| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts uncledemp: That's assured, but I would like to think that he/she/they keep a "diary" of the deleted posts that really made their day. DeKay | |
| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts My suggestion is that Christopher Walken moderate the forums and instead of the offending posts being removed they would remain with digital lines drawn through the words. Chris would then attach a short video (to the post) with him explaining wh... | |
| Stylus supplier Thanks for answering your own query. Knew the answer, but couldn't access it (and it was bugging me out). Purchased a few things from Ed a long time ago. DeKay | |
| Conditioner vs. Surge protector Here's a wholesale link to FS140 if you are going to have it professionally installed. https://projectbth.com/product/siemens-fs140-whole-house-surge-protection/ Not familiar with the company, but it was in the first 5 hits I got with a WWW... | |
| 6H30 replacement Has anyone found out if the amp can sub 6n6p for 6h30? DeKay | |
| Audio nonsense Zavato: What Peter Belt kit did you try? Also, why didn't you post about them here? DeKay | |
| B & O Speakers S 45-2 crossover ...a fire hazard ? Never heard of this, but agree with Erik. Try to view the crossover and look for pad down resistors checking their wattage rating. The owner of a stereo shop (and myself) tortured a pair of the first 45 version for an entire afternoon in 1977 (j... | |
| 6H30 replacement No on the Mazda (not warm sounding). Yes on the long plate Mullard. Yes on the Amperex (Bugle Boy). Never tried Brimar. For a warmer sound I would avoid any Eastern European 12ax7 tubes (including Siemens). DeKay | |
| Thorens TD 146 Sorry, not familiar with the later versions of the TP11 (heard it on the 146 and have seen them on other models of the period). Think that there were different versions of the Ittok as well, but I'm too "read out" to look now and need to save my... | |
| Something odd going on with the forums... OK, now the posts are back... My best guess is that it had something to do with me not watching and/or caring about the Super Bowl. DeKay | |
| Audio nonsense Have you tried any of the Peter Belt offerings, and if so which ones? Years ago a friend and myself conducted blind A/B comparisons of Peter Belt Rainbow Foil treated CD's to duplicate non-treated CD's on my setup and I could ID the foil treated ... | |
| Thorens TD 146 OK, now research the arm on the Linn you are considering as well as the model of the Linn deck. Are the "older" Linn decks better than the older Thorens? Not, IMO. DeKay | |
| Thorens TD 146 What model Linn deck/arm (many were paired with low mass arms)? Off the top of my head AT and Ortofon have current model high compliance offerings and, and hopefully others will chime in with current production choices. I use an old Grado Silver... | |
| Thorens TD 146 mink: Maybe the "auto shut-off" is the feature I confused with "lift"... Man - that was a long time ago. Anyway, I feel that many of the old Thorens belt drives can sound extremely good, but this is taking into consideration condition and setup... | |
| Thorens TD 146 hvy: The earlier TD145 had auto stop, but I don't recall it lifting. There was a TD147 in the shops around the time the TD146 was new, but other than a different arm I don't know the difference. I heard the TD146 in the early 80's (I think) whe... |
