High pass quality to mains uisng Velodyne DD subs
I tried both ways. I was running Running two DD 10's. It was a trade off in my system. Using the high pass in the subs made the speaker and sub intergration perfect. But it made the mids and highs sound electronic. And by not using the high pass, ... 
Opinions on the "TACT" sonic signature?
I ownded a Tact 2.2x. It did a good job with bass correction. That was it. If I needed active bass correction Velodyne DD 10's with room correction. And at have a pure mid's and high's. With the Tact music sounded very computerized, with out any h...

Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
I want to comment about the Dartzeel failure at my home a couple months ago. When it blew a channel, we were swaping pre amps trying to see which pre was most synergistic with the Dartzeel. On initial power up a Dart channel blew. At that point I ... 
Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody
Larry, I own a Grange, I had the Emission Labs 45 Mesh Plate's, and now use Western Electric 300B's. I my system the Western Electric are superior in every way. Not really even a close A/B comparison, to me they are night and day better.

Best preamp is no preamp: always true?

Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Jtinn,I don't know ANY of the details reguarding the amp I listened too. But based on the brief conversation I had with its owner, I think the repairs were an attempt to make this DartZeel actually become dependable not be a sonic upgrade. As for ...
