| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? I went back and forth experimenting with tubes in a little Japanese 300b integrated amp in this case the small 12v tubes definitely made a bigger sonic impact on the sound. There was a very big gain in the bass region | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @atmasphere Thanks. that definitely makes more sense as to how they got those numbers. Good old marketing department hard at work again | |

| A little gift for my fellow audiophiles Thanks for the link. Will definitely check it out. Happy holiday season to you | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Triode Wire Labs was my first power cord to offer an improvement in sound quality | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Another + for the LTA . I’d try and stick to the used market if you’re okay with that. | |
| New Pass Labs Go To I didn’t know they were closing. Reno Will definitely be missed. Thanks for the great service you provided me many years ago and the cool car calendar you sent out afterwards. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? If it were me in your situation, I know I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t buy the Daw’s. Especially if it’s a great deal. I would also be looking into room treatment to get the most of them | |

I think that the device is intriguing and maybe it does exactly what you say it does. I’m still weary of using a dev... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated @recklesskelly every single one of those hybrid units you’ve mentioned has a compromise in functionality (except maybe the McIntosh) compared to my Audio Research/Pass Labs combo. Whether it be limited balanced inputs, no balanced ht bypass , no w... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated @recklesskelly There are definitely options out there. Unison has a nice range of hybrid units at a decent price that sound really good. Now in my situation I also “need” 2 balanced inputs (I could get by with one using an external switch) so now ... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated For us that are fans of tube pre with ss amps (not class D) there aren’t a whole lot of options out there in the integrated world. Once you decide that a particular pre tube is the sound you’re looking for your options become even less. Definitely... | |
