We can do service if that helps. 
RIAA vs Columbia vs Decca
Chakster, I can't agree with you on the above statement. The reason why is the labels did not choose the EQ curve. The manufacturer of the cutterhead electronics did. For example we use the Westerex 3D cutterhead and the 1700 electronics. The EQ c... 
What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice?
Both! You can't see the forest through the trees?These are both in reference to a source with a weak tube output stage, geeeeish!!And don't even come into play if the source has a good low solid state output impedance.I can see forests pretty well... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
however we do Not agree with your comment “proven effective for the past 6 decades”. If you are implying ‘sixty years’ of vibration management in audio;To the best of our knowledge:Audio Points was the second ever conical shaped product in the aud... 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
^^ yes we say funny things because we have a sense of humor. 
CJ PV-2ar or PV-7 or ARC SP-6 for Klipsch Heresy?
If an original set, you really want to think about a tube amp too- the crossovers in that speaker don't work so well with amps with a low output impedance- as a result the horns can be operating out of band, part of the reason for the 'shoutiness'... 
What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice?
In fact passives are usually better if they are full up, as there is less shunt resistance to ground, so the source (if a weak tube output) sees an even easier load, which equals better dynamics for them. Passives sound just the same down low as t... 
Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s
Pani, based on your post above I think the problem is you just don't have enough power.So you might want to consider a more efficient loudspeaker or a more powerful amplifier. The problem is that you have heard what OTLs do and you are not going t...

I didn't know MAC used ringers.At the time they only had one other person playing bass. So they came to my high school looking for recruits as we were close by and our orchestra was the best high school orchestra in the state. Times sure have chan... 
looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar
Ralph, theory is fine, but the fact is that even our mother planet has a resonant frequency. I fear that it's a bit utopian to expect an armwand to accomplish what our planet cannot do (to dissipate all vibrations into heat).Our planet is supposed... 
What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice?
Cost really doesn't have much to do with it- how good it sounds does. Many preamps have a price tag that is not in line with how they sound. I've seen $2000 preamps take $13,000 preamps and eat them for breakfast- better in every way. Yet people w...

"the last one I played before I went back to tubes" :)

Schubert, I played string bass in a local high school and was recruited to also play in the Mac Orchestra when I was a senior in high school. I continued to play there for a couple of years and also in the St. Paul Civic Orchestra, also conducted ... 
Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s
Some obvious speaker recommendations are the Classic Audio Loudspeakers, also Audiokinesis. We've used both at shows with our OTLs of similar power to excellent effect!Any speaker that is at least 8 ohms in the bass region (without dips below 6 oh...

Are you Norwegian? Nope. We moved here in 1970 from North Carolina.
