speaker cables with a warm sound
Hello Kt 88. My system is totally different now. Love what I'm hearing. Still running the Planet and a Heybrook TT2 table, a DIY passive pre and a pair of VAC PA160 mkII's, through Mirage MRM-1 Reference Monitors. Still running Truthlinks, switche... 
6L6 tube?
I don't have experience myself, but a friend of mine has been using 6L6's in his VAC PA160 mkII monos. He recently switched back to the 6L6's from el-34's and made the following observations:"I put the 6L6's back in last night, and they are a much... 
Why didn't the DAD format take off??
If I'm not mistaken, DAD stands for Digital recording, Analog mastering and Digital release. I'm guessing that mastering with digital gear has become cheaper and easier than mastering with analog gear. Somebody straighten me out here if I'm way of... 
Coolest looking speaker ever ?
A lesser known speaker, the Rosinante Gabriel. Check out this link: http://www.roomlens.com/Gabrielle.htmlMy favorite though, is the Nautilus. 
Ultralinear vs. Triode
I have a pair of VAC PA160 mkII monoblocks. They can be run in triode, ultralinear and pentode, feedback is also adjustable. Running el-34's in triode with no feedback yielded the sweetest mid's, but was lacking in dynamic punch. Running the el-34... 
Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?
Jeffloistarca, I understand your point. It's a pet peeve, just the way Ebay references bug me. Good point about never having a deal fall through. I've never had one spoil. I wouldn't consider myself a penny-pincher, seeing how I drop almost all my... 
Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?
Wait a minute, Jeffloistarca. I do the "sale pending" thing. Nobody posts like that upfront. That is a tag added when a sale is pending. If the deal falls through, I remove the "sale pending" tag. That way I don't waste other people's time who are...

Okay, so I am a righteous goon. Bad day at work, I guess. I'm all for the capitalist way. Just had a bad case of "pretentious a**hole" or something. No bad feelings meant towards anyone. Please accept my humble appology. 
Copper for Solid State / Silver for Tubes ?
Here is the only GOLDEN RULE for cabling - "If it sounds right to you, then it's the right cable." Only you're own empirical data can decide what works best. Erik 
How much bearing oil?
Again, thanks for the responses. The Heybrook bearing appears to be similar to the Lynn. I'll be tinkering with it the next couple of nights, hopefully spinning vinyl this weekend. Cheers. 
Dupont Corian for Isolation
Corian is nothing like acrylic. It is more like synthetic stone. From what I understand, it actually converts vibration into heat. My only personal experience is with my speakers. I have a pair of Mirage MRM-1 Reference Monitors. The drivers are m... 
How much bearing oil?
Lugnut, thanks for the procedure. I've never seen an LP12 bearing assembly, so I don't know how similar they are. But your procedure sounds like a winner. How come I didn't think of that? Duh. Take care and happy listening. 
Parts Connection - Now where do I find parts?
Same company, new owners, if I'm not mistaken:http://www.partsconnexion.com/Similar source:http://www.partsexpress.com/Happy listening. 
Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions.
Mirage MRM-1 Reference Monitors. Great in small listening rooms. For moving convenience, they come in their own little wooden crates.
