| noisy tube preamp Upscale Audio for a tube overhaul. Good information on the website. Probably will fix the whole thing. Enjoy. | |
| Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out? Manley Neo-Classic 300B. Just upgraded to Takatsuki 300B tubes which now makes it officially amazing. Used it falls in your price range. | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. I went to a 3 shelf Quadraspire lowering the previous 4 shelf. The improvement was noticeable. The imaging and detail improved. | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Bluesound Vault 2 $1200, Rega Flex R integrated $1700, Rega RX 1 speakers $1300 leaving approximately $800 for cabling, stands and a nice Syrah. I promise this system will rock! | |
| Speaker cable suggestions for Sugden A21SE integrated AKG: The speakers are Merlin TSM BME Black Magic monitors. I've already upgraded the PC which did improve everything. Thanks. | |
| Manley Jumbo Shrimp upgrade Thank you for insightful responses. | |
| Linear Power Supply for a DAC I run a Teddy Pardo for my Naim UnitiServe and it is ridiculous. So good that the shop I purchased it from got one for themselves. I would contact Pardo for a consult for your particular unit. | |

| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. jvogt is correct, for the money and sound quality, arrrrggghhhhh..... A friend who runs a high-end shop describes it akin to barbed wire run between the ears back and forth. | |
| What makes a good Hi Fi rack improve your system. Great question. I use the Quadraspire Sunoko Vent and it is tremendous replacing what I assumed was credible, a Target stand. Turns out the Target muddied things, how weird is that? The bass is much less bloated, imaging improved, I really don'... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? Return from CES with Kimber Kable silver speaker cable for your girlfriend instead of flowers. | |
| Harman/Kardon Receiver The HK 430 is a bit of an anomaly. Not all receivers of that vintage sound so good. Prevalent use of discrete componentry, oversized power supply for the design and engineers who actually listened to the product probably explains most of it. I ... | |
| using large box dvd/cd/player as base for small tube amp Lowrider57 is very correct. In fact I got schooled when I placed my pieces on a Quadraspire Sunoko Vent stand and everything....and I do mean everything got way better. I was running a Target stand thinking all is good. Not!!

| Good used Pre-Amp? Price Range $1500.00 to $2000.00 Manley Jumbo Shrimp used. Run one right now with Mahi Mahi mono blocks, so this not a blind suggestion. Great imaging, solid bass foundation, quick with no tube bloom. Particularly good with acoustic music and vocals. |
