| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I see they're using Viborg plug and socket for the Aeris. Seems reasonable at the price point. | |
| LTA Ultralinear 12AU7’s Add Mazda, Cifte and Radiotechnique to your list.They fall somewhere in the middle of the warm-cool spectrum Very happy with the Radiotechniqes I got from B. Jesse. | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer @wig Plugs and sockets range all the way from FI-11 to FI-52, and prices rise accordingly. For you, is there a sweet spot in the range? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Is there any information on the type of copper used in the Aeris, and the awg of the wire? | |
| 12au7 tube? There are so many variations in NOS Mullard tubes (different factories, different styles, a whole range of dates of production), that it's impossible to generalize about them. I wasn't impressed with the pair that I got, but that doesn't mean tha... | |
| 12au7 tube? I settled on Radiotechnique in my Backert preamp. I thought they were made by Mazda but perhaps I'm wrong. They just edge out the Cifte's that I also have and which I'm pretty sure were made by Mazda. Amperex is great too: a tad warmer, whereas ... | |

| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis Wesminister. Or take a look at these half-width monoblocks heavily biased into Class A. https://www.modwright.com/products/kwa-99-monoblocks/#:~:text=KWA%2099%20Monoblock%20Amplifiers.%20I%20saw%20demand%20for%20a%20100W | |
| Harbeth 40.3 and 40.2 Anniversary This month's Absolute Sound has the yearly Editors' Picks feature. One editor picked the 40.3's and previously owned the 40.2A's. His comments on the differences between the two are pretty much identical to arafiq's. Apparently the special mate... | |
| Flexible Power Cords If you want extreme flexibility, then Puritan is the way to go. | |
