| What's a good amount of time to have my preamp unplugged before I swap out tubes? +++ for newbee... I usually wait 10-15 minutes for the tubes to cool, and the power supply caps to lessen their stored voltage. Probably longer than needed for small signal tubes (to cool), but certainly not a bad idea for power tubes (especiall... | |
| Heard the Margo Timmons solo release? Thanks, didn’t know about it. Here’s a sound link for older members (like me) who have difficulty streaming. DeKay | |
| Why Do You Post? helmholtzsoul = pingstonsmile I enjoy posting here (and reading the troll posts). Does anyone else enjoy Dilaudidaudiophile's posts as much as I do? DeKay | |
| Speakers for yoga studio Agreed: Acoustic Zen is a much wiser choice than (let's say) Virtual Dynamics, considering the application. DeKay | |
| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T Just checked TS prices today and matched quads "in stock" were $270-$360+, so you got a deal. I would just hang in until you are able to go out and audition SS amps. I need to audition the new Heed, I mentioned, as the one I liked was a 10 year ... | |
| Speakers for yoga studio Hot yoga is between 80-100 degrees and it will be even hotter higher up in the room. Something cheap/easy to replace or all weather speakers. DeKay | |
| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T How much was the quad of EL34's, and how long did your previous tubes last? Your amp received a very good review @ Stereophile. Here's a SS amp that interests me (to replace Bottlehead tube gear). https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaf480... | |
| Turntable Identification Looks like my previously owned Thorens TD124/TD121 (both looked the same from that camera angle). DeKay | |
| Who's an artist that you're a fan of but whose name you're not sure how to pronounce? I met Prince 2-3 times in the mid 90’s on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood outside Book Soup (super book store - with an adjacent great magazine kiosk). Didn’t recognize him @ first as he had short/natural hair, but figured it out fairly quickly on... | |

| NAD M10 vs Marantz Model 30 To widen your choices you could add an outboard BT receiving unit (tiny little things) to any integrated amp. I've seen them complete with DAC for $200, or so, but don't know much about them. Audioengine and iFi come to mind. This is assuming t... | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan A few of Willy (Mink) DeVille's offerings in his later years remind me of Dylan. Not a copy, but remind me of such. DeKay | |
| replacement for MOFI beatles box set Single LP's can be cherry picked @ Discdogs with your preference for mono/stereo. Doing so will require specific research yourself @ specialty sites, if you have not listened to them, as far as sonics go. I prefer original UK mono recordings of ... | |
| replacement for MOFI beatles box set For convenience,SQ and price... Beatles Blue Box set (BC13?) on Parlophone. Released in the late 70’s. Usually available in close to new condition for $500-$600. They are all stereo, and no MMT. PS: I recently set up an account @ Discdogs ... | |
| Missing Members Whatjd has not posted since January 2021. He mentioned health issues (VA hospital) a few years back, but I lost his name/contact info (from a purchase here @ A'Gon ages ago) so have been unable to do "the search". Recently looked up a local audi... |
