    Anyone building Palladium interconnects?

    I've had a pair of 1m Palladium interconnects a while back that I really loved but sold to get a shorter length. I'm now downsizing my rig and selling most of the interconnects simply because I don't use them, but I would love to add a palladium interconnect to my rig again. So, is anyone...

    Are there any amps. that outperform the Lavry DA10 built in amp?

    Not long ago I compared the DA-10 build in amp with the Heed CanAmp. I must say that the difference is very much noticeable, and we are talking of a somewhat cheap amp.

    Do you by any chance still "remember" the CanAmp sound and how it compares against the Solo Green? I really like my CanAmp sound and size wise but the Solo was always an amp I wanted to try. Just not sure how it might compare.

    Trends Audio UD-10.1 Released

    Has anyone tried the improved version yet? I'm thinking on getting one (either the previous one or this) to serve as a transport to my Lavry DA-10. Cheers.

    Anyone from the UK willing to help me get a Dell Router? (free IC for your time)

    I'm looking at Gigabit switches to upgrade the wired installation of my house and saw several recommendations for the Dell Powerconnect 2716. All over Europe it costs almost twice as much as in the US (~€300), but in the UK there's currently a £100 rebate which makes it a much better deal, at...

    Need some tubes recomendations for the Rudistor RP5.1

    Thanks guys for all the explanations. I just checked the reply I got from Rudistor and it seems it was "Hans" from Customer Service that replied to my question, not Rudi himself. I'll reply back with this information to see what he has to say.

    Need some tubes recomendations for the Rudistor RP5.1

    Thanks guys for the advice. I'll give a good listen to both tubes and get back with my findings. Just one last question, are the Amperex USA 7308 PQ tubes fully compatible with the RP5.1? I seem to find much more of these than the Amperex USA 6922 PQ on eBay and I might grab a pair if I could...
