| I need a replacement preamp for a TV pre tuner and stereo system. Have you tried this procedure? https://forum.psaudio.com/t/bhk-preamp-fault-mode/27660 DeKay | |
| I changed a Tube and… "not sure about those prices from Brent - ?" What do you mean by that - too inexpensive? The new production tubes you are using currently retail for $60+ per tube. The tubes I mentioned are cheap as chips and they may further rock your world of... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Given the current prices of real Svetlana (St. Petersburg) EL34’s I’d put my coin in Mullard XF2’s from a reputable, not ripoff, dealer. DeKay | |
| Vietnam era stereo reference I've listened to quite a few these vintage PX systems when they were new. Most were either Sansui or Pioneer with large "Kabuki" speakers. In 1971 I spent 3 months with a "quad" Sansui setup in Hawaii and it was a lot of fun after a few tokes of... | |
| I changed a Tube and… I picked the reasonably priced tubes that give you a good taste of RCA and Amperex. I’ve used all of them in my preamp with good results. I generally run late 60’s Mullard Blackburn 12au7’s (short plate/round getter), but he didn’t have any, plu... | |

| I changed a Tube and… For fun go to Brent Jessee and pick up singles of these 12au7 tubes... RCA early grey plate (organ stock) - $15 RCA black plate (butt ugly) - $30 Amperex World Logo Holland $59 You might also pick up 2 of the $15 jobs to try as drivers. Aside... | |
| MacArthur Park I'll add Neil Young and Mink (Willy) DeVille to the list. DeKay | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? I'm having mine shipped directly to Origin Live for mods. DeKay | |
| Klipsch and Capacitors Probably not on that model as the only electrolytic cap is on the woofer. I'd play them for 200-300 hours and then consider updating the tweeter diaphragm's (Titanium?) if more clarity/less bite is desired. After that maybe the crossovers starti... | |
| MacArthur Park Just found this on Youtube (as performed by the author and new to me). Been thinking a lot about MacArthur Park since yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73v1RqRPKGk&t=17s DeKay | |

| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? What DAC have you been using with the LINN? DeKay | |

| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? What DAC are you using? Might be better to go with a CD player VS a transport depending on what it is. Also, what is the budget? DeKay |
