| 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 ... | |
| Anyon have experience with Moon River Reference 404 Integrated? You might want to check out how the amp measured, noting especially the channel separation and clipping power into 8 and 4 ohm. Moonriver 404 Reference integrated amplifier Measurements | Stereophile.com | |
| Do Harbeth speakers really need a 4000 damping factor? PrimaLuna's EVO 400 power amp has a damping factor of 7. It's their most powerful pure tube amp ever. The Crown Studio Reference II has a factor of >20,000. | |

| Flexible Power Cords If you want extreme flexibility, then Puritan is the way to go. | |
| McIntosh MCD12000 vs. Luxman D-10X vs. Technics SL-G700M2 Just curious, but is there a reason you're not considering the other Luxman players, the 07x and the 03x, a bit closer in price point to the Technics? | |

| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Let me just add one thing that Scott didn't mention. The Weiss has two small toggle switches on the back that let you adjust down the output of the DAC by -10, -20 or -30dB. As this is a straight-forward DAC you will be using it with your preamp... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house Before it gets taken down, for reference, here is the full text accompanying the referenced YouTube video. Skip navigation Sign in 0:02 / 16:54 Is Gallium Nitride "better than" Silicon in C... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I believe AGD dropped him as a dealer some time ago. Some short time after that event OCD came out with a video saying some Jeff Roland class D amp was better. I got my Tempo from Verdant. | |
| What to do with a large collection There is a lively trade in used classical CDs on Amazon. Of course, the rarer ones command higher prices. One of the USA-based companies that does a lot of business there is Decluttr. Entertainment | Sell DVDs, Compact Discs & Books | Declu... | |
