| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? And for future reference, rumble is a result of TT motor/spindle bearing noise, and is independent of the record being played. It is something you should hear (if you are unlucky enough to have it in sufficient quantity) whenever the turntable spi... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Photo forums can be as touchy as hi-fi forums. I have pretty much stuck with film as I have the skills and like to keep them alive. While I have sold all my Leicas, I do still visit a film thread on a big Leica forum, where any kind of film photo ... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Oh, yes, I'm au fait with all that, and the 'more tubey' sound was what I had in mind. I know there will be a lot of internal changes to make, now, after talking to the guy I use to keep my Quads in repair (for example, he has already replaced the... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! My best box speakers were Castle Winchesters, and my best transmission line (sans box) were Time Frame TF700s. I liked them both, and still do when I have to put them in service. Now I have never even heard a Magnepan, but I have owned Quad electr... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes @jjss49 Thanks. I was rather hoping using KT66 tubes in place of KT88 would make my amps sound a little more like the SET amps I used to have. And maybe, from your description (if I look at it in a positive light rather than the reverse) they woul... | |
| SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected? How to upload photos into a post: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/how-to-upload-photos-in-a-post | |
| Decware and “The List” @jeffstrick may your god be with you A Dave Allen fan? | |
| Decware and “The List” I have a good deal of sympathy with Chip. I have leukemia and I'm hoping I will be one of the lucky 33% cured by a bone marrow transplant.* I would have bought a pair of Decware SE84UFO monoblocks recently (to bridge into mono) if it were not for ... | |
| SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected? I’m not sure if they will help you, though. The SME cables that came with my arms have two ground wires. The one that leaves the bundle near the plug that goes into the base of the tonearm is to be connected to a ground on your pre-amp. The other ... | |
| SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected? Here is the 20/2 Manual: https://sme.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/SME-model-20-2-instructions.pdf and for the Series IV tonearm: https://sme.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/SME-series-iv-instructions.pdf | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? No experience. If you want to help me and make a sale, be nice and show me why I should buy your product. There's so much rubbish on the market that you have to keep your eyes wide open, and your ears paying full attention. Rude salesmen lose sal... | |
| Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered? Do not buy from rude or uncaring sellers is a rule to live by. | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Thanks, all. Time for me to talk to my tube guru. C. | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Hey, dogberry, Are you saying the Furutech Destat III is fake junk? ??? No, but there are Furutech products that I would classify that way. The Destat III is effective and expensive. The Milty Zerostat is a bit less effective, harder to use ... | |
| How to Upload Photos in a post? It is pretty trivial to set up something like phpBB (I’m not an IT person, merely an amateur, and I recently set up a forum for CLL patient support), but the big thing is the loss of the existing posts. That is very hard to import. At best one cou... |
