| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes For Push and Pull tube amps,I always prefer 7027, KT66, 7591 and EL84 over EL34.The vocal always sound richer over all than EL34.The bass on EL34 is not neccessary better. It really depends on which brand/type of the tube and the amp you installed... | |
| WBT vs Eichmann I agree with Tvad. It really depends on how one make the cable and terminate the cable properly. I prefer Eichmann Silver Bullet over the copper version because it sounded more open, smoother overall and less harsh in the high frequency. As far as... | |
| Volume Level Try to swap the L and R channel phono cable and see if the sound is consistantly lower on one side. It can then help you determine of it is from source or your phono section. | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables Wc65mustang, Why do you claim that Stealth Indra is the best while you switched to copper? Isn't that kind of ironic?As far as Bose 901s.. I don't have them.. Used them back in the DJ days in the late 80s. | |

| Classe Audio DR6 Not too crazy about DR6 preamp. Although it is only 25W/ch class-A operation, the DR3-HV amps is one of the best product made my them.Get Klyne if you are into SS preamp. | |
| New speakers and excessive midrange switch to some US or European 300B amps probably would resolve this issue.Many of the Chinese amps are not very refined and clean.That's why there is no high and lows because it is not capable of reproducing it correctly. | |
| New speakers and excessive midrange "excessive midrange" might came from your Dared VP-300B SET Monoblocks and Dared SL-2000 Preamp combo and not the speakers themselves. | |
| Best Vintage Speakers? Be very careful on selecting vintage ribbon speakers when they get old. Especially if they came from high humidity environment. | |
| Best Vintage Speakers? It all depends on size requirement of the speakers that can fit your room and the amps you have to drive them.Vintage high efficiency speakers from the late 50s and early 60s are extremely desirable.12" ~ 15" Tannoy, Jensen, Lorenz, Altec, Western... | |

| Anyone tried the 29ga. 5n Pure Silver wire? For long ICs, the home brew cable might not work well. Proper shielding needed. Aside from that, 29ga is too thin for this application. Personally, I wouldn't use anything longer than 6 ft for single-ended ICs.As far as purity claim and cryo claim... |
