| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? Matthew: The old production 5ar4's were a good investment (get them while you can). I purchased the remaining stock of the Benji Frank eyeglass frames I wear (90% off closeout) and they are now unobtainable @ any price. Though they are durable ... | |
| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? Think you are OK with the B&W for now+++ as they used good poly caps and wirewound resistors in their crossovers (you have already addressed the driver materials used). How did you end up with good rectifier tubes for the Cary preamp? DeKay | |
| Tube stereo sounds -smaller- after being on Have you tried testing and/or replacing the rectifier tube with one tested to new spec? The 2 hour time period/demise in sound is what should be telling you/us something, but what is that? DeKay | |
| Tube stereo sounds -smaller- after being on If you are "adding" EQ with your preamp/mixer it's possible that doing so is overtaxing the 3 watt amplifier and/or the step-up TF you are using. What speakers are you using, or are you using headphones (I know ZIP about headphones)? Just throwi... | |
| Cable advice The Kama Sutra approach is more fun. DeKay | |
| Tube stereo sounds -smaller- after being on The only time I've experienced what you describe is when I was using my vintage Pilot 232 (1959/1960 PP EL84 power amp) 15+ years ago. After 3-4 hours of play the soundstage would gradually shrink/compress and the power transformer would become e... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? Look @ Spin-Clean (Amazon has the complete kit -w- additional supplies for $100 right now). I've read about similar (even less expensive) systems, but can't think of the names off hand. DeKay | |

| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? I clean by hand (lots of videos on such) and use a Groovmaster to protect the labels. DeKay | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? Here's a how-to video that may be of some help. DeKay | |
| Favourite Guitarists I only mentioned guitarists of which I like ALL of their work that I'm aware of. Lots of great players that are on/off. DeKay | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! "Would you choose a wife based on how she looked on YouTube? I hope not." It would depend upon the quality of the video... I chose my wife based upon how she looked/acted/sounded in a grocery store with bright off-putting lighting and poor acou... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! IMO, it's just you and those like you. DeKay | |
| Favourite Guitarists Though neither are usually listed as guitar hero's Ron (Ronnie) Wood and Steve Winwood are few of my favorites. Winwood is always scripted (but he writes well) and Wood can play well with just about anything thrown @ him. I've also come to reall... | |
| Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack The power amplifier you previously mentioned is too large (deep) to properly fit on many racks. It would hang out 4" (in the back) on my Studiotech rack. DeKay |
