| 100 - 125.00 RCA, and coax recommendations please I can’t speak to their complete interconnects, but I’ve just fallen in love with the KLE Harmony RCAs. I made a pair of ICs with solid silver cable and the KLE Pure Harmony RCAs and they sound incredible. I’m coming from ICs made with Cardas instr... | |
| Preamp popping! @atmasphere thanks for the tip! Both tubes that went were new electro harmonix | |
| Preamp popping! @minorl right? I knew something was wrong because it didn’t pop like that normally and everyone is telling me I’m turning things on in the wrong order... I'm glad you caught that. I was wondering if I’d lost my ability to communicate | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 @dlcockrum I think that's it! TV, movies, social media - they all require minimal cognitive effort and, indeed, often reduce cognitive abilities. Listening to music requires focus, imagination and effort. The exact opposite of what the more popula... | |
| Preamp popping! So far, yes. So, while I really should follow the rules, it's good I turned everything on at once. Otherwise I'd never have heard the popping and never would have noticed the tube getting ready to explode. What's odd is that it started popping a f... | |

| Preamp popping! Ha! Thanks. I'm going to stick with the PROPER procedure for system turn on now. I've never seen a tube arc like that. Exciting! | |
| Preamp popping! @newbee and @rodman99999 thank you. that's the kind of input i was hoping for..it turns out my 6V6 tube is starting to go. i turned on the preamp and watched the tubes. a huge arc shot from the top of the tube to the base.i'm thinking that's no... | |
| Preamp popping! So, in a very indirect and too much coffe way you're saying that it's normal. There's nothing wrong. I'm curious as to why it only is happening now... Ah, back to searching. | |
| Preamp popping! Also, the popping occurs independent of the volume control. Your comment on muting the pre made me think of that, so thanks! | |
| Preamp popping! I understand. But none the less.. If there's something faulty, I want to fix it. Ideas? | |
