| How to build your own tube amplifier? For starters, you should read up on Bruce Rozenblit's book "Beginner's guide to tube audio." Following instructions without fully understanding can be deadly and clueless. Not recommended without any prior knowledge as high voltage can kill you. | |

| Copper vs. Silver interconnects Try NBS and XLO lines. They have superb copper cables. | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I'm using the ATC SCM10s for the past 5 years and love them. I have yet to find a bookshelf this size that can match ATC's performance. | |
