| Amp Choice. Thanks. I was considering doing that, and after reading about what you did I think I will do the same thing and try the S300 first. I'll let you know how it works out. | |
| Tube Rolling for Convergent Audio SL1 Preamps What brand of current production 12AU7 and 12AX7 are used now for CAT replacements? | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? All cables sound different. You have to do a lot of listening to different systems and cables to develop the ability to hear the differences. More expensive cables generally sound better and are made better.

| Greatest Rock Drummers As a drummer myself, it's hard to pick one as the best because of the different styles of drumming and music. The list is a good start. I would like to add Dave Weckl ( listen to the Convergence cd ) and Vinnie Colaiuto. These are Jazz drummers, a... | |
| Looking for SACD player............ I use an Oppo 105D. It has a separate DAC and separate RCA or Balanced outputs for dedicated stereo. Sounds great once broken in and with the right cables. |
