| Help With New Preamp Decision Sorry, that last post got cut off. Aric Kimball suggested the NOS tubes supplied with his amp were excellent, but I did order it with the upgraded Sylvania "Bad Boy" tubes. I was willing to upgrade elsewhere if Aric thought it was warranted, but ... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision Yowser, I heard the Rhumba 1.4 and the Rhumba Extreme 1.4, but the standard Rhumba was outclassed by the Rogue RP-9 and certainly by the Rhumba Extreme; and it did not sound congested....but I do not remember which tubes came with the stock unit.... | |

| Help With New Preamp Decision Sorry for the long delay in getting my thoughts together, it's been a hectic week at work. As I mentioned I went on a preamp listening tour last week and this past weekend, trying to hear several tube preamps on my list in situations where I'd hav... | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? Dukebrd88, These are the cables I can recommend, also a bunch of DIY.....but I'll only recommend these. The Zavfino models I use are the Majestic and Prima, the Majestic needs about 100 hours to settle in, the Prima about 150 hours. Zavfino cabl... | |

Duketbrd88, You have a $19,000 integrated amp, do yourself a favor and get a decent cord.....you have a bunch of really good recommendations here, some only $400 or so. Zavfino Majestic and Prima have been suggested a bunch, as have Anti-Cables L... | |
