| Shipping 80lb amps. I will also add one suggestion as a shipper. Skip insurance. If you ever have to make a claim, you'll be making $2/hour for all the time you spend on it, not to mention frustration. Instead box it so they CAN'T break it. Jerry | |
| Rolling Mullard 6DJ8 into GE 5670 Application I’ll be interested in your results. I have an amp that uses 6DJ8. I am currently using WE 396A with an adapter. I have never tried the Mullards. I will say that I’ve found the red tip Russian 6N5P to be a pretty good option you might roll in some... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @lalitk As the owner of a chord Dave I’ve been looking and reading about power supplies for quite some time. I’m a big believer in a good power supply. Many have reported that the power supply in Dave though small in size, indeed performs well an... | |
| HMMM. Without looking at it I am 100% sure I could fix it. I am equally sure that 90%+ of auciogoneers couldn't. So figure out where you fit in the spectrum. | |

| Chord Dave and lInear power supply BTW, how warm does the Farad Super 3 power supply run? Some of the small power supplies run warmer than I like to see. thanks. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I am a big believer that the power supply can be extremely important to quality musical component and always key in an amplifirer. Some lower power equipment can have a quality on-board power supply. I was just talking to a friend today and h... | |
| Fraud /SCAM I use paypal shipping. So the paypal issue is a non-issue. 17 lb sounds much more likely for an oppo player than 1.7 lbs. My guess is UPS misdelivered it. Sure you should be wondering if they seller is a fraud but posting it conclusively is wa... | |
| Fixing Wall Shudder The good news is that non-load bearing walls are easy to replace. | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Yep. PC is a no go. Think aobut roon. I love it. You'll need a dedicated computer for the core (use ROCK) but you can try it temp installed on any computer. Then use your phone to control. If you go roon you can use a simple streamer such ... | |
| BAT VK-51SE in the rig! I would take that as a tube rolling challenge. | |
