jj 6922 vs jj 6922 gold pins
Tubes can also be low noise without the gold pins. From everything that I have read and from my own personal experience, gold pins do not offer any sonic advantage. However, they are more resistant to corrosion. 
Beatles mono box as "limited edition"
I received a flyer from Music Direct that stated that the mono versions will not be available as individual CD's, which I think sucks! The Beatles website states that it will be limited to only 10,000 units in the USA. 
Upgrade: Speakers or Amp. mod?

Speaker hum
If your receiver was tubed, I might say it is a bad tube. It sounds like RFI which can be hard to track. It can be caused by computers of televisions creating interference with the signal to the receiver. Make sure the cables aren't resting too cl...

Birddog, I think he is saying it is worthless, which is not true. 
cable choice???
I would suggest a pair of Anticables interconnects. They provide good sound quality and are inexpensive. They should tide you over nicely until you can purchase the Cardas. I switched from Cardas Golden Cross to Anticables. After listening to them... 
Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?

Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?

Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?
The mono set doesn't have Abbey Road, Let it Be, and Yellow submarine which were only recorded in stereo. It's kind of strange that Amazon has a higher pricing for the mono versions vs the stereo versions.

Absolutely!! I kind of wish that the release dates were staggered only because I know I am going to purchase them all. Just want to say that it scares me when people that supposedly have an ear for music say they don't like the Beatles music. 
Beatlemania "With the Beatles" Capitol Rainbow
