| NAD M10 vs Marantz Model 30 I would decide on speakers first. I had a living room approx. that size (16' ceiling) in the late 70's and was never satisfied with the sound of my small (Rogers/Braun) speakers - even in the near-field. I didn't have subs, but did have the add-... | |

| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? Here's an old thread on your pre -w- supposed advice from Cary in regard to what/what not rectifier type to use (5R4 is not recommended). https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/rectifier-for-cary-slp-05 DeKay | |
| Recording vinyl woes The blanks I used in my non-commercial Pioneer were labeled "digital audio" (it would only recognize blanks marked as such to record). Here's an old chat about it. https://www.stereophile.com/content/cd-r-vs-cd-r-audio-1 DeKay | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? OP: Sent you a PM via the A’Gon system with a few personal insights regarding your query. It can be accessed by clicking on your account, going to "dashboard" and then to "messages". Considering the current "frenzy" currently going on regarding... | |

| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? What I tried to say was save money in the long run and purchase one (or two) properly tested, widely liked for their sonics and reliable old production tubes while they are still available @ sane prices. Though my favorites have been Mullard and ... | |
| Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae Paul McCartney, Flea, Carl Radle and Cliff Hugo come to mind. Heard Flea and Hugo many times live as I've been an LA resident since 1977, Radle just once live. Wasn't a Jack Bruce fan (saw Cream) until his later years. Got to give Roger Waters... | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? Buy real old production Mullard/Philips GZ34’s (or two) from a reputable tube dealer before they become unobtainable @ sane prices. Seen them recently in the $150-$200+ range. Don’t fret about metal base et cetera as they all sound good and last... | |
| Hook Up Question : Harmon Kardon Citation 11 Pre Amp with Citation 12 Amp Try it both ways. Also, does your Furman have switched and un-switched inputs? If so, you can plug the 12 into a switched input and turn off the Furman to power down the 12 (gear to remain on would be plugged into the un-switched inputs). De... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. Croft integrated, though don't know if you need the phono section. 2 12ax7's for the phono section and a single 12ax7 drives the MOSFET's. DeKay | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Political posts here @ A'Gon should be deleted ASAP, IMO, and the posters banned if they continue with such. I recognize a handful of the "political" posters here from their posts @ Audioasylum, though they use different monikers there. I burned... | |
| Favorite religious song "Amazing Grace" by a log shot. Best rendition I've ever heard was @ a funeral in Arkansas in the early 1960's (spent the summer there in the middle of nowhere with my Aunt/Uncle - nearest town was Bonnerdale - I think). DeKay | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Wow... Enjoy reading "offtrack" threads like this one until they become political. helmholtzsoul -"I'll let MY wallet do the talking" comment is hoot as well as his claiming to like Kenjit's offerings here @ A'Gon. However, I do miss Geoffery K... | |
| 6922 Tube Question ECC88/6dj8 and E88CC/6922 have different maximum current specs with the latter being able to withstand higher levels. Probably best to ask the designer/manufacturer as to what will "last well/longer" in a specific unit, and if this is not possibl... |
