How it works! From a common man.
If only that WAS the end of the story. 
Schiit Freya + emits a high pitch squeal when using tube stage
I own an "older unit" (original version) and it's quiet as a mouse with any tubes I use from my pile. This was simply a myth spread online about these preamps, as a few people (out of many happy campers) experienced issues. Of course you don't muc...

Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey
I have Vibrapods here and there (and some older sorbothane pads under a CD player) and my system is clear as a bell. The pods keep things from sliding around...perhaps their greatest benefit...my Linn Basik does well with its large rubber cup feet... 
Tung Sol KT 170
My little Dennis Had Firebottle amp can use pretty most any power tube (except 300bs and a few others), although I'd possibly send him an email before trying 170s. He did tell me once (email) that 150s worked great in my amp, and they did. 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
One of my favorite things about the Heresy design is its unobtrusive nature relative to output, and I trust Roy Delgado on the floor placement because, hey, he designed them around that sort of placement. My new IVs are cherry so they're somewhat ... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
BASS...it's spelled BASS. 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
mijostyn...I’ve also owned a pair of great sounding Heresy IIIs for a few years so I know something about how these things work (I’m also a successful and vastly experienced professional live sound mixer and musician), and actually did try them on... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
2 dissimilar REL subs (Q108MK2, Q150e) both around 45 to 50 hz, which matches well with the Heresy IVs. 
Adding a sub woofer?
I'm an "astute listener" and years ago added a REL Q150e which transformed my system...the adjustments on that REL are comprehensive for phase, level matching, and "crossover" matching, all easily done for excellent sound. Digital woofer control c... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
I prefer Heresy speakers on the floor as designed, with Vibrapods and a matching fuzzy bottomed pad thing under the pods so I can move 'em easily. Imaging is astonishing with these things, and according to what I've read it's gonna take up to 500 ... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
The mid horn in the IV is such a different design from the III...the IV is a far shorter driver throat attached directly to the Tractrix horn flare (with a little dust cap in there), where the III seem like a complicated long chamber throat with a... 
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
Guitar makers and repair guys often use Novus as I do. The 3 versions go from serious scratch therapy to a great sort of anti swirl mark polish. 
Adding a sub woofer?
Regardless of Millercarbon's snarky condescension (per usual), RELs are NOT inherently "lumpy" unless set up badly, and a single one can work. Not everybody has room for a Swarm of four subs and many can get along with one well placed REL or anoth... 
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
Hit 'em with sandpaper and simply forget about the obsessive-compulsive polishing...steel wool...something...anything...
