Nice! No I am not going to call you to help me move them - I will make the wife do it! Yes, I might try the Lexi out, if that is cool with you! AND NO TREY - I have enough SS upstairs, these are my tube babies!! B

I think that the main hum is coming through the BlueBerry - and maybe just tube microphonics? I was thinking about putting those *** Herbie's c*ck rings thingies...take the BB hum and add to it the Dodd tube hum (which you are gonna have with all those tubes) and it is less than quiet. When I then turn on the turntable, the hum gets alot louder - you know, when you turn on the turntable and then turn up the volume? The sound is really noticeable. These components are all going through an APC

Ok, I know this is a newby question - but I just need some straight talk here- I have a new to me set of Dodd 120's, and I have found that when mated with the BlueBerry X, that the tube hum was pretty loud, as I was having to turn up the gains to maybe one o'clock and the volume to 1 or two oclock, causing some unpleasant hiss, on the 8 ohm taps So in a stroke, I decided to move to the 4 ohm taps, and of course, I don't have to turn the volume up near as high - but I am hearing some very

Hey Richard! Actually, no I was not posting at work - but I am now! Flexibility is a good thing, and I have it in abundance right now. Need to have you come over and check out the set-up, will look a lot different come Thanksgiving though, just got the stuff for the "home theater" and I am pretty excited. What do you think about the BB question? You have a Peach, do you find it to be kind of noisy? I think I might have asked you this before... B

Well I am afraid I can't be much help with any of those questions - what I know is that i am using a Jolida 100 tube CD into a Juicy Music Blueberry Extreme2, hooked to a pair of Dodd Audio 120 watt Mk2 monoblock amps (utilizing each a quad of matched KT-77's, and three 5687's) out to the GR Research LS-6 line arrays. The pair of speakers which were tested on the StereoMojo site, are *these* speakers (I got them after the write up) - I can find no futher information on the Dodds, and

The 9090 is a fantastic piece of iron, I was fortunate to pick up an old shop Sansui with about 1"of sawdust in the case for about 20 bucks. I got it home, blew it out and DeOxit the crap out of the pots, and lo! I had brought the beast back to life. I mated it to a pair of crappy looking, but glorious sounding Heresy II's in my garage, and it kicked serious fanny. I think the Sansui sound coupled with the Klipsch Heritage is a great thing, even if you dont like receivers, that 9090 pumps

Cool - I will try it and check back with the results. Thanks! B

Thanks guys- good leads all - I am gonna buy me a butt load of tubes in a little bit! This is getting ridiculous! B

Hey all, I am looking for GE 7044's (need 6 of them) for replacements/backups - anyone know wherre I can get them, matched maybe cryoed, NOS (obviously)? New to this thing - looked on Dougs tubes, and elsewhere...I thought they were supposed to be relatively easy to find, but apparently not? Thanks! B

OK - Too much power is a bad thing? Hmmm...don't know if I agree with that. I own heritage, and the full RF-7 line, and I have tried quite a few different amps, separates and receivers, so I have a few opinions on your questions. First, if you want to use the RF's for theater at any point (which they excel at, by the way) - I would go for a very good amp and pre, that also has excellent home theater surrround codecs - I personally like and swear by Sunfire products, but that is me. Obviously
