My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I will say that my Oppo 203 playing Pandora plus Through roku ultimate is very engaging . All of my devices are hard wired to the ethernet. If i compare the JRiver Media center PC playing .wav files that i have ripped from cd, i actually kind of p...

My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
I have the Oppo 203 and use its HDMI input . The Oppo 203 has 2 HDMI outs (same as the 205). One is dedicated to Audio only The other does both . I run the Audio only HDMI out(of the 203) to the MX151 the other HDMI out (of the 203) goes to a 70 i...

WCDo you still have plans to try the MX160 with RoomPerfect ?I think it would help your room and speaker placement a whole bunch  
Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ?
I actually use the Shuguang Black Treasure KT88-Z in my Granite 864-SR. I also have  a pair of the Sylvania 6SN7GTA Chrome dome 3 hole black plates and 2  pair of Jan CHS (sylvania) 6SN7GT-VT231..If i try to use the SylavniaGTA  in V1 and Sylvania...

@rodman99999 My statement should have been that the Sylvania 6SN7 do no re-produce bass very well. They are fantastic at almost Everything elseI think you understood what I meant. Take techno music for example . Most of it has a lot a Bass. I also... 
Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ?
@rodman99999 My whole point is ,The Sylvanias don’t have near the bass of the Ken Rads or Tung Sol 6SN7. Also Andy with Vintage Tube Services confirmed this for me . He actually told me that any of the Sylvania 6SN7s do not do Bass well .I agree w...

Andy even said the Sylvanias don’t do bass. I do not know about the metal base 6SN7W. They are as Rare as Hen’s Teeth Try taking out the Ken Rads or Tung sols and run just the Sylvania in both spots if you are talking about running both Sylvanias ...

You could try a pair of the Sim Audio 880M :)Zero Feedback Design at 800 Watts into 8 ohms and it doubles to 1600 Watts into 4 ohms 
Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ?
I think this is very close to my observations here https://www.audioasylum.com/messages/tubes/221750/6f8g-vt99-observations The 6SN7 Tung Sol and the Ken Rads , that Andy had, at least one of the tube in the pair , was somewhat .microphon...

I buy from Andy also.Thanks for the compliment on the 864-SRI also replaced the coupling caps on the 864-SR with Jupiter copper foil....Not cheap , but Very Nice sounding. I have some JAN CHS-VT-231- 2 hole black plates that are my favorites , but...

Any 6F8G with 6SN7 adapters beats all 6SN7s IMO.I personally like 12volt  tubes like 12AX7,12AU7,12AT7,12BH7...etc. better than 6SN7 . Like Lowrider said ,many of the  6SN7s that have good balance and Bass are microphonic.. like Ken Rad or Tung...
