| Cartridge recommendation for Pioneer PL-550 I've read that the Denon compliance specs are low (they are generally @ least double the stated spec).Don't know if it's true or consistant.A local guy successfully used a couple of Denons in the same arm I use (12.5g effective mass) but, I think ... | |

| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... On an aesthetic note (not your exact query) I miss Dieter Rams design... Though I've never owned any of his HiFi gear, unless he had a had a hand in the Braun L200/L300 which I did own.On the same note I also owned the Quad 33/303 duo, which were ... | |
| Better speakers Hey...My post the was removed for mentioning the "hippsy shippy shakes & boogaloo).Not certain why.DeKay | |
| Zu Druid V passive subwoofer augmentation Yes, bad example (just wanted you to to see the size).Here’s a self powered one by Gallo with phase and crossover controls.https://www.audiogeeks.com/stereo-hifi/speakers/gallo-acoustics-profile-subwoofer/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAoab...Thought I read about ... | |
| Zu Druid V passive subwoofer augmentation In the past year, or so, I've read about slimline "on/next to wall" powered subs -w- onboard EQ that might be an easier solution.A quick search turned up models by REL and KEF, but the name of the well reviewed one (which initially got my attentio... | |

| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? I like both, but CD's take up a lot less room/space.They should have named them Compact CD's.DeKay | |
| What did you make for Christmas? Rotisserie chicken from Ralphs (Kroeger) Market, scratch potato/cauliflower smash, petite French green beans (Trader Joe's frozen) and Ocean Spray tinned/jellied cranberry sauce.Spent many hours looking @ your Red Carpet pics.Played "The Last Days... | |
| Can AC wires on rectifier to be reversed and still work? Kind of OT, but the last page (29) of the 405 repair manual in the following link shows how to wire the PT for various power ratings (110/120/130 et cetera).I find the 130V interesting, considering how USA AC voltage has been creeping up over the ... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? PS:You could also try soft footers under the new SS amp, which per my experience trying them under a Musical Fidelity X-A1 plumbed up the LF's making the HF's less prominent in the balance.Pretty sure I tried Vibropods under the MF, but they could... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Funny...Try something different under it and see what changes soundwise.Since I stopped experimenting (15+++ years ago) I now have an assortment of plastic cutting boards because people give me all kinds of sh/stuff.Actually the plastic ones are n... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Yes, they have for me...Hard cones/ball bearings brighten up the sound VS soft footers (less/tighter bass/more detail), but they are a mixed bag.Just rec'd trying something cheap/free as it seems to me that you like the Jolida, but just want a bit... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? soundchasr:Sorry I didn't get back sooner.Assuming that the sound of the tubes in a "buffer" is similar to what they would be like in the gain stage of an amplifier the GE 5751's were a good reasonably priced pick if you were aiming for more clari... |
