| Using a tube amp with a Solid State preamp I know of one person who does this successfully. Bill Thalmann at Music Technology uses a Conrad Johnson Motif MC-10 solid state preamp with a Conrad Johnson Premier tube amp. The MC-10 is similar to the Conrad Johnson PFR. Bill is a former engine... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom Seantaylor....I agree it can always just be your corner compared with the rooms I have integrated. Carpeting versus hardwood floors matters also. There is no one single way that works for all, as is everything in audio. That is why I also mentione... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom Between using the corner or not is really a setup / integration issue from my experience. Since the corner is more active, it works best from my experience to leave a gap between where the bass in the speakers ends, and where the subwoofer takes o... | |
| Rega Planet vs Cambridge Audio DE500 Se In the used market my choice would actually be the Cambridge Audio CD6. This is Cambridge's best ever and a real thoroughbred. Even has balanced outputs. | |

| Auctions - why bid early? Dweller...I've seen many many auctions on eBay get no bids, and then go for a much higher price than normal at the end, because a large number of snipers show up then hoping for a deal. Setting a reserve price will protect you from giving it away.... | |

| Review: Blue Circle Audio BC-21 Tube preamp Try some vintage 1940s 6SN7-GT tubes with your BC-21, like the military VT-231 types. They will take the BC-21 to the next level.In order from the best IMHO (they are all great), I would rank the VT231 tubes (and one other).....Tung-Sol VT-231RCA ... | |
| Power Conditioner deleterious to digital sources? Yes, Yes, Yes, issolate the digital source from everything else, especially the preamp. It is the most dirty thing in most systems.
