Saw the recommendation for the Sumo Polaris... it is the most odd duck of the Sumo line and will sound different than Pass. However Jim did not design this amp. Rich May did it.

| Audio research ref 6SE vs world The Reference 6se is excellent. My go to SS pre when I really want a hard core comparison with tubes is the SST Ambrosia Preamp. Loaded with features, it doesn't sound like tubes, yet, it does have a flare, a tube like quality, smooth, detail... | |

To start, make sure that your subs are at least 3ft from any wall and make sure that your subs are not near each other. Starting here will help reduce any room boundry reinforcemen... | |
| What 's the different between MDF and HDF ? While MDF may have a 10 to 15 year life span in floors where it would be under constant pressure. That is not the case in speakers. I have speakers that I built and laminated 40 years ago that still look and sound great. What was posted is not ... | |
| Replace Dyneaudio Tweeters or Sell As Is? Newbie Seeks Advice? DO NOT buy one of the replacements mentioned. All 3 have radically different impedance curves. They would not act anything like each other with your dyn crossovers. One of them had a 1mm xmax. No suitable. Next the ferro fluid issue. I have ... | |

| Coda 07X vs Backert Rhumba extreme vs VAC renaissance V I have sat in front of an 07X a few times. Personally, I would not call it tube like. Many Tube people think of SS as dry or overly etched, The Coda is not that either. I found in ever so slightly toward the warm side. Clean, smooth and detai... |
