recording to Reel to Reel directly from "preamp out"
I tend to think yes, if there is a R&L channel output & maybe a switch. After all, I believe that is whats happening with a tape loop with the Monitor which is for convenience I believe. I've recorded a bunch of tapes but bever like this. ... 
Current deals to good to pass up!
@b_limo all you seasoned audiophile curmudgeons who already ghave end game systems need not reply! Your systems don’t look too shabby "Whippersnapper" (-:Here’s one we all misssed yesterday. It went for $3200. Kuzma 4Point 14, like new condition...

Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?
Just remember this. You are NOT alone or wierd. Everyone goes through some dark times. @ oldhvymec has given very good advice. @hilde45 also. Everybody gets some heartache in life. Nothing will save you from it IMO. But we get through it, usually... 
New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :)))
The speakers don't care if you play vinyl or a cd or tape.. Try to be specific in what you want from the speakers. What kind of music do you mostly play? What is the room size? IOW if you have a large room you probably don't want monitor type. Wit... 
Attaching a Rel T9i to a Krell 402e.
@lak has given you what you need to know. The short of it is to use the high input with the Neutrik connector. Each sub hooked to 1 channel R & L. Rel is usually good about trouble shooting but just in case I'll tell you that it is recommended... 
Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year
Wow! Been nursing a cold for the last 4-5 days. My wife has been by my side....doing the same. She gave it to me. Oh well. On our 3rd bottle of "elixer" (small bottles) Summer colds suck.Anywayt, I haven’t kept up with the thread nor taken care of... 
Broke key guide on 6sn7 how to keep using tube
If you have the original key from that tube it should align to the tube like a puzzle. IOW, there should only be one way to attach it back. At least that was the way it was with my KT88 that had the same  damage. However I can see that the 6sn7 wo... 
New power tubes lacking low end and slam
Burn in can be a painful process. I've been known to walk out of the room because I couldn't stand the sound. Just let them burn in. They will change.. if they are the same tube they should sound the same after burn in. 
Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews.
I'm more bothered by the acronyms that are so pervasive in modern writing, Than the overuse of commas. They are  mostly on BB's. But I've seen them in other places also. 
Car Audio and the High End
I used to always change out the factory system in the car because they weren't tat good. New head & speakers. But today, many of the cars have decent enough systems in them that I don't need to do so. The caveat to this is that I don't expect ... 
Returning to audiophilism after 20 years: a little guidance would be nice :-)
But I am interested in the current vinyl vs digital discussion (has digital/streaming earned its place compared to vinyl, does it hold its own) so I can start exploring in a good direction. IMO, Digital vs analog has not really advanced since t... 
CD Player Tweak
As @petg60 has said, the footers can make a nice difference. The first tweak that got my attention were footers under my CDP. Cost $2. The tweak...Pumice Stone. It's used for pedicures. You can find it in the health & Beauty section of many st... 
How much difference does a phono preamp really make?
@ audionoobie OP I didn’t say that the cart is the most important component. My apologies for the confusion. I know you did not say that. But others have. The lack of logic in the idea that the cartridge is most important is what I was trying to... 
How much difference does a phono preamp really make?
IF The cartridge is the most important, then why buy a good TT & tonearm first ? Well, there is a reason why. IT AIN"T SO. IF the cart was the most important, people would build their vinyl rig around it. BUT THEY DON"T.So, OP If you buy the h...
