Driver Tubes 6922
What I think I have discovered in any event is that the pre seems to be the most important part since the pre w/ the GL's makes my system sound like it did yesterday. Of course it could be that the Mullards I used as Amp Inputs were nothing speci...

@tksteingraber  Yes, I am sure Bret will do me proper. I'm just venting on my disappointment.   So, does Bret actually sell "New", unused tubes, or are they all just used tubes pulled out of junked equipment? If the latter is correct, does any...

Yes @facten ,   I just heard that on his answering machine, :-)   I don't suppose the crackling is something that will just fix itself??? Like maybe burn off some space dust inside. Such a shame. They sounded so good.   TD  
Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV
@wolf_garcia  I'd say it took 6 weeks running virtually 24/7.   T

Well, I received the tubes today. The difference is unbelievable. Why the Hell can't people make tubes like they used to? But, as always there is a problem....one of the RCA AT7's is crapped out. Snapping, Crackling and Hissing. And this is quit... 
Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV
@wolf_garcia  I know what you mean and it does get better. That ovephisized upper mid cleared up for me just recently. Some audio things go through several changes during a long breakin period...in my experience.   T

H4's are fantastic. Amazing how many haters there are. I imagine these people dont know how to set up or never heard them or atleast not broken in and set up.

I dont mean to be unappreciative, but the question was...preface first...I have heard online that Forte Iv's have better soundstange than the H4. Is this true? If this is true, what in the Forte causes this improvement?  
3-Dimensional Soundstage
@dhite71  The depth in recording comes from the distance the mic is from the noise maker. Mic right up on the singer, the singer should pop out of the front of the speaker and vice verse. same with horizontal and height.

@oddiofyl  Yes, My MidMonos do very well with my H4's. Low volume 6.5 feet away. Really if I have an issue with the H4's, it is that the depth of the stage is usually only 3.5 feet behind the speaker, sometimes 6 feet. I would like ....always 6.5... 
Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV
Concerning soundstage, what is causing the difference between the two speakers? I hear that Forte soundstage is better than Heresy, but I also hear that the Cornwall soundstage is better than Forte. Arent Cornwall and Heresy using the same mid an... 
Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ?
@oddiofyl    "I upgraded to an Aurender N200 to pair with my DAC and feel it was a worth while choice despite it's price tag.  I don't even play CDs anymore "   Whats this....C..D... thing you speak of?
