| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @schubert Have you heard the Vincent hybrid SP-T700 Mono Blocks? Have the airy top end and warmth of tubes with a nice punchy Solid State bottom end. Obviously not the slam of higher powered S/S Mono's. | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Too much generalization. There are some good, great, ordinary Tube components. There are some good, great, ordinary Solid State components.There is also the issue of compatability. Some Tube Amps suit certain Speakers, some Solid State Power Amps ... | |
| Does It have to be loud? All of my systems go to "11". | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question Yep different brand cables work beautifully for me. | |
| Tube or Trasistor Hi davey, what Mono Blocks did you get? Is the harshness just with Phono? Do you run digital? Noticed you have a built in Dac. Guess it's a process of elimination. Also as I peviously mentioned, cables can make some difference in certain cases. Re... | |
| Morrow IC's Hi samzx12,I'm in Australia. Over here I'd say a standard Saturday City Open Handicappper as opposed to WFA Group level. They are not up to your Breeders Cup level or our Cox Plate level! | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question You should get even better results running seperate brands of Speaker Cables. | |

| Morrow IC's My first venture into Morrow cables was close to 5 years ago. MA-4 Inteconnects with cu. Eichman's. They were a big step up from the cables I had at the time which were all 10 years old or older. I can tell you the MA-4's are a big jump in perform... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question I've had great success running seperate brands of cables from the 2 binding posts on each Mono Block to Speakers. Allows you to run a seperate cable better suited for bass and seperate cable better suited for mid's/ highs. | |

| Switching from solid state to tubes Yep, hybrid might be the way to go. | |
| Tube or Trasistor No wonder poor old davey has'nt got back, the threads disintegrated into median wages for USA etc.ADD anyone? | |
| Tube or Trasistor Hi davey,While not familar with all your equipment. My suggestion would be to look at a good tubed Phono Stage. The JLTI equipment I've heard can be a little forward and harsh sounding. A good Tubed Pre. could also help. Also look at different Int... |
