| going from tube preamp to solid state Here's one you might be interested in (Google the model # to find the US/Canadian vendor). I'm not a 6sn7 fan either (preamp gain and as driver tubes). DeKay | |
| Looking for cartridge recommendations I would go with a replacement stylus (approx. $60) for your FC+ or try the latest version (V3?) of the Grado Prestige Gold or Silver for well under $300. I like the less expensive Grado cartridges in my system. Yes, you need a higher output cart... | |

| SET amplifier (for AvantGarde Duo's-original) recommendations pgastone: The amp I mentioned was an Audion amp (under budget if both sets of power tubes test well - no need to upgrade). DeKay | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? I have a remote controlled (on/off) version of the unit demonstrated in the linked Youtube video and I simply ask that all guests remain seated while auditioning my system (until directed to do otherwise). DeKay | |

It can use 2A3 tubes as well (2A3 and WE 300B tubes are included). I owned an Audion 300B DH/SET years ago and liked it. D... | |
