| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? artemus: Thought MC copped to being a paid shill for 1-2 manufacturers (difficult to back this up with the numerous deleted posts/threads). If so, is this OK with you? Takes me back to the DrAudio days of A'Gon (long ago) involving VD and so... | |
| Changing Tubes I will suggest that you first research if your pre is OK with 6dj8's VS 6922's. If it runs the tubes (6922's) hard 6dj8's will not last as long. If it runs the 6922's harder you will need Russian/Soviet/Eastern European 6922 equivalents and/or 7... | |
| Elekit TU-8600S. Best 300B’s? I would pick up some of the LinLai/Cossor 300B's while they are still available @ a reasonable price - as you like the sound. With 12au7's as drivers you can have fun rolling them - plus the input/12ax7. DeKay | |
| I got 127 records from the mid 40, 50 and early 60s that need a lot of cleaning Have not had time to search much, but came up with this (may not be mold). https://www.georgeblood.com/news/2018/7/26/dirt-and-mold-and-palmitic-acid-oh-my-a-handy-guide DeKay | |
| CD Tweaks: An Update I've used Meguiar's fiber glass cleaner/polish in the past with excellent results on used CD's. It smelled/looked exactly like the polish contained in an audiophile CD a maintenance kit that sold for around $130 @ the time. The Meguiar's was $6-... | |
| I got 127 records from the mid 40, 50 and early 60s that need a lot of cleaning Iso ONLY on vinyl. Don't know what to use (regarding mold) on shellac coatings et cetera. There was a recent thread in which care of the older materials used was addressed (not mold though) that I'll look for (think I posted to it). Will do so ... | |
| I got 127 records from the mid 40, 50 and early 60s that need a lot of cleaning I've only had half a dozen, or so, vinyl LP's with mold (rare ones that I wanted to save) and used copious amounts of isopropyl alcohol (letting it set for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm tap water and then repeating the process). Afterwar... | |
| MM phono preamp upgrade for $1000? An oldie, but a goodie... EAR 834P One just sold here (MM only) for under $1K). Not neutral, but extremely 3D sounding (tailor voicing with different tubes). DeKay | |
| Moved countries, help me get a new stereo system PS: If they are available there you might check out Heed Audio (both amp/speaker). I'm interested in their new version of the Obelisk integrated amp (to replace my tube gear), but due to Covid and my inability to drive highway/freeway have yet t... | |
| Moved countries, help me get a new stereo system I would choose speakers first (for such a small room) and then the amp. If I lived in Denmark I would definitely (just for fun) pick up one of these... Or, one of these... DeKay | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? How long are these Zooms going to be (may have to move my easy listening chair into the computer room)? DeKay | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? nonoise: Being that I'm rich, famous and extremely sexy I will require more info in order to properly ponder your post. DeKay | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? hilde45: Thought more about your OP and wonder if such could be incorporated via the "Insider" forum here @ A'Gon. Not familiar with it (Insider), but as it's pay to play it might be a better venue for what you suggest. It might start with chat... | |
| Should I turn my CD player off when I am finished for the day Turn it off and see how is sounds from a cold start. My CAL ICON MKII has been powered up 7/24 for 20 years (sans system changes/maintenance/power outages) and it's still carrying on and sounding as it should. I never leave a CD in after play (g... | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? If I can clear it through my agent, attorneys and life coach I'll require advance notice in order to schedule hair, makeup, wardrobe and lighting. Maybe even auto-tune - just for fun. Seriously though, I've met a handful of old regulars here, in... |
