I really like some of the features and components of the Eversolo and it had good sound. I have been getting negative vibes about their customer service during my research from just about every site. If you get a good one great, if not, stand by f...

Yep, my buddy keeps accusing me of being a dinosaur. I like what I like, what can I say. His favorites are the AKM (which I would consider mid generation), but we know what happened there. I listened to an Eversol A6 standard today. Much better s...

I hear you, but IMHO not always.  For example, I prefer the sound of the older DAC's then the new ones, Burr-Brown and Wolfson V. ESS as an example.  In this case, the Gen 2 has a better power supply, which based on what I've read can make the st...

Thank you all.  I received an email response from Forte, looks like only 2 in Oregon.  I knew about the 2 in WA.  Just so happens, the Portland location I am going to is on the same Ave as Headphones about 6 blocks away so I may just drop in while...

Thank you viridian.  
Cable upgrade
Thank You.  The King Cobras have been pretty good bang for the buck for me and seem to work for my ear.    
Cable upgrade
Pretty satisfied with my speaker placement at this point.  Now to contemplate cables or not.     
Cable upgrade
To update, I feel the speakers may be just about there as I have not noticed any glaring differences in their sound lately. I have again made some changes placement wise. I found 2 positions that seem agreeable to my ear. One has slightly better b...

Speakers are progressing nicely; pretty confident I am almost there. I had to reduce the toe in by a little bit and it made an improvement. When I started this, I was making changes in inches, and as I got closer it’s down to 1/4" changes which le... 
Cable upgrade
I've been listening a couple of weeks now, and I am happy with the Focal's and their "progress" so far. I replaced the Veracity's with the AQ's I had just to see if I could detect any changes.  Seemed to even out the sound somewhat and exhibit a ... 
Cable upgrade
I've been listening an average of about 6 hours a day to facilitate them burning in.  I detected a change in the soundstage today, seemed to flatten out so I moved them around a tad.  Have a nice deep soundstage with better focus with a slight toe... 
Cable upgrade
Thank you for the replies. Yes, I am running the speakers in before next purchase for sure. I did like the Veracities with my other speakers, the Focal’s are for sure more articulate so I worry they might sound too bright with a cable that’s just ... 
Info on ADS M12/90
Oops, forgot about impressions. I really liked the sound of these, pretty smooth highs with tight, but not boomy bass. Depending on the type of music you prefer, even though they claim 34 Hz on the low end, it didn't really seem like it. It could ...

Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
I've read this thread, and am intrigued. Any ideas how the Dude would mate to a McIntosh MC275?Thanks,Tony
