| The Latest and Greatest in Digital Coax Cables I suppose, at some price point, someone has manufactured a better AES/EBU cable than the Kimber Orchid. Hard for me to imagine though. | |
| Speaker Cables YEP- That's what's lacking: A good amp! | |
| Which NOS tubes on my ASL 1009 for more warmth? The latest iteration Winged 'C' EL34's and some NOS 12AU7 Mullards should provide all the warmth you'll ever need.

| Preamp inverts phase question: Wouldn't an "Industry Standard" be nice? =8^) | |

| Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away Samhar- You must seek the same gratification as I, supporting those poor tube dealers, even buying the same tubes. Be certain the CCa's you purchase are pre-'68. Happy listening!! =8^) | |
| Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away Samhar- YES, BUT: You're just imaging the improvement. You know: The (ubiquitous/inevitable/worthless) 'Placebo-Babble', er... I mean, 'Placebo-Effect'. KUDOS on your experimentation. Don't give up the Quest. | |
| Peavey or Behringer? They're cheap, and regarding sound quality: You get what you pay for. I'll only install either for the sound reinforcement customers(tightwads) that require the least expensive components possible. I'd never recommend them for home audio, but, "di... | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS I've got Aeon polypropylene coupling caps in my mains now which will do for the time being. I'm focusing mainly on power supply upgrades for the woofer and main amps right now. Overall system dynamics and speed are what I'm after. | |

| Newbie Power Cord Question The PS Audio Xstream Plus SC is made of single crystal(continuous cast) copper, and won't break the bank at about $150.00 used. You have to be fast when you see one come up for sale though(they sell fast- there MUST be a reason). (http://www.psaud... | |
| The future of Tubes Low demand is a factor(so many now are willing to settle for the mediocre), but the desire/motivation to produce a quality product is another. Anything of quality is going to cost you through the nose nowdays, and few take the time or make the eff... | |
| Good Performance/ Value Oriented Balanced IC's Glenn makes an excellent point. The Silver Streak is a very transparent cable. What you heard was a brightness elsewhere in your system. Now you are hunting for an interconnect that will deaden your highs(act as a tone control). Find some used Aud... |
