| More power for better sound at low volumes? IMO clarity/resolution is the solution to better sound at any volume. It starts with your soure and then the preamp. All that gets passed through to your amp which basically just magnifies the signal. Most preamps have to use a little juice to get... | |
| Configuring my system.. component opinions. I recently just completed building a tube preamp that I will be marketing commercially soon. It is a direct heated triode, transformer coupled preamp. Since you live in Brooklyn, I could bring over the prototype for you to hear in your system. I d... | |
| What makes music so congested? There are a few items that can cause this. Old CDP laser, DAC, and preamp mostly. Replacing something as simple as the CDP laser can add clarity and separation. Your DAC can also be the issue. Preamps especially tube preamps can cause clarity issu... | |

| upgrade cables Different cables sound differnt in your system so you needto try them out. I do not prefer silver because I think they lack the tone of copper cables. I like to hear the wood of a stand-up bass in the recording. That being said, try a better CDP f... | |
| Best tube preamp ever Thanks Charlesdad for your comments. I have heard good things about the Coincident preamp and it was one I set out to beat in my design. DHT preamps are where it is at. Once you hear one, it is hard to go back. The first one my partner and I build... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I wanted to add my thought on what I heard with the new High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects designed by Rick Schultz. I only had one pair of interconnects to use in my system and I placed them between the preamp and power amp. I let them break in con... | |
| Vandersteen Model 5 speakers Babybear thanks I meant to say the 7" driver. They work with no issues so I will wait on the x-overs and look into the battery pack. My local vandy dealer offered to help me out with set-up. | |

| How are Hig-End Speakers Priced? Here is my example to my preamp. To develop my preamp it cost me over 5,000 in various parts just to try them out to see how the preamp would sound. Along the way there were so many changes based upon parts availability and how they worked togethe... | |
