| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Oil dampened cables. That may not be the correct technical term. I've seen them on eBay. | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes Your first impressions do not surprise me at all. Aric builds stellar gear. | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member I think FF opens up a whole other can of worms. Wouldn’t it? | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... I started with trying out a couple of low priced power cables from a Chinese manufacturer a few years back. I heard a difference. I slowly have replaced every PC I could. All of these were purchased used. I hear a difference with my ears. I would ... | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? “Everything matters”True that! | |
| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Sadly no. I’m still a slack jawed gawker. | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! ozzy,make sure you report back! I’m still smiling from my experiment with the 1260. | |
| Upgrade Time I really believe in purchasing lightly used gear. I have two systems that I have put together over the last few years, and almost all the gear was purchased used. With your budget,you can probably get a great amp and preamp going used. That is a v... | |
| Speaker set up and IRREGULAR rooms. It sounds like you’re going to have to start moving the speakers around a bit to find out where they sound best. Or take a sledgehammer and eliminate the problem now. ;) | |

These new generation of amps appear to be opening new doors. I would love to do a direct comparison against my First Watt amps. Any insight to h... | |
| Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage I have been using Aric’s preamps for years. I recently picked up a lightly used Motherlode II. Wow! Dead silent. Great build quality,and incredible sound. I feel it’s very safe to expect top notch gear from Aric. | |
| How long does Class A have? I don't expect everyone to agree with my opinions. I think that when there are people that not only expect people to agree with their opinions,but demand it,we have a HUGE problem. | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night I’ve had the Motherlode II in my main system for eleven days. Wow! This pairs so wonderfully with the First Watt F5. The texture,the layers,the soundstage, all incredible. I was looking for an endgame preamp,and I truly believe I’ve found it. Once... | |
| How long does Class A have? I like Class A amps, V8 engines in my cars,and big V twins on by bikes. Oh ya,save the whales! |
