| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty Aren't most tube amps a little light on the bass? I have never heard one that can go as low as solid state. Is that a fair criticism of CJ gear when most tube amps have same issue? | |
| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? Try oval 9-never found more bass from a cable. With their crystal oval interconnect you cant go wrong. Cardas is warm but smears the images-ditto for Purist. They are slow cables. | |
| acoustic zen reference or venustas I agree this is a very subjective question. I have no experience with Acoustic Zen but comparing Purist to Nordost (which is the ultimate in detail and definition) to my ears its no contest. I would take a Purist cable any day over Nordost...if fo... | |
| Triode TRV-35SE tube integrated amp I have the KT88 version but I replaced the stock chinese tubes with JJ's and Electro-harmonix tubes-big difference! I liked the TRV-88SER for its bass and punchy sound. Upgrading the tubes makes a world of difference. Solid state amps just wont im... | |
| Purist Audio Speaker cable question I just checked their website and proteus is now absent-looks like discontinued. Only fluid cable I see now is Poseidon. For the record I own Venustas praesto revision and I agree it is probably their best value in the entire line. It is a great so... | |

| Best Power Conditioner? I have a sine sa 6 silver cryo...its not a so called power conditioner, but a high-end power bar. It seems to make a difference. | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Thats a good point. I live in Quebec where the Grid and the electricity are quite good. I wonder If I need a conditioner at all! | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Has anyone tried the Consonance D-15 linear ultra reference? | |
| Elac Loudspeakers? I made some videos of my Elacs with my new YBA amp...here is a youtube link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMO6qwubRAo | |
| Whatever happened to YBA? Epiqview Inc. is now the distributor in North America. I just purchased the new YBA a100 heritage integrated and its great! | |
| Odyssey Cyclops vs. the Exposure Integrated Amps I have an exposure 2010s cdp and its great. I assume their amps are just as good. However, I did just purchase a YBA a100 from their new Heritage line. Its fantastic. It drives my Elac floor standers effortlessly. They can be a fussy speaker and l... | |
