| VTL Pre tube roll…or suggestions on 12AU7s You`ll probably void the warranty using any tube other than what the manufacture recommends. If you`re not satisfied with the sound you have, it`s either you swipe the tubes or get another preamp. I think it is rare that any mishap will occur usin... | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp Hey, there are some here who cannot appreciate the helpful suggestions given, and should stay out of this thread. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? Amps, Preamps, and Speakers. The most reliable. CD players the least. Spoke with a Hi End repair tech, he told me CD players have the highest failure rates vs Tape Decks and Turntables. | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp Check out what Naim offers. I think it may be the Uniti line. | |
| 3 tone control integrated amp/preamp gkelly +1 A 3-tone control integrated amp/preamp is nonexistent. Can`t do better than a Loki, or an equalizer, anyway. | |
| Upgrading a Rega Saturn-R For the price you pay, the Saturn-R CDP will be hard to beat. You may be better off using it as a transport, with an outboard DAC. Or, if the laser is going out, buy a Transport and one of the great modern DACs available. | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? For me, it would be the Jolida JD 1501P ( @ $700-$800). Hybrid design, roll tubes to my liking. Great w/ solid state preamp. $4000, $8000? - must not be many amplifiers made. | |
| Acurus A150 If your music sounds bright, I'd team that amp with a tubed preamp. | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST I suggest you go a different route, along with freediver`s suggestion. Replace your preamp with the Rogue RH-5 headphone/preamp. Go the headphone route. The Rogue does this, while maintaining the tube pre part, on your main system. I have found ... | |
| Blue Jean cable problem Call Blue Jean cable. They should help. | |
| Leaving tube amps on. Don Sachs had addressed this subject, some time ago. If I remember correctly, he had suggested that it is good to turn the tube gear off, when not listening. | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? I think, with your budget, you can get a very good DAC, try the Musetec DA-005. | |
