I've been listening to my tubelab SE for a while now and to say this thing sounds great is an understatement.

I have been using a ss amp to supplement the lowest frequencies, about 100 hz down. I tried a pllxo before the tubelab amp to filter out the lowest frequencies and did not like the results. Maybe the cheap caps I used were the culprit.

I am thinking of just changing the coupling caps in the amp for a 0.1 uf caps. Is this a valid idea? It would still allow the lowest frequencies to get to the input tube, but would leave out the extra caps that a pllxo would add.
Thanks as always..Evan

I ran my system active for some time and feel that I like the sound better when I use my active crossover for only the lowest frequencies, and let the signal go right to the main amp. I tried a first order passive line level crossover and did not love the sound. Again maybe this was due to me using a cheap film cap. Going the less is more route it seems if I could attenuate the lowest frequencies by adjusting the value of a part that is all ready in the signal path it would be better then adding another capacitor to the signal path....
