Inexpensive Tube Amps
I guess I didn’t make myself very clear in my initial post. No point in responding to most individual posts since they have gone off in a completely different direction than my desire to obtain information on the amps mentioned.Some of these posts... 
Inexpensive Tube Amps
Yes,  I won't buy anything that does not come with a money back guarantee.Based upon reviews I've read, people using amps with as little as 87 db sensitivity into 8 ohms are not having any trouble driving amps like these or the Musical Paradise mo... 
Chinese products
While researching Nubsound and Douk Tube amps I noted they produce some very expensive Tube amps costing thousands.  It did get me to wondering, based upon the reviews of the cheap Tube amps, if it is that much of an improvement in audio quality. ... 
to bi-wire or not?
PS.  I use two separate cables for each speaker. 
to bi-wire or not?
I recently did a test with my system and could hear a difference in the sound quality when I bi wired.  It helped to separate instruments better in some recordings and the sound stage was a bit better.  I think it all depends upon the gear you hav... 
Morrow IC's
I just did a head to head test with the Morrow 1.1 IC vs. the Audio Art IC3 and Blue Jeans Cable LC-1.Morrow has the best detail of the three though it is only a slight edge over the Audio Art.  Morrow has a slightly warmer midrange than the Audio... 
Integrated or Receiver?
rterlisner.  I owned a Cambridge around 15 years ago.  Stopped using it in 2010.  Too bright and brittle sounding with my Mirage OM 10 speakers.  Also,  I don't believe that amp can be bi wired and that is a must for me.  I already have a couple o... 
Integrated or Receiver?
I will follow through on researching some of the other suggestions later this week when I have a little spare time.  Busy with work right now.  Don't have a day off again until a week from Sunday.I just did a little test and found that bi wiring i... 
Integrated or Receiver?
dynaquest4.  I still listen to the radio but mostly for news, sports and talk.  But will still listen to music if I find a station that plays Classical which I have a limited collection of CD;s and albums.  Sometimes will listen to Jazz on the rad... 
Integrated or Receiver?
jag.  Only one thing worries me about the new Yamaha amps and receivers.  I've read a large number of reviews from people that claim the they sound too bright.  Not just a couple but a lot.  I can't listen to bright speakers or amps for any length... 
Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question
kijanki.  Fortunately I have a local repair shop that can handle the soldering.  Same place where I brought my amp to repaired.  Will look at these as well.  Thanks. 
Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question
reuben.  This looks like a Banana that will fit my speakers.  Look just like the Banana's on my Type 4 cables.  Will check out some reviews on these next. 
Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question
nonoise.  Those also look quite expensive.  I take it you use these?  Does the silver create a brighter sound?  Or does the copper in the mix help tame the bright sound that silver usually creates? 
Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question
Steve.  Those KLE are pretty expensive but if they have yielded noticeable sonic improvements to the audio, then they may be worth the cost.  Have to determine if they would fit my speakers though.  I don't want to order some that costly only to f... 
Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question
I have to be sure the Banana's are the same type used by the Audio Quest Type 4 Banana's installed by Audio Advisor.  Both pairs of speakers that I own are persnickety and don't like the Spades I've tried to use nor the new Locking Banana's that I...
