| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Nothing wrong with building a system around a particular amp, especially if there is a specific tube you like the sound of. Low powered tube amps have limitations, as has been stated above, with speaker choices. More often than not, they require b... | |
| 12au7 tube? Call Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Doesn’t matter what tube you decide on if you can’t trust that it is working as it’s supposed to. If you buy from Andy, it will be as it should. | |
| Preamp with separate volume control for each channel? Um, it would seem like your amp was not repaired? It should be working properly. I don’t understand why people are suggesting solutions to remedy a problem that any half decent tech should be able to fix? Send it back, and have them fix it pro... | |

| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear Only vintage gear I am really interested in, is tube gear. And mainly for the iron. I have a pair of Heathkit UA-1’s I’m about to do a ground up rebuild of. Also have iron from a Sony TC500A I will be using to build a type 45 amp with. There a... | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? I built an EL84 Single Ended amp. The donor amp camp with some JJ’s. Amp was very much missing something with the JJ’s. Ordered a pair of The Tube Store preferred series 7189’s. The amp changed completely in its sonic presentation. It now soun... | |

| You're not a true audiophile unless... If you are on this site, and participate in discussions about gear in order to improve your listening experience, you are an audiophile. People change the meaning of words to suit their own purposes, which is hilarious, because words have specifi... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC Yeah Watched the video. Not that I was ever going to buy Dcs gear anyway, but certainly would never consider it now. Reviews are opinion pieces. Unless, as Dcs claims, there were factual misrepresentations of the product, they did not disclos... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @cleeds You should know better by now - never bother asking @jasonbourne to back up any of his ridiculous comments :) | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I am currently listening to some Fostex Fe126En drivers (purchased used for 100…) in DIY Olson/Nagoaka Manifold Horns, being driven by a Heathkit SA-3 SE EL84 amp, cost me 200, which I stripped down and did a ground up rebuild in a DIY chassis. A ... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread I am on my 3rd quad of EL34PH tubes being run in my Cary SLI-50. Fantastic sounding tube. While having a different presentation than the Winged-C’s, they are very similar from a qualitative standpoint. The Winged-C’s have been some of the best so... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range @katzenjammer27 Off topic with this discussion, but how did you fix the ground loop issue? I built an SP14 and am having ground issues. 13 pages of discussion on DIYAudio, and still the hum persists… Thanks! | |
| Watts! How many do we need? I would be curious to know what actual volume you are listening at? A crude app for your phone will tell you peaks at your listening position, and if you are feeling inquisitive, you can measure at 1m from the speakers. 1 watt at 1m will give ... |
