Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision
The Well Tempered Amadeus/equivalent includes a phenomenal tonearm and costs in the low to mid $3K range. (Certainly I am hooked as I have three of them in various systems!) That leaves you with a significant amount of money to spend on many excel...

Luxman PD-441 Needs Service
Yes, all of the caps were replaced along with several other parts. The problem appeared to be corrected; the table ran at 33 and at 45 for hours-long periods without a hitch. Then the next day when the table was turned on and tested, the speed loc...

Rec a 300B for Wavelength Cardinal Monoblocks
Hi Charles - Thank you for your guidance on all of those tubes, many of which I knew nothing about. Completely agree that listening in my amp and in my system is the best way to go. Hopefully I can find "the tube" without too much $$$ lost to tria... 
Rec a 300B for Wavelength Cardinal Monoblocks
Abill - I'll bet your Trition Blue sounds wonderful with those WE 300B's. One of the options I am considering is the less costly 300B tubes made(?)/used by Line Magnetic in some of their amplifier offerings. If I understand correctly, the LM 300B ...
