| Antique Sound Labs They were the "Wave 8". A friend had a pair that he liked (tested a batch of Svetlana 6BM8’s purchased for them). He never brought the amps up from Palm Springs (I live in the Los Angeles are) so never heard them. If you are in the market for s... | |

| All In One Recommendations Hi Joe: Doing well. Recently turned 67, but decided to defer to Daylight Savings mentality (so still 66 until this coming Spring:-). I know Zip about streaming, so no advice as that goes. The Slee phono I tried (years ago) was MM only, but it ... | |
| All In One Recommendations Perhaps a different approach??? Find an integrated amp with the "all" digital stuff that will mate well with her speakers and then add a decent outboard MM/HOMC preamp. I'm thinking of Gram Slee (sp?) for the phono, but there are many opti... | |

| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Look for a used pair of used Reynaud Twin MK II's (currently listed in the $500-$850 range). I ran a pair in a much larger room with a 300B DH/SET amp (figure 7 usable watts, or so). The $500 pair listed on USaudiomart are indeed the MkII ... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes LH: Found it here, and it has to do with the bias design of the amp (so something to check out). https://upscaleaudio.com/products/gold-lion-n709-el84-new-production PS: I played electric guitar from the early 60's to 198... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes There's a blurb (somewhere) about the Gold Lion N709/EL84 not lasting long in certain amp designs. Been to so many tube sites I don't recall which one, but think it was a dealer. DeKay | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! JW: My electronics are located outside the listening room (in a hall closet located behind the speaker wall in the living room). I drilled 4 small holes through the double wall to run speaker cable to the living room. Various footers a... | |

| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! I tried it once, but may have gone a tad overboard... DeKay | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes You might try Upscale Audio as they rep Manley gear and they also sell tubes. Think the early Stingray amps came with EI (Yugoslavia) EL84's. They have not been produced for years, but Upscale has them in stock. I used the EI's in a Pi... |
