| Do cartridges need warm-up? Albert makes a very good point. The ambient temperature is critically important and should ideally not be lower than 25 degrees centrigrade (Spectral, Helikon, Koetsu, Insider). Another parameter not to be neglected is humidity, which in my experi... | |

| Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get TGM, in Jadis gear I have had the best results with:1. Telefunken ECC803s and 802s.

| Record Cleaner Side Effects? Most LPs profit, with sometimes really shockingly good results regarding soundstage and presence and some simply do not, lose in presence and immediacy, which can be equally clearly evident. I have still to find out why this is so. The percentage ... | |

| Keith Jarrett recommendation Here is something for classical fans and it is on CDA double CD box in fact: Dimitri Shostakovitch: "Preludes and Fugues", wonderfully played by Jarret, though I prefer the rendering by Nikolajewa on Melodija..... |
