Embarrassing Tube Story
Reminds me that I need to have the Tung-Sol 6sn7GT's tested. From what I have read they are more forward sounding then the old RCA/Sylvania 5692's. Might be a good match/nice change if used in combination with the 5692's.I will swing by Armetron w... 
Procedure for setting arm for Thorens TD165
Antiskate is adjusted by a hanging weight. If you don't have this item you can make one from a piece of shiny/finished thread (-w- a loop @ one end and a weight of your choice secured @ the other end). The weight should be approx. 5 grams, which i... 
Which cables go with what?????
I suggest that this thread be deleted due to an overwhelming influence by either the heat, or more likely the economy. 
Which cables go with what?????
Cornfed:Boring can sometimes be excellent (Henning Mankell novels for example).Now if you will, please do "jaded" (which though never excellent, is often entertaining:-). 
Dynaco owners please comment
Just a guess, but your 120C may be an upgraded or modified unit (or perhaps a later version). I recall Panor (sp) selling various revised Dynaco models in the past 10 years (tube amps/preamps and something based on the SS 150, I think).I am not fa...

Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Abex: This is 47's new line of cables. As far as I know they are not sold as a kit, but are factory terminated.Where as a single OTA "kit" can often equip two simple stereo systems with IC's and speaker cable, these are quite a bit more expensive ... 
Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............
Don't feel bad Ben. I blew off the Beatle's reunion which took place on 04/01/74 @ the K-Mart Mall (Iowa City, IA) because I thought the whole thing to be an April Fool's Day joke. 
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
Tom:Yes, why not hook it up in the BR for starters if you have a place to set it?The following is a link to an inexpensive phono preamp that looks interesting (the $300 version offered in the US). Not familar with it myself, just recently ran acro... 
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
Hi Tom:No one has mentioned this, but if the 1700 is properly adjusted (and the stylus is in good shape) I doubt that it will do any harm to your LP's.I would just not play it too loudly due to the rumble spec's, which are quite high for a belt dr...

Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
