| Using Tube Headphone Amp as Speaker Preamp You ask a very good question. I am surprised no one has answered, yet. Like you, I was curious about using a tubed Head amp, to do double duty, as a preamp. I`ll observe, with interest, as to what the responses will be.I purchased a Jolida FX tube... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker I can relate with the OP, about the experience. I have a pair of B&W 804`s, and that treble was fatiguing to listen to. I swapped in a hybrid tube amp, and that sure made a difference in how the music sounded. I, also, did not have to spend a ... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? At the start of the year, I swapped out an ADCOM 5400 for a Jolida JD 1501P. This softened the brightness, and made my B&W`s listenable. In 2016, I discovered, that, tubes can make a difference.Teamed a multi-bit Bifrost, with a NAD 515 CDP, w... | |
| Best Cd player or Transport for $1000.00 used. Try a Rega Saturn: previous to the 'R' version. I think it is one of the better bargains, on the used market. I just want to give you a heads up- I recently had bought a Yamaha S2000, without an audition. It proved to be a little too warm sounding... | |
| Adcom? I have used an ADCOM GFA-5400/GTP-450 for 22yrs, without any issues. It was a nice step up from a receiver based system.I believe that your issues are not unique, though. I remember, when I had bought my ADCOM components, Tweeter Audio, was a big ... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Love the music, misnomer or not! Some of the best music I have ever heard. Spent alot of money on stereo, just to listen the artists you speak of. I got tired of rock music(getting older),of which, not as good as it was in the 60`s and 70`s, IMHO.... | |

| Most achingly-beautiful music Rachmaninoff Symp No. 2-Andre Previn, Royal Philharmonic Orch. CD, Telarc Label.Awsome. Just like the Moodies, don`t get tired of it. | |
| Acurus DIA Ahh, a rhetorical question! Does this merit an answer? I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Any unnatural movement of my wrist can be annoying. I have 3 preamps hooked-up, in the living room. I also have, and have used, 2 integrateds and a 40W r... | |
