I did a little more tube rolling and have decided to settle with the Amperex Phillips Miniwatt SQ 6922 E88CC Holland. These tubes have the similiar sparkle as the Amperex Phillips SQ Holland 7308's...

I have been experimenting with different tubes in the DK Amp. After replacing the stock Chinese tubes, I went to the Amperex 7308 JAN PQ USA Orange from 1967. These tubes were very clean but a bit ...

Today, I switched out the Audience AU24 Interconnect and put in the DK Interconnect. This has made a drastic change in the sound. It is much more full bodied and has much of the richness that I tho...

Dan, the Stillpoints are very effective in terms of eliminating vibration and adding much to the sonics in terms of focus as well as bass response. I use them with the Stillpoints risers and have t...

Thanks for the nice note, David. I just got the Lector and like you had a Wadia before it. In my case, it was the Wadia 302 which delivered much detail and digital information. However, in the shor...

Having a complete system of Audience AU 24 in my system has been as much of an improvement as adding a new component. As I stated earlier, I have it as an Interconnect between my CD player and amp,...

I think that when I initally put the system together, I erred on the side of warmth through the midrange and had that coming from the Jolida JD-100, the tubes in the amp, and the Cardas Golden Cros...

I replaced the stock Sovtec 6922 Tubes with Matsushita 6DJ8/6922 Tubes that were made in the late 1960's and 1970's. These are the tubes that were rebranded by National in 1987. These tubes are ver...

I put a pair of 1960's Mullards into the Jolida CD player and I am quite happy with the sound I am getting. It presents a very warm midrange and is easy to listen to.

Update on the system: As I had mentioned earlier, I changed the stock tubes in the CD player as well as the amp and the Mullards made a big difference. In addition, the Cardas Cable that I used add...
