Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!!
@wolf_garcia No blue glow but very musical. And cheap...if you can find them. eBay is the only place I've found them now. I bought my last set from Cryoset which is not in business anymore 
Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!!
@wolf_garcia I had been switching back & forth from Gold Lion KT-66 to the Russian 6p3se/6n3ce. The 6p3se sounded similar to the KT-66. Great bargain IMO. Yeah, gotta love that blue glow. 
Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!!
@tuberistI read 2 threads about these tubes and most everyone  said something similar to what you have said. And I am overall satisfied because I think it is the dynamics which are causing  what appears as brightness. And its just that one part in...

Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@cleedsBut digitizing an LP is so tedious and time-consuming I’d typically rather stream or play my existing digital files than endure the LP-to-digital transfer processI’m beginning to see your point. The more I learn, the more I see the work inv... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@cleeds I’m not doing this to preserve the LP’s. Just like cassettes that I used to record too, these will be played on a different (& easier) medium. I too have 50-60 yr old records. And you are correct that they play fine. But at 69 yrs old ... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@herman  People complain because a service costs $15-20 a month. Are you kidding me? I used to spend sometimes hundreds a month on discs and vinyl for a few titles. Good point. One difference is that you get to own the disks on tangible media. I... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@herman Thanks for the info. I'll check out the Focusrite. Funny thing is that as I traverse the digital terrain, it seems to be more work to get there than the old fashioned way of vinyl. I remember recording to cassette and how time consuming it... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@o_holter Wow! That may be the best alternative for me. Transferring files to CF, SD or USB drive would save me a lot of trouble. Plus the ability to record my vinyl as needed. I have plenty of music so I don’t need to stream paid services via net... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@herman @pjr801. This has nothing to do with sound quality and all to do with getting older and not wanting to do the vinyl dance all the time. Yes, I love my vinyl. And if CDP’s were still available, I would just burn my Flacs to CD. But the tren...

Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@almarg I have a Peavey 20 channel  mixer with USB out. I have RCA in on 2 channels. I suspect I could plug the phono pre into the Peavey board and output from USB to the computer using audacity. Does that sound like a solution? It is a pro grade ... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
@almarg    Thanks for the info & link. As usual I figure a $1  budget and the real cost is  $8. That's the problem with a champagne taste with a beer pocket book. LOL. Now, where to find that other $7 
Fairly new to streaming. Where to start?
A hearty good day and thanks for all the info. I am digesting it all at this time.  As you can see, I'm not an impulsive buyer. I have considered the WXC 50 Yamaha, Node 2 and now Aurender as a server. Probably after that, a R2R Dac, I know the Au...
