| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? To all: Thanks for your input / advice. I was thrilled to wake up to so much feedback on my question.Albert - You have instant credibility in my book and you have been quite helpful to me in the past when I've asked your advice. Your suggestion of... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... I've found the inexpensive new production / re-issue tubes to be very dissapointing (Mullard & Sovtek). As far as NOS 12AX7's go, Mullard CV4004's are more lively, but less neutral than the mega expensive Mullard 10M gold pins, however, I stil... | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? The tubes in my Audio Aero Capitol only lasted 2 years because I left it in standby 24/7. Jodi from AA distributor, Globe Audio, recommended I turn the unit off when not in use to extend the life of the tubes. | |
| b&k amps +dynaudio c2 speakers I drove C2's and now C4's with a 125WPC Plinius SA-102. You will be fine with your B&K monos. | |

| Blue Collar Cables? The great debate I agree with Riley804.... spot on. | |
| Review: Jade Audio Pure Solid Gold Interconnect I'd embarrass myself trying to write a legitimate review.... but I am a satisfied owner of two pairs of JD's hybrid interconnects. | |
| Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio Niravp... glad you are enjoying your new Calypso with your Dyns. If you have not already done so, I highly recommend you get some good 12AX7 NOS tubes. Mullard CV 4004's are a good choice and can be had for approx. $250 per pair. Same goes for NOS... | |

| How to treat room acoustics? Retail sources? another vote for GIK... give 'em a call. They were very helpful. | |
| Audio Aero Prima - not responding Jody @ Globe Audio has always been very helpful and responsive for me. I agree with Golden ears that he may be out of the office returning from a show, etcetera.... | |
| Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K The models listed in your post are all excellent choices. I'm a biased Dynaudio fan, but would be happy with any of the speakers you listed. | |
| House wiring for dedicated power to stereo Mmadden28... LOL, thanks for the chuckle! | |
