| Cryo valves- any experince? Yah : I tried the Winged "C" EL34 cryo'd quad ( Thor Monos ) and did not care for them at all..At first I thought they were decent but noticed I was missing detail...Quite a bit warmer than the un cryo'd quad..If you need more " Color" they might ... | |

| Thinking about moving to a tube pre - suggestions. Alex333 : The SP9 in my opinion would be a "Bad" mistake..The SP 9 in my opinion are threadbare and very lean sounding...This would not be the direction you asked about...An Audio Rsearch SP 6,8,10 or 11 is a whole different story... | |

| How make my Ayre system "warmer"? I would suggest adding a Virtual Dynamics nite ( used or new Nite 2 or newer ) Power cord to your amp and/or Cd player..These cords are sweet and have tremendous dynamics without giving up the magic midrange...There are always good deals on the Ni... | |
| Thinking about moving to a tube pre - suggestions. I would actually ( don't know your price range ) jump on the Audio Research SP 11 full function preamp( listed in this site ) .This piece is listed as just returned from A/Resarch for check up ..This would be just what the doctor ordered for you..... | |
