| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? articdeath, don't be so quick to dismiss using a tube preamp just because tubes wear out every few years.The first time you change the tubes to a different brand/type, you will hear the different sonic possibilities tubes can bring to your system.... | |
| Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker The Imagine T2’s have a 6 ohm impedance and sensitivity of 90dB, so it would seem that they would be an easy load to drive, However, their impedance curve shows that the bass and mid-bass frequencies hover around 4 ohms and even drop below 3 ohms ... | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Thanks for your post, Morrowaudio, I did not realise that. I'll have to give your cables a closer look. | |

| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: The Thingee FX2 is an amazing device, incredible performance equalling PCs at a much higher cost.

| suggestons on speaker cable that boost mid and upper bass Since you are happy with the highs and design of the Connex, I suggest you research ICs that have the characteristics you seek. Don't dismiss what a change in IC's can add. It could fill in the mid and bass.Possibly the Cardas Clear Reflection. | |

Denon DL 103r is a MC cart, the sound you are describing sounds like an improper loading issue.But cleeds is correct, it's not possible to calculate compliance w/o knowing the tonearm mass. Can you find specs on your TT with tonearm since they wer... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords +1 for Audience. The AU24 SE is the top of the line. Consider any of the AU24 models. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp owners! I used RCA 12AX7 BPs in a Jolida and 12AU7's in a Rogue pre. The Rogue is very neutral, not like a PrimaLuna. BPs take away any harshness. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp owners! RCA 12AU7 Blackplates have a classic tube sound. Warm, open, good soundstaging with smooth highs.The RCA 5963 Blackplate is a premium tube that has better dynamics with more air up top. | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? Since you're not using stands, are you using some kind of acoustic footer so that the speaker is decoupled from the furniture? IOW, are the bottom of your speakers sitting on the bookcase or are they raised? |
