| Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000 AudioResearch PH3 is still a champion under 1k.Not too user friendly, but adjustable by re-soldering resistors and same with capacitors. This tube/hybrid can kill big giants and sounds far better than all tube. | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do My thoughts should first be targeted towards amplification. Please check DC(using conventional DC voltmeter or DMM) when system at idle on the speaker terminals or buy woofers in bulk for your 7.1 system 2 per each speaker just in case. After chec... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? To add to Schubert:also lack of durability and lack of music, very hard to find sweet spot and right placement. once fabric gets old, it will sound terribleIn fact they lack more than they give. They’re different from conventional speakers as toys... | |

| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp To my experience upgrading current rectifier with better parts is quicker, smarter and cheaper approach with larger outcome. Just modifying for tube rectifier seems to be more like spiritual masturbation. Tube rectifier maybe more safe for especia... | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp 2 triode approach is trivial and similar to semiconductor diode bridge only with vacuum tubes. Each triode is treated as 2 diodes to form that trivial rectifier bridge. 2x 300b or 2A3 is probably as pricey and unwise as having 4 conventional vacuu... | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp So, it can be done, the question is why you want to do that!Well, if it's to me, than perhaps I can assume some degree of masochism as tubes get blown over 10 times faster than diode. I think the best bridge approach with vacuum tubes can actually... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple sometimes 1...2 feet is enough as well. | |
| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp ...so you need to check all 4 tubes in tube rectifier bridge if operational? | |

| For older guys I’m in mid-40’s and pulled out the same way lots of great classics for half-buck. Built a great shelf of 50’s accordion jazz with Art Van Damme, Yivette Horner, Frank Marocco, Johnny Meijer. As to Mr Relaxation, I’d probably face risk to loose my ... | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? Parasound JC2 seems to offer more performance for less money paid. Lamm products including 2.1 seem to be blown like soap bubble... In other words overly-over-valued. | |

| Mac C 22 down, need advice check if there are outboard fuses usually near the AC power cord.If not, they're internal and must be checked under the cover. As a matter of fact, the power fuses are usually next to AC power portion of the unit. If fuse is transparent, you can s... |
