| The most transparent speaker cable I am very surprised that no one has mentioned Audience AU 24 SE cables. I have found them to be a very transparent with strong bass clarity and no harshness. But, as so many have mentioned cables will be system dependent. I do agree with NORDOST... | |
| "Good tube Integrated Amps" Primaluna Dialogue Premium with KT-120’s. Auto biasing. Can’t beat it for the price. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Question: I purchased 2 SR red fuses for my Primaluna Premium with KT-120. Loved how they sounded but both blew with in a week. They were the correct amperage. Could the the KT-120 be responsible for this. Spoke to the US rep but couldn't give me... | |

| Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker I recently switched over to a Primaluna Dialogue Premium with Reference 3a Veena speakers. My system has never sounded better. I'm running the Primaluna with KT-120 which give a great full sound and the biggest soundstage I ever had. The autobias ... | |
| Hot Tuna They are constantly on tour. My Hot Tuna days date back to the mid 70's at the Academy of Music, NYC. Midnight shows that lasted 5 hours. You felt beat up by Jack's base by the morning. Have seen them dozens of times since both acoustic and electr... | |
| Benefits of dedicated lines for amp performance Agreed, most cost effective tweak by far! | |
| Isolation under Berkeley DAC2 Hands down Nordost Sort Kones. Go for the BC model, best bang for the buck. | |
