?Morrow or ZenWave Power and interconnects? Cable is dependent on system and personal taste.You had better contact Dave of Zenwave for home audition of D4 IC cable and power cables.I think IC will make more difference than power cables. | |
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set I recommend you to try tube amplifier with Zu Dws rather than changing speaker.Rogue Crouns Magmun II(used) is a good starting point if you play loud or your listening room is big.If you don’t play loud, you can try 300B SET amp. https://www.audio... | |

What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? My golden ratio is3 for speakers1 for amplifiers (int or pre power combo)1 for front end(digital player, or turntable)1 for cables(IC, speakers and power) and power conditioner.Thomas | |
2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? @ alexberger I also have Sophia carbon plate and Shuguang Treasure 300B.NOS WE 300B is best with overall sound quality and reliability.I had run more than 10K hours during last 15 years.But it still sounds fine.The problem is it is hard to get goo... | |

Can you notice the difference of Power cables from Youtube video? @ millercarbon I had been happy with Synergistic Blue cable that I got 5 months ago.But I am open minded.If there is any major change of components, I may want to compare between different PC cables. | |
