Hey folks, Got an odd request. Due to a number of big upgrades over the last 12-month I now have an amazing set-up that brings me oodles of joy. The only place that is lacking is that I've always felt that my speakers needed more power than my amp can give, leading me to cranking the volume at...

Greetings repository of aggregate information. I've decided to replace all the valves in my Manley Labs 300B preamplifier. I just ordered a pair of Sophia Carbon Princess 300B and a pair of Sophia 6SL7. My Manley also uses a pair of rarer found OD3 and 5AR4 valves. I don't know much about them...

Hi,   I've asked this question a few times and received no answer so I'll try directly here.   Can I use a generic power supply with the Amphora or only the one that came with the unit?   I can't seem to find mine and I need to replace it.   Cheers.

Hey,   I'm looking to replace the bog-standard 6SL7 Sovteks that come with my Manley Labs 300B amp as they're meant to be pretty average. Ideally I want something with body and dynamics that will complement my new HD800.   I don't mind the price as long as they're good.   I actually...

Greetings, I've decided to finally, finally get a decent home headphone amp as blasting Metal until 1 in the morning while I study isn't really a viable solution. The HP-4 caught my attention as it seems to be beautifully made, can act as pre-amp (I'll still want to blare my speakers every so...

Yup, paid a hefty sum but it's worth it. I've read from many places that Master of Puppets has never sounded better and so you can imagine I'm champing at the bit to give it a whirl. However, part of me thinks I should leave it unopened and treat it as a true collectible. I already own...

I have a Pico on order and will be using it on the go with my Shure SE-530. However, I have a very nice stereo upstairs that I'm finding harder and harder to listen to due to the horrible accoustics of the room. What I plan to do is hook up the Pico to my amp's tape out and listen to my CD...
