| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @mijostyn Just gibberish. You have ears. I have ears. They are just different ears. For me, you can measure to your head spins but I listen to the best digital and I love it for about 20 minutes but then my ears hurt and I can't go on and then I l... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @mijostyn Blinding the panel isn’t what music listening determination is about. It’s what you enjoy listening over a long period of time. I’ve had state of the art digital in my personal listening system and boy it sounds awesome. And then after a... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @mijostyn As someone who listens for a living in my work which is tangential to the music industry, your blanket statement about that level digital being superior is completely fine for your ears. I’ve done the comparison in a room of people in a ... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? Thanks @larryi. I've been playing with setup a bit today and it's definitely making a difference. I have been using a fixed SPU headshell with an Ortofon SL-15, which technically should be dead on with the Bokrand (the pivot to spindle is confirme... | |
| Hissing at idle through one amp but not another Thank you @mlsstl! I just realized there is a gain switch on the back of the Ayon and a attenuator switch on the Lamm. By reducing the gain on the Ayon and going to -15 on the Lamm, the hiss is almost gone. I've learned over the years that with t... | |
| Hissing at idle through one amp but not another These are good suggestions but this problem is different. It seems like the hiss is coming from the preamp because I don't hear it when the preamp is muted or off. But if I use a different amp, I don't hear hiss at all. I've swapped tubes. That's ... | |

| Lamm LL2.1 Replacement with balance control? Now that's an interesting concept! | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? So the OTL was too forward. Fatiguing. Turned my LPs into CDs. The end of the story is that I bought a used Ayon Crossfire III. File this under "you get what you pay for". Higher power SET is the answer to all my problems. All the bass I could ne... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I wish I had efficient enough speakers for that amp. I've heard really good things about it. In the end, I was disappointed in the RM-10 I and II compared to vintage EL84s that I have tried. Same with the Manley Mahis. Just no enough back to front... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Looks like it's been 3 years since one of those popped up for sale. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Just to update in case anyone is interested. I got and had rebuilt a Fisher SA-100 which is the best sounding EL-84 I've heard out of all of the ones I've had. Simply, it has everything all the best ones have, near SET delicacy, but also BASS! I t... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? MQ-36 with the Lamm beats all the other combos. It doesn't require any tone controls. Great match with my speakers! Never heard an OTL amp other than a unsuccessful week with a Futterman 20 years ago. This is a great turn of events... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps OP and @facten I’ve heard the Leben extensively with 86dB Harbeths and it’s a great match. | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Leben CS600. It's an integrated so you can sell the LTA. Very Romantic but really sounds right. |
