Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
I also own this XLO Test CD and have found it to be very helpful in setting-up my speakers. Years ago, I had both speakers precisely the same distance from front/side walls and one speaker was always louder and pulling the image away from the cent... 
Great experience with Linear Tube Audio
@hfaddictThis is what a lot of LM users have done, bypassing the standard volume pot and from the users I've contacted, the results are phenomenal across the board. It was the direction I was going before selling my LM.Let us know your findings si... 
KT88 tubes for Monos
@trelja I'll see how the Psvane TII hold up and have found a source for Valve Art Cryo Shuguang KT88 T which is a GEC copy and quite reliable from users. I'm finding that Shuguang appears to be the standard when it comes to reliability and others ... 
KT88 tubes for Monos
@skipping & wolf_garciaThanks for your reply! Since I've had good success with Sophia, I may just get those since they have been around and Canada Fuller is quite new to me; It will be no time soon really since I have Psvane TII and Shuguang G...

Tekton Double Impacts
@hfaddictThick curtains on those reflective sliding doors while listening will reduce early reflections and give better imaging; taming those will open up a new level of transparency.The LM will get better within the first 2 months and will become...

Tekton Double Impacts
@hfaddictRecently sold my LM508IA but it's a great sounding unit and a simple tube swop will take it to a higher level of refinement and sound quality. - Psvane 805 is an upgrade but TJ Full Music are superior- Emission Labs 300b very dynamic and ... 
Don Sach's pre amp
Those tubes will sound good after 50 hours but will need 200+ hours to fully burn-in. Looking forward on receiving my D2 and Kootenay 120 KT 88 Amp.Wig 
Don Sach's pre amp
@ porscheracerIt's all circuit dependent and my NOS tubes smoked the CV-181Z in my Line Magnetic SET Integrated Amp. A good thing for us is that we do not have to go out and procure these treasures, just choose the ones that best represents our li... 
Don Sach's pre amp
