| 12ax7's to roll Your Sylvanias are good tubes and you may have trouble finding something that you prefer. Telefunkens are considered to be the ultimate neutral, detailed NOS (and very long lived). Amperex are reputed to have the best, most natural midrange. Mulla... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? I say fad. I don't think there's anything wrong with LPs. If someone prefers the sound of LPs that's great. I think there is an older hard core group of vynil listeners who will always prefer vinyl, but they're getting older, hearing is fading and... | |

| Plinius SB-301. thoughts and opinions? I own a close relative, the SA-201. It's an excellent amp. I haven't had any problem driving speakers with it, but mine are not difficult to drive. Plinius uses high peak current capability to handle power demands rather than the doubling down str... | |
| Tube Preamps You can get a bigger improvement in sound by changing your speakers. B&W have a reputation for being bright. Keep your NAD sell the B&Ws and Rotel pre and amp and get a better pair of speakers. | |

| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Wireless, I hope that making posts like yours give you great enjoyment because you seem to be missing the point of listening to music.

| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? The living Beatles approved the remasterings. I think they could have gotten them pressed on purple vinyl in mono if they felt that was the only proper way to hear them. They probably will be reissued on vinyl in mono at some point as well as othe... | |
