Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES
Thanks Wig. I have my modwright on repeat. 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Thanks. Innovation table can only take 3 ultras. 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Glaucon,I tried it both ways -- actually bought the inserts to match threads on Sony 5400 and CJ amp. First screwed in (with a gap between bottom of Stillpoint and bottom of Sony) with tophat facing down sitting on Symposium shelf. Then reversed t... 
Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES
Just swapped the Create Audio rectifier tube for my Mullard. Can't say I am super impressed. Will let it burn in for a while and see if it changes. Right now I would characterized it as:- no more resolving than the Mullard- introduces an upper mid... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Glaucon is smart. In a similar vein, I put four aluminum ultras under my Modwright 5400es, but then added a 5th ultra SS under the transport area....it added to the goodness...more solid imaging with more palpable bass all the way around. Best to ... 
Good speakers under 10K.
if you have the space, and the upstream components up to task, i highly recommend the Magnepan 3.7s. I would have to spend 3-5x the price to get something better. Paired with a Velodyne or JL sub, you have full range goodness. A wall of sound. I o... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Just as big an improvement with Aluminum Ultras underneath my Modwright 5400es sacd/cd player. Better space, lower noise floor, better articulation of each note especially bass. More holographic. Same effect as Ultra SS had on Clearaudio Innovatio... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
I just inserted Stillpoint Ultras into my system. Amazing effect right away, and not one that I expected....stage depth and holography increased by a factor of 2-3, stage width also improved although not as drastically as depth in front of and beh... 
looking to audition Running Springs P C--
2nd vote for Audience. Increased dynamics, better texture to music. I have standardized on their power cords and the AR12-TSS conditioner. Love them in my system. 
Best tubed full-function preamp with remote
Atma-Sphere is bullet proof as well. Havent heard phono section but i know some audiophiles who bought their preamp just for the phono section. 
Best tubed full-function preamp with remote
Love my VAC preamp. Compared in my home to product of year preamps costing 2-3x, the VAC wins 100 percent of the time. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I auditioned the new Decware amp a few months ago. Amazing build and sound quality, with a lot of useful features. Music floated in space, and there was great drive and dynamics. I think if Decware sold through dealers it would cost at least 2-3x ... 
Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100?
Cables must have not been a good match...don't get me wrong...the sound wasn't bad (I ended up buying the speakers!)...just not as organic sounding as they are in my system.... 
Fast power cables?
I don't think Amuseb owes anybody an apology as he was using the term "redneck" properly (Wikipedia..."the term has expanded its meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways"). The term has no connection to Nat...
