| Cudos to Brent Jesse Jim McShane, Brent Jesse, Andy Bowman, Brendan Biever and Doug's Tubes are all great tube vendors. I've also had good luck with larger vendors like Tube Depot. I would never recommend Upscale Audio. My experience with them has been terrible. Other... | |

It's likely that you can use the stock gain board at 45db and loading board at 47k for most MM cartridges.Although the PhD is the quietest phono stage I've owned (very important since I use Av... | |
| Power amp s for Avantgarde Duos? I've used the following amps with my Duo 3.2 system: Wavelength Triton WE300B, Wavelength Venus 45, Welborne DRD 300B, Yamamoto A08, Yamamoto A08-S. I settled on the A08-S (EML 45 solid) and have been very happy for about three years. Great match,... | |
| Kubala-Sosna versus Nirvana SX-Ltd The interconnect was the biggest disappointment although I wasn't very impressed with the speaker cable either. I tried both in high efficiency SET systems as well as more conventional systems. These products are considerably overpriced. | |

| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Check the thread at:http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=30116I have no affiliation with Grover Huffman but have personal experience with his cable products. They are in my opinion unbeatable for the price and have bettered a number ... | |
