| Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment listen to them for a few weeks and switch back (if you still have them) and see how you feel. The better qualities of new cable can sneak up on you sometimes... | |
| Best tubes under $100? for Fisher integrated I may be wrong but I think a single BB could cost $100...JJ Electronics has reasonably priced tubes that perform well for the moneysearch the archives for tube sources | |
| Help mismatch maybe? I think changing wire can help a great deal. You can certainly tame a harsh top end with good wire and warm up the bass too.FWIW componet matching is nearly everything in this hobby,of course speaker placement and room treatment is critical toohav... | |
