| So warm like any players made from England. Arthur- Kimber Selects will provide ANYTHING BUT the colorations described above. They are one of the most transparent cables available. If they pass a "warm", "sugary"(glazed) or(in other words) "English sound"- it's because something else in the... | |
| Speaker Break-in Mr A- Yes, it would be the same(BUT- reverse phase on both sections of one speaker). | |

| Why are older tubes so much sought after Trelja- I gave my son my ST70 some years back for his birthday. He ended up with RCAs as Sylvanias weren't available when the ones in it bit the dust. Everything else in the system was different, but- They sounded like an excellent tube(especially... | |

Based on what you claimed as your prerequisites, I believe yo... | |

| 6922 Recommendation for my BAT VK-3iX Preamp With the Siemens CCa's(pre 1969 ONLY- the later CCa was extremely strident), you will hear the music, not the system. Transparent, extended in both directions(without bloat of glare), liquid midrange, excellent imaging and soundstage. They were a ... |
