| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value Building a Tubes4HiFi SP14 preamp as I write this. Supposed to be great value and punch above its weight. Building a custom chassis for it. Will hopefully be done in the next month or so. | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Every day! My Magnum Dynalab Etude gets a lot of use. Amazing sounding tuner. Had it since new. | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp Here’s a bit of a change in direction from what people are suggesting. I would consider an Adcom GFA-545 power amp. Inexpensive to buy. Well designed circuit. Big power supply. I picked one up so I could have a higher power amp on hand... | |
| Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly Sorry you had this happen. I’m trying to understand what you did wrong? The Mani is a phono stage, and you connected it to the phono input of your preamp? | |
| I Cried Today Lovely. Thank you for sharing that. Goosebumps and watery eyes… | |
| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot Since the hum appears after the tubes warm up, and not immediately, it sounds like a tube issue to me. Is the problem in both channels, or just one? And just to confirm, the sound is coming from the speakers, and not from the amp. Is that right? | |
| New pre-amplifier? Why, would a manufacturer risk their reputation in this day and age, when anything even remotely underhanded is reported all over the internet? Perhaps, you should go to the factory, and watch them build the unit and package it up for you? Compa... | |

| Do you think driver “break in” is real? Put on a new pair of jeans, or shoes. not so comfortable. After a couple of days of use, they get better. Break in is very real. As an avid DIY builder of audio gear, it’s obvious to me how much benefit a driver will have from break in o... | |

| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Looks like the lion is nothing more than a little pussy cat. Where is the lion hiding? | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? Don’t underestimate a DIY amp, properly designed and built. Especially Bottlehead. Not paying for the distribution network, a fancy box, or the labor to assemble it. | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Listen to as many types of speakers and amps as possible. Horn loaded, open baffle, sealed, ported, electrostatics, multi driver, single driver, high efficiency. Single ended tubes, push pull tubes, high power, low power, Class A solid state, cl... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Let me start by saying this is an absolutely idiotic premise for discussion. Now, I’m going to listen to either my Cornwalls, or ESL57’s, and get some popcorn as I watch this unfold… | |
