    Amp (tube?) recommendation for Quad Era 1?

    I know that most don't recommend tube amps for planar magnetics, but Quad specifically made a tube amp for the Era 1 and I am wondering if anyone has a tube (or other amp) recommendation for this set that doesn't cost an insane amount. I am currently running a modi-magni, but my magni has an...

There is one thread for the HPA-5000, but not the updated HPA-5000XL...

    Help me choose my first tube amp and DAC?

    I want to buy my first desktop tube amp. The thing is, I don't have a dedicated DAC so I'll need to get one of those too. I'd like to spend about $600-700. I was looking at the xDuoo TA-30 Tube AMP/Dac combo for $600. It looks like it might be a great choice, although it's a little obscure. I...

    Can a low sitting powertube in a tubeamp be a risk for overheating?

    Hey people, first off all, here's my Xduoo TA-26 with the tubes I rolled: I've been using and tube rolling this amp for a while and I've settled on the Tung-Sol 6SN7GTB and the RCA 6080. The 6080 was the only more or less recommended power tube I could get in my area and I don't plan to get...

    Tube Preamp vs Amp
