy the preamp. The amp took 8 6922's. I knew it was the tubes so I bought 8 bugle boys it was better but the music didn't grab me. ...
