| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? I had a Telefunken 12ax7 tube go out on me in the V4 (R) position of my Aesthetix Rhea, so I replaced the pair with stock Sovtek 12ax7WBs. Do I need to replace the Teles with a matched pair, or can I just pick up a single and throw it in. You can ... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @chakster thanks, I already own the SAEC SS-180 mat. SAES SS-300 or MICRO CU-180 :) You mixed up the brands and numbers | |
| Age of masters Not yet, but a bunch of NOS cassettes already purchased.I think the JVC stereo VCR is what you need @inna | |
| what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience? Yeah, those "best" are over $100 each now | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? I’m hoping Musical Surroundings, the Hana US Distributor, will take pity on me and either repair/replace the cartridge, or give me full (or better than 20%) trade-in for another cartridge. Yeah, it's rip-off. Trade-in value must be at least 40% | |
| Up grade to a new turntable Here in Australia, there only a few turntables available!!, at my price, as I’m on a pension! Better high-end turntables for lower price for you: Technics SL1200G for $4000 or SL1200GR for $1700 | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? I would like to hear what Hana or the dealer does. Historically, because it is so easy to damage a cartridge, unless the cartridge is brand new they will laugh at you. The stylus is not damaged, but suspension collapsed too early. They can acce... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? That is too bad for sure i have used cartridges from the seventies and their suspensions are still as good as new makes me wonder if something else caused the problem or they are not made to last. Same here, carts from the 70's, 80's and 90's i... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? Don't send your Hana cartridge to re-tippers! It's the worst you can do, once they will touch it you will not be able to send it to the manufacturer.Contact the manufacturer first and let them fix or upgrade you with genuine cartridge. This is rel... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story I'm sorry, but how many people can say this turntable is beautiful ? I'm just curious. This taste in high-end just killing me. With all my respect I can't say it's beautiful, quite opposite. So many years of tweaking just to have this in the sys... | |
| New to vinyl - How to get the best out of old classical discs? @vinylshadow"Hahaha. I can’t believe I’m reading about springs again, it’s almost in every thread already. Unbelievable.Maybe because it works? Believable. Works for whom? For you with your turntable? What is your turntable and who designed it if ... | |
| New to vinyl - How to get the best out of old classical discs? Sounds like I should start with the cart and maybe wait a bit to buy an ‘investment’ phono stage. Right, this one is perfect, but Americans don't know about it now, but earlier it was a Swiss made highly regarded phono stage, now it's cheaper, b... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? Send your cartridge back to the Japanese manufacturer via your distributor. It has nothing to do with retip! Upgrade to a higher model with them if they can’t change or tune your collapsed suspension, most likely they will offer you a special disc... | |
| New to vinyl - How to get the best out of old classical discs? Hahaha. I can’t believe I’m reading about springs again, it’s almost in every thread already. Unbelievable. Nothing will change the sound more than a good cartridge in your current set up @bluemountain. | |
| Blackbird 12.5" Tonearm: revised with DIN Connector. Whether Russia or China I can no longer in good faith dealwith countries who's actions negatively affect so many others. You have to divide PEOPLE from GOVERNMENT in totalitarian countries like Russia, because not everyone share the ideology of... |
