Need help RCA Interconnects but new Balanced Gear
If you decide to go with the adapters, let me know, I have 2 brand new Cardas adapters I may need to sell.

LOL Wolf!!! As I now embark on my tube-life, I was wondering what sort, if any, isolation devices are best placed under my amp and preamp? Rubber? African Zebra wood? Myrtle wood? or perhaps the old rubber inner tube trick?

Yes, EJ, it's been an interesting experience making the switch from SS to tube. Since I'm still breaking-in my components,it's a little early to give a full evaluation, but I have noticed an improvement in depth and sound stage even at this early ...

I hope we're more fun, Wolf. I went for the complete mod on the Jolida that included "4 EAR compliant Sorbothane isolation feet" to replace the stock feet plus I have it sitting on a Mapleshade type dense wood block. So that might be enough for th...

I cleaned off the pulley and put on a new belt. Now my speed varies from 33.28 to 33.38. I guess that's good enough, no?

I'm happy to hear that, although I suspected as much. I will have to check back with you guys after my tax refund comes in for opinions on a suitable preamp. Without opening up a new can of worms, but if you had to choose between which of the two ...

Somwhats the consensus on Orpheus' view? Will I not get a tube sound with a SS preamp?

I knew that leaving a tube amp on too long was not a good idea. I like the idea of listening while it breaks in. I am psyched and can't wait to get it all hooked up. I will report back with my thoughts.
