Lay a couple on your equipment and see if you can tell a difference . Then attach in a semi permanent manner. Also when my sound is too tight , I switch f... | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... Hi , interesting discussion . I don't have a solution, just some rambling thoughts . When I changed amps , it was to get more power in SS or go to tubes . I think Chayro's spot on about source . I use Tidal over CD's. But I would recommend looking... | |

I haven't tried the phono stage , and the headphone stage is not t... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes @madavid0 , Well I guess I'm just a loser . I thought that we were sharing positive experiences , not measuring our penis. Eventually I might get to your perceived level of greatness . In the meantime I'll just have fun learning about audio equipm... | |

| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I remember watching Led Zepplin outdoors at the Oakland Collisium while on LSD.
