| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade How about a PrimaLuna 400 with KT-88 tubes? | |

| New KEF KC62 Not Responding? I'll assume the volume on the sub is not set at zero. Switch to manual with just the left channel RCAs to the sub. If that doesn't work, it might be DOA? | |

| Bookshelf speakers with a tube amp? I’ve been real happy with Bluesound Node DAC Budget a preamp for your future upgrade and loudspeakers. Keep the Rocket88. | |
| Bookshelf speakers with a tube amp? Run the Rocket 88, I prefer to run in UL mode, especially if you are short on power. Try the 4 ohm setting. What preamp are you using? | |
