Recomendations Please

Jelliott78,

Since you're open to power improvement, you also might want one day to purchase a power conditioner. In terms of straight bang for the buck, a Shunyata Hydra is even better than single power cords...even more so considering your pre doesn't have a detachable cord. The conditioner will benefit your entire front end. I'd run the belles straight into the wall with a venom 3 in any case. Bottom line; if you like what you hear with the venom on the Belles you'll be amazed by what a conditioner can do. One caution; if you buy a new cord, allow about 150 hours for break in before judging.

I like that i was looking at the shunyata's what do you think about the audioquest NRG-4 or the NRG 10. . the only reason I ask is because i have all audioquest cables and am thinking maybe they will all pair better together? i did read about the hydra's and want to get something like that eventually seems like the way to go to kinda round things out. I have also seen the audioquest sky interconnects on ebay for a great proce and am thinking about getting them (72dbv version) pure silver sounds awesome! right now I just have the diamondbacks whicha re below the king cobra. . what do you think.

Save for a pair of 2Wqs or Quatros both will surpass your expectations.
Try to also not have the 2 ft from the front wall and 2 feet from side wall I would read the Vandy Manual with the grid suggestions odd numbers in from front wall and odd numbers from side wall example 1/7th in from side 1/5th into the room from the front wall measuring from the center of the speaker like its a clock dial
Whats your exact room size measurements?
length/ width/ and ceiling height?

I've never personally compared the Shunyata pc's with the AQ's power cords. Reviews would suggest they're not as good as Shunyata's line but one's own ear is always the best judge. I personally think you'll get more bang for your buck by upgrading power cords and conditioning. I own $1200 interconnects and $2000 speaker wire...and as good as they are..I don't think they compare to the buzz resulting from a power cord/conditioning upgrade. Of course, your mileage may vary.

The best thing to do is get a dealer to let you take something home for an audition. Or better yet, hook up with an audiophile circle where you live. Check out audiocircle.com.

The 7308s will work fine electrically. The most likely overt change will be improved frequency extension, punchier bass possibly but I doubt thunderous bass, typically better clarity, definition, air and greater transparency on the top. It all depends on the tube you buy. Be forewarned there are alot of rebranded, counterfeit and junky 1980s vintage ECG type 7308s not to mention poor quality used pulls sold as test new.
If you are happy with the Bugle Boy 6922s it might be a good idea to stick with them.
