| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII Yes- that is a common complaint, and I think one worth addressing on older gear. | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Good luck- I'm not a fan of cryro for tubes myself. I would expect them to have a shorter life span. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I get the impression from the glowing adoration of horns by some here that their significant shortcomings are being ignoredI can speak for myself in that such is certainly not the case. Horns can sound as good or as bad as anything else. | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems If you don't buy one that's just more for me. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? With tape everything stays within the domain of electromagnetic energy, with vinyl there is a conversion of mechanical energy. Do you think nothing is altered in the conversion ?@inna There is a conversion of an electrical signal to magnetic, an... | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Well I can do that! Your monikers are easy to see :) | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems No school like the old school | |

| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems +1 on that.New Sensor bought the Mullard trademark so their stuff isn't 'fake' but it does not hold up like the original Mullard rectifier did in the ST-70. | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems If you want longer rectifier life, look for a Mullard made in the UK. Beware of fakes on ebay.I would also look at the cost and compare that to the garden variety. If its more than 4 times the cost, I would just buy the cheaper tubes and get a bun... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII The SCA-35 is certainly musical. But I don't think its strengths are realized on many systems. Dynaco imposed come compromise on the circuit but some of them are easily fixed. The speaker terminals are a pain... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Besides, what about 1/2" tape machines ?They're awesome! Not many titles available, but you can record your own. The format is a bit pricey... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions Most of our Quad customers run the M-60. If its the ESL63, the MA-1 can drive the speaker louder than any other amp before the stock limiters kick in. If you've upgraded the protection that's a different story.If stacked ESL57s the M-60 is the onl... |
