Need cable to soften brightness just a little?
Great thread . All the solutions are here . First set your speakers slightly off axis, this will lessen the glare . Second , allow about 400 hours for breakin . And unfortunately replace the consumer receiver with an audiophile grade product . I k... 
I am TORN between Tube power amp and SS power amp.
  Also , I have a Had Inspire on right now . At 12 WPC , don’t even try to run the JBL’s . That’s why I have Heresys and KG 1.5’s to supplement  my Zu’s .

   Hi Rodulfo, I have a pair of JBL 4312A’s on Sound Anchor stands . They are currently in the closet as I went to low power tubes . Your speakers need 100 plus wpc tube or 200 wpc SS . I’ve run these along with  my long gone Century 100’s using D... 
My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright!
   Hi , I have a SEP low power amp that takes a single driver tube of your requirement 6DJ8 . So I purchased the following -  NOS E88CC Telefunken, Tesla, CCa Siemens , Phillips SQ, Mullard , JAN Phillips ECG, Russian 6N1P. So now at about $1000 d... 
Getting into Tube Equipment
@trelja , thanks for the compliment. I’ve tried NOS Mullard drivers , but they are like pushing the Dolby noise button on an old cassette player . In keeping on track with an excellent discussion . Would you or anyone please share on the new Dynac... 
Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp
A little off topic . I converse with an Audiophile that collects the Big vintage JBL’s ( 15” woofers ) . He runs McIntosh tubes and class D bi-amped with active an crossover and DSP. Not my cup of tea , but if done right , really impressive . Also... 
Getting into Tube Equipment
Great discussion, especially the Dynaco stuff . In my youth I had a pair of Dynaco MK III’s powering my JBL Century 100’s . Home built SS pre amp with tone controls . Garrard 40B with Audio Technica cartridge followed by a Pioneer PL -117 . It was... 
Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe
Good stuff , thanks . I too am interested in the Seas kit (A26). I added the cabinets and upgraded the capacitors and it came to about $1350.00 at Madison. I went with another speaker , but am still  really interested in the kit . So as someone al... 
single driver speakers
Dear Otter Water , I had the same question 2 years ago . So I asked around like you did .  After some research , I purchased a pair of used Zu Omens . The gentleman I purchased them from went on to buy Voxative and   DeVore speakers ( both expensi... 
When the Power Tubes Run Out
You guys are scaring me . I just pulled my GEC KT-66 smoked glass and put them away . And I will only take out my NOS Gold Lion KT-88’s  on holidays . So let’s see , I have a shoe box full of SED Winged C’s 6550. Over there , I have new GL, Tung S... 
What is an excellent power cable?
  More ramblings . +1 to Mofimadness on the Signal Cable Magic Power Cable. I’m running one on my Schiit Yiggy and I agree with him . On power conditioning Vs distribution , I chose the Richard Gray 600. It has six outlets and a quality cord . It ... 
What is an excellent power cable?
Consider new outlets too. I have the standard 15 amp circuits in my living room . I upgraded the 2  outlets to Hubbell . When I replaced some outlets in other areas of the house , I noticed that the connectors were a cheaply made push in spring ( ... 
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
I wonder how the Outlaw would sound with a pair of Zu Omen Dirty Weekend’s and a set of Anti-Cables speaker cables  ?  
What is an excellent power cable?
Hi , I started with Pangea . Then I went to Silnote Poseidon’s, then on to Analysis Cables . I will be trying Maple Shades Power Cables next . Many manufacturers offer a 30 day trial period . Also allow for some breakin time . I can’t comment on t... 
New way for audiophiles to die!
Shouldn’t this post read “ He’s dead Jim “ now what do we do ? Man I was feeling all literal and the guys (hypothetical at that ) allready dead ! What a let down . I was hoping to read about an electrocution from a fuse installed backwards , or a ...
