| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question My advice: Don't listen to your new speakers for 2-4 weeks. give your Aurel memory time to fade. Of course, make sure the speakers are functioning properly to avoid return issues, then don't listen. Assuming you heard the dealer's pair, and liked ... | |

| 6H30 Tubes A while ago, the new Western Electric factory issued a query to find out what the general population wanted in a new tube reissue, I challenged them to try and match the Russian 6H30 "DR'. So far, no response. | |

| Cartridge - sweet spot on the cost/sound curve? This Denon is a legend. I remember owning one in the 1980s. Other companies mod them (Zu Audio?) and resell. https://www.amazon.com/Denon-103-Moving-Coil-Cartridge/dp/B0027426UE/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_0_image?pd_rd_w=6nDWo&content-id=amz... | |
