| This is no joke. Musicnoise & Mickeyf:You guys/girls (difficult to tell on the WWW) creep me out, by your justification of what you think is OK to post in a forum such as this. | |
| This is no joke. Musicnoise:You and Mickeyf should be banned from using this site.Per your postings the two of you are sorry examples of mankind. | |
| what type of sand to use? Silica sand it what you are looking for. Should be fairly easy to find, as it's used for sand blasting (bone dry if stored properly and inexpensive).Wear a breathing mask/cloth when pouring it as the dust is not something you want to inhail. Perfo... | |
| Amp to compliment Sonic Frontiers pre?? The SFL-1 is far from rolled off in the HF's, but if your Brimar's are from the 50's production they may help.If not (later Brimar versions are cleaner/crisper) look for older RCA Black plate 12au7's, assume they are not pricey, but have not purch... | |
| To twist or not to twist They sound better (to me) in separate parallel runs. Ran shotguuned 4vs and 4tc, years ago, with Castle Isis and Linn Tukan.If you have extra length to the cables try bunching up each run (this loosens the weave).This is easily reversed by pulling... | |
| Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand Philo:Listen to online samples @ Amazon of Last Forever "Trainfare Home". The CD is out of print, but good/used units can be found for $10, or so. | |
| What tubes for sibilant SET Triode amp I didn't realize that you are Switzerland based. Add Philips Miniwatt 6dj8 to the list as they should be fairly common on your Ebay.I'd also like to note that using Siemens 6922 types in my old Audion (300B/5687/6922) amp caused sibilance, therefo... | |
| What tubes for sibilant SET Triode amp Start by changing the input tube.If you want a rich/full 3D sound try Amperex solid dimpled disc getter 6dj8. Mullard made one as well (with a "G" factory code I think).Slightly less full, but just as good is the Amperex Orange Globe label 6dj8.Th... | |
| Hickok TV-7/U owners 6bq5 is: 6.3 EV2-7930 30 C (press 3/minimum 50).But, best to wait for someone to confirm the settings. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Bye:You are welcome.Heard Harry passed away, few years ago I think, but it would seem he's still present and accounted for.Have not been to Venice in years, though we may visit next week (will be going to Venice and Motor, which is close enough).I... | |
| Best cheap record cleaning system? The spin wash makes sense as you want to flush away hard foreign particles before using a brush (which simply grinds the LP with any such particles present).The "hooker" comment is a retake on a Henny Youngman joke (the original punchline was "Pai... | |
| Best cheap record cleaning system? A hooker told me she'd do anything for $50. I told her, "Clean my records, all 3000 of them".I use a Groovmaster kit (used to sell for $30-$35), warm filtered tap water and DIY cleaning solution.Sometimes I use an old Water Pik for stubborn spots. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers The skating guitar player was Harry Perry. | |
| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... Malcolm McLaren "Paris" is a sure shot. | |
| Covered my TV...What next? Dress up in women's clothes while listening, for @ least a 200%-300% improvement in sound quality. Always assumed Tom Gillette does this on a regular basis. |
