| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? The quality standards that Sugarbrie attributes to his Mom is exactly why tubes of that era were so special. The Germans, Dutch, British and Americans were all doing their absolute best to build the ultimate tubes that could be manufactured. Back ... | |
| Tubes for my Mac's 275....NOS or just used? My advice is seek out a seller that has a reputation for selling tubes with lots of positive feedback. Be sure specifications are included in seller description such as test results and remaining life and maybe a money back guarantee offer?Photo's... | |
| Tubes for my Mac's 275....NOS or just used? I just bought 4 new Telefunken 12AX7's at Ebay for $164.00. That's $41.00 apiece. I've seen current production 12AX7's for that much.I've had very good luck with Ebay, look closely at product description and seller feedback. | |
| Help w/sale to Ireland, please. Need quick answer Absolutely correct. Still that wastes our time and fighting with a big company like UPS or FedEx is like fighting city hall.I prefer to not put myself in a position to have the problem occur in the first place. If everyone was as honest and you an... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Is it OK for me to say I love my SME 312S ? I know, boring compared to emergency brakes. However, at this stage I have nothing else to "pedal." I'm going to bow out and give you guys an emergency brake.After lunch break for you | |
| Help w/sale to Ireland, please. Need quick answer I don't question you Elberoth, just posting my experience with FedEx and UPS at the USA end.If I could be 100% certain that putting my number in the tax slot would not hammer me one day, I would not worry about it. The problem comes not from you, ... | |
| Dr. Ebbetts Beatles CD's Agree with Cyclonicman.There is at least one other reason people like mono. With a true mono record and tracking with a true mono cartridge you get less noise and pops than if played with a stereo pickup. Stereo cartridges pick up from both side a... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Hey, that's as good a response as any other, "Sir." Don't let that keep you from watching "Law and Order" they use that term to great effect.Now if you had been referring to him as "Speedy" I would have known where you were coming from. No confusi... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I just looked them up at WIki, they are from Belgium. No wonder they are working out of the norm. Too many USA groups are stuck in the same tired formula's for making music. Of course there are exceptions but it's nice to hear music that shakes up... | |
| usng personal computer for music? Perfect answer Michael. I started typing a similar answer and got distracted with Ebay auction for tubes and when I got back, your answer was here :^).I think there are going to be a lot of people using computers into their stereo's as time goes o... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I visited their web site:http://www.hooverphonic.com/Must admit, they sounded very good to me, I will probably research them on the web and see what formats their music is available in. I had poor luck at AMG getting their songs to play. Could be ... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms With all these "Sirs," being bantered about, I feel like I'm in season one of Law and Order and listening to Michael Moriarty trying to face down a criminal.Anyone else ever get that feeling? | |
| Tubes for my Mac's 275....NOS or just used? NOS is supposed to mean New Old Stock, new meaning zero hours (brand new).There are tubes that fit this description but not as many as advertised. Many sold as NOS are in fact used tubes. That being said, used tubes that test new are typically low... | |
| Help w/sale to Ireland, please. Need quick answer If the buyer does not pay local taxes, he will not get the item. The item will be returned to the seller. There is NO WAY the seller being charged import duties or other taxes.Strangely enough Elberoth2, Tiger is correct and you are wrong. I found... | |
| Dr. Ebbetts Beatles CD's You all are admitting to a crime here I hope you konw that. If the cd's are not licensed by EMI for release they are BOOTLEGS and are illegal to manufacture, sell, and to purchase.I did not buy anything, much less these CD's. I responded with a li... |
