| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Glen: Sounds like a bank screwup to me and hope all works out for both of you. We bank with Washington Mutual in CA and trust me the EE's @ my branch are clueless (including the manager). I worked for a large clearings bank and the Federal Reserve... | |
| 7308 tube code question I also have these tubes and if NOS they will require a minimum of 30-40 hours, or so, of use for the bass to kick in and for them to open up. In gear that runs them easy you may have to double this - plus. Just to say, give them some time. This wa... | |
| Cat 5 cables, your experience I tried a friends in my setup (the full blown CAT 5's) and $3/ft Kimber Kable 4VS sounded quite a bit better as far as balance and general musical enjoyment goes. The 5's exhibited a compressed, uneven quality (lot's of bass, but also lacking deta... | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Nope: My bank once placed stop payments on two cashier's (in error). They were supposed to be placing them on the two checks that I had misplaced (not the two replacements that they had just issued:-{. Cashier's checks are not a sure thing. By the... | |
| Help with B&O MMC 20 EL cartridge In LA @ the Beverly Hills dealer B&O cartridges are selling @ 50-60% off list per a friend looking to revive a Beo 3000 TT. Might want to check this out. | |
| Beginner in Vinyl - How far should I go? Lenny: If you want great sound on a low budget, then you have to be patient and wait for the good deals to come. I am currently using a Thorens TD125 MkII with an SME 3009 II arm that I purchased used for $219 shipped (Ebay auction). For a good bu... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Psychic: Doug told me about his "side" tables quite some time ago and it's a story that has proved impossible to forget. I also have some old Janszen speakers (with electrostatic tweeters) that a local record dealer gave me. I figured that I might... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Psychic: I think that Doug (Sedond) came up with a better use for them. He uses them for bedside tables (guess that he also has the original stands). That said, if you can repair them for $150 they should be fun to play around with (this is a hobb... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Ian: I happen to know that Tubegroover does wear a "Santos" mask when he is home relaxing on his own. Does this count? | |
| Klipschorns How close were you seated to them? Old horn styles require 15 feet @ least, from my experience with them years ago, in order for them to sound right. Even 20-25 feet was not an uncommon listening distance, where I grew up in the Midwest, for nice ... | |
| Your choice of EL34's Albert: Thanks for the tip on KT77's (never heard or heard of them). I will add them to my hit list when we are on our thrift and flea outings. Currently looking for #50's for a friend. All of the old repair shops have already been stripped by a l... | |
| Your choice of EL34's Yes, I auditioned a Jolida 302B with both the stock and Svetlana tubes and the Svet's sounded very good to me (warm and full). The only other EL34's that I have ever owned/used have been Mullard XF1's and 2's, though in different/vintage amps so a... | |
| Power cord question I do the same as HDM (but use 1" wide cotton ribbon instead). The only problem is if the component is on the top shelf and in this case I just have one of the dancing girls hold it (the cord) up. | |
| After leaving my system on for 3 days... Leaving SS electronics on usually increases detail (things sound slightly veiled before complete warmup has taken place). This could have shown up a weak spot in the chain (like the CD player, a cable, etc.), but first try removing the tuner as yo... | |
| Best Power Cord Hdm: Do you really wan't more details from Natalie? Think about it. |
