Best Methods For Removing Dust From Drivers...?
AC/DC played loud 
My tube amp sounds darker now.
I have never heard Siemen CCA tubes descibed as dark sounding, therefore, I would borrow some interconnects to try out before purchasing. Which tube preamp are you using? 
Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing
ATF works in well type besarings but not inverted bearings. 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
I own quite a few Cary products and I have never had a problem with getting help or advice from Cary. I am old school; therefore, I generally pick up the phone instead of using email when contacting Cary. I have a lot of friends who use Cary produ... 
Mastersound Compact 845 with Pvsane 845T
I agree with everything that Phil wrote especially about new caps. I recapped my 845 amp with both teflon V-Caps which once broken in, offer the amp more speed and transparency. I also tried Mundorf M-CAP Supreme Silver / Gold & Oil caps which... 
Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing
Super lube is synthetic oil impregnated with teflon as a thickener to form a grease. Magic Lube is a Teflon based product with no mention of the suspension agent. Since Magic Lube forms a seal, I would guess that it contains some form of silicone.

Bpoletti, use lithium grease for inverted bearings and synthetic oil for well type bearing. VPI recommends Mobile 1 for their well bearing tables.

Mastersound Compact 845 with Pvsane 845T
Why doesn't someone simply ask Mastersound to provide the Compact 845's operating specs for the 845 tube???? I know of a couple of Mastersound owners who use the Shuguang 845B tube which has the same operating specs as the Psvane 845. Is the Maste...
