BIG, warm, lush, tonally correct, detailed but not in-your-face, and engaging. Having a great time with 2A3 & 300B. ... | |
| Blinded by the Lights I've been eliminating or switching off these lamps for years. The only thing I like glowing in my system is the tubes! Try either wiring-in a small resistor (experiment with value) or disconnecting the lamp altogether. Alternately, you could wire ... | |
| Best way to remove static build-up? Humidifier. Fill with fresh water every couple of days and change the filter every few months. You'll be amazed at the overall difference in the sound (esp if you have metal dome tweets) | |

| Using "load resistors" to break-in an amp ?? I've had good results using the 8 Ohm 20 watt wire wound resistors available from Radio Shack. Just attach them across the binding posts and turn the volume up to low to medium level. Good luck! | |

| Does removing the plastic covers on caps help? Really not worth getting into here, but you should audition some 47 Labs gear when you get a chance - It will make you realize "measured performance" has absolutely nothing to do with musicality. Keep an open mind and don't shortchange yourself. | |
