TUBES: Telefunken EL84 & ECC801 I'm sure it will be impossible to beat my military Telefunken E84L (quad) that i use now in my amp, so i'd like to avoid any new tubes made in Russia for various brands today. I'm looking only for NOS vintage tubes from the 50s or 60s. Seems like ... | |

How come only 1 or 2 cartridge makers offer a tune-up after run in? Nakatsuka-San at ZYX never tune or repair his cartridges, i think it’s sealed design. Even if you’re buyin cartridge from official dealer it can’t be repaired or retipped by Zyx, you will get absolutely new cartridge with different serial number f... | |
