| TAD vacuum tubes? PS: Just read a few places that the TAD EL34 STR Red Base is made in China or Hong Kong and tested in Germany. A few pics showed "GERMANY" in raised letters molded into the bottom of the base. So special production (the bases anyway) for TAD? ... | |
| TAD vacuum tubes? Brent Jesse has older and newer Chinese EL34’s for $100 and $80 a pair. He also has 1970’s production Siemens for $200 a pair. He sold out of the Japanese/Philips EL34’s since the last time I looked (a month or two ago). DeKay | |

| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to Bimmer: It's fun going through this collection of music dating mainly from the 60's through the early 90's. I'm only on the first layer in the box with two more to go. DeKay | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to Correction... My deck was a 700ZXE (not ZXL). In the 70's/80's I had numerous Nak's (250 for the car, 550, 600 and the less expensive 700 model). DeKay | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to Jerry: I found a pair of spare IC's that I made years ago with cheap low metal mass Radio Shack RCA's and either Chimera Labs or Vampire magnet wire (not certain which). They were hanging behind a painting in the hallway. Definitely better soun... | |

| Who Gets Left Out? If you have another outlet on the line pick up a Furman PST-8 for the sub, and you can always experiment by trying other components with the Furman (for kicks). I have 2 of the PST-8’s and they seem to be sonically OK as far as I can tell plus th... | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to I just listened to Spandau Ballet "The Singles Collection" on cassette and am now coming to the realization as to what a sheltered life (musically) I have led. Sorry if I'm not getting back to all the numerous PM's about cassette's but I'm just y... | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to As I’m barely smart enough to own, yet alone use, a computer I need advice on the following query. How do I change the title of this thread... from: "32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to" to: "Cassette Tape Treasure Trove... | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? Thanks, that was fun (here's a link - pasted the address of the YTVID to the icon just to the right of the smiley face). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFoUht6QA0o DeKay | |
| SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III From memory the effective mass of the II/Improved is 6.5 grams (maybe 7.5 - too lazy to look it up) for the fixed head shell version and 9.5 (certain on this) for the detachable head shell version. Both are excellent choices for the V15 series as... | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to OMG: I'm on the second layer of the "Big box of cassettes" and I'm finding multiple sealed copies of cassettes that sell for thousands of dollars. They are rare albums that I have never listened to. Should I open up one unit and give it a liste... | |
| 32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to I've been receiving gobs of PM's about the cassette hoard, but have yet to receive a recommendation on interconnects (1 meter is fine). Listening to Leon Redbone "On the Track" right now and next up are... -Euro Disco Volume 3 -Dr. Demento "Th... |
