| Who can tell me the sizes of a Basis Debut MK-5 ? Unless Basis has changed their design since my three Debut Gold's, your better off with a Debut Gold IV than a V. The platter weight was cut on the model V allowing the same platter to be used on several (lower priced) models. I'm sure it makes se... | |

| Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies? My wife disagrees with me so we haven't spoken in weeks.Regardless of the Audiogon community "vote" you have already made me to laugh out loud this morning. Fortunately your disagreement wasn't on a more serious topic, we might be reading about yo... | |
| My transport has "tuning dots" what are these? Likely they are Marigo dots. Colors include black, green and white. There are several diameters depending on what the "tuner guy" intended.I have used them and they are definitely audible. | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Sirspeedy, I have great respect for Classe, Jeff Rowland, Gryphon and several other high end transistor amps. Had I chosen Maggie 20.1 instead of the Dali Megaline, I might be running Classe Omega mono blocks instead of my current VTL 750's. In fa... | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Sirspeedy, and I respectfully disagree with you.Whatever amount of tubes needed to do the job is how many is required. I do have solid state TV and surround amps, but there is not another piece that I can displace a tube with a solid state device.... | |
| Can you have too many tubes? You're going after 33 Mullard EL-34's?!!! Did I mention that I am your long lost brother, cousin, nephew, uncle [pick one]?Truth is, I am still planning a test with 2 pair of Air Tight ATM-3 mono's (instead of 1 pair of ATM-3's plus 1 pair of VTL ... | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Ellery911, now your compliments are embarrassing me :^).I use all those tubes because the designer of each of those pieces of gear thought that was the quantity needed. I do have a lot of spare tubes in my inventory, maybe two hundred ?Some are re... | |
| Under the Boardwalk Since it was being played on the radio perhaps it's new? AMG says the most recent is from Lynn Anderson (Country). | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Sorry, my error. I meant to say RCA 5751 and my fingers automatically typed 5692 (one of my favorite tubes !)Good catch ! | |
| signs your pramp and power tubes need replacement Could you provide a few more details? What you describe could be almost anything. A list of associated equipment and a description of recent changes would help. | |
| Can you have too many tubes? ....that must be audio heaven on earth! I heard those Dalis at the CES...I would put them in the coveted "state of the art" category...with tubes. I was mesmerized. Heard them the next year, with SS...ugh! I couldn't believe that it was the same s... | |
| Can you have too many tubes? My stereo requires 110 tubes and when my new open reel tape machine arrives, it will be 124 tubes :^). As Rushton says, it's balance and musicality that matter. Don't worry about how many tubes, just how it sounds. | |
| New tubes, possible matching difficulties The ultimate upgrade for the Viva Aurora is putting 1943 US Navy Sylvania 6SL7 tubes in place of the original Russian tubes.I bought mine at Upscale Audio. Might check and see if they have any left. | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Joe S is a friend of mine, we have spent dozens of hours on the phone over the last few years and traded countless emails. Joe is a VERY intelligent person and a very careful listener. His reference speakers and amplifiers are the ones I sold him,... |
