  @oldhvymec I am glad that pictures work for you. IMHO making decisions or even believing that you can judge a room’s sound acoustic signature by a picture is nonsense. Clearly, I am talking about rooms that properly arranged and not with armc... 
6H30 replacement
@tomic601 Hello Jim! I reached out to Brent, hopefully he has some. If not I will get them from Upscale. How are things there?!    
6H30 replacement
@jjss49 I got 2 different answers. One that I could replace them with the 6DJ8, 6922 or 7308, and another answer that I could not. I "know" enough to know that the 6H30s have a big tolerance for plate voltage, and that if the amp is fully energiz... 
6H30 replacement
@stereo5 I checked with them. Since I am stuck with 6H30s, I will have to look at different 6H30s than the Sovteks.

"This is down to set up, something you can quickly ascertain by looking at a photo" This is another laughable nonsense. How in the world can anyone ascertain a setup from a picture? Really? Do pictures now position you in a room and allow you to...

@lemonhaze he will not. He will continue to go through life making fun of people, because since he can’t argue with facts, his only way to feel important and superior is degrading people, calling autistic people ass burgers, and making fun of anyo... 
Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature
I had a VIP and hated it too, cheaply built, the designer does not “believe” in anti-skating, can you imagine an engineer not believing in science? The tonearm fatboy has a lot to be desired. the motor is too light to keep from moving when changi... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@trentmemphis I have the Kensingtons and and Canterbury, if you plan to upgrade to the Kensingtons, and you have the space and $ got with the Canterbury, they are all that much better. I like both of them a lot. But at that price, you should look... 
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
2 Solid-Tec Rack of silence, they flex and twist more than an overcooked spaghetti. VPI signature, I tried to like like it, but never got me. there.  
Pathos Heritage
@ghasley Those 2 readings I posted are for the exact same volume setting just at about 100 hours of run time, that is what I am curious. If it was at different volume then it would not be a problem.  I am not too worried, more curious than anythi...

Tubes are good, I measured them and tried a new pair.

I hear you, I am more interested in understanding what electrically could have happened that the amp almost double SPL gain. I can't think of an electrical reason.... I understand that sound will open up and get a given signature with time but gai...

@jerryg123 we are in very good company. Once a doctor of mine who had one PhD in history and another in Autism, told me never in the history of humanity there has been an autistic person leading the world to war or genocide; and that the vast majo...

Acoustics play a big part on sound reproduction, and it is a science too. Just like with painting, music, photography, glass blowing and cooking, you need to understand and have a relationship with the basic principles that govern your art. Knowi...

@jerryg123 as you know being autistic is not easy. It is so shameful that this guy is so unkind, ignorant and callus that goes on attacking people in such pathetic way. For myself, being highly functioning autistic has proven, despite all the cha...
