| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @liamowen Ya this engineer in our audio discord Sonic Visions loves Conrad Johnson. Says their designs are incredible.@JG2077 seems like the black path is the CAT to get. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) I had a chat with underwood hifi and he is really impressed with the vacuum HE1 (he is a dealer so obviously there is bias).

| Near field monitor advice please Thanks guys settled on atc scm7s so far loving them! | |
| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? @insoc Sounds awesome. Going to get the 7s for a desktop nearfield setup. I was curious about the 11s and 19s but based on all my research the 7s will probably be more ideal nearfield. | |
| Nearfield passive speaker recommendations please (ATC SCM11 vs KEF LS50 meta) Oranfoster I'm debating between the 7, 11 or 19. Its such a hard choice.
