| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Gang. Raytheprinter, the ge 6sn7gtb sidegetter is a very good inexpensive tube option for those that don't want to pay the price for a pair of kenrad blacks, tung-sol rounds,or the metal based sylvania vt-231. In my experience... there are only... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hello Raytheprinter. Yes, it's a nice sounding tube in the syrah. | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? And in this corner: All the way from Japan, weighing in at trim 103 lbs..... and still the undisputed integrated champion of the woooooorld! The Audio Note Ongaku. Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee! | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Jazz. Unfortunately...My typing skills are zero,I never did learn to type, not to mention that I'm a "certified moron" on these damned computers.I type with "one finger". hehehehe.....Hell if the keyboard didn't have the letters marked on the k... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody What makes you believe the 6106 is called upon to do the duty of a 5ar4 in the supratek, one could use the very same analogy by saying the 5ar4 has to do the same duty as the 5z4, gz33, gz34, gz37 as well as a host of others. All of these rectifie... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Gang. Whopadeedo. You stated "you preferr to run your gear with the tubes that were designed for it". Are you stating the spec for the rectification duty of your supratek is only rated for an gz34/ar4 and the 6106 doesn't meet spec? Your metal ... | |

| Speakers to replace Proac Response 3's Replace response 3's with Paradigm studio 100's? I don't get it? Do you believe that would be an upgrade? The response 3's are in a whole higher league sonically.Don't get me wrong here, as I honestly believe the whole line-up of the paradigm stud... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Hey Marty. Well said,and your educated guess may even be much lower if one factors in all the variables in the real world. Hell,once upon a time I tore the sylus off a brand new denon 103d while cleaning the record with a brush! Cartridge life ave... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Viridian. You have a point however, inspecting a used sylus under a scope will tell you a great deal about it's use or misuse. Styli that are not regularly cleaned or used on uncleaned vinyl will surely suffer a premature fate long before those th... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Eldartford. Yes,I would think clean records would be the primary factor here. On the other hand, I remember inspecting many friends cartridges on the microscope over the years and have seen a some real doosies,some with very low hours as well. My ... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Eldaford. Interesting analogy on stylus wear. I usually rejig my Et-2 tonearm at 6 month intervals to clean the air bearing and then would inspect the stylus under a microscope at the same time. After approximately 200 hours of use there was no si... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Hi Stuart. I got 8 years [approximately 3000 hours] out of my original 1981 koetsu rosewood before I sent it to Japan for a rebuild.I then got another 12 years out of the rebuilt one before I sent it out again[approximately 3000 hours] . Keeping y... | |
| Wavac MD-300b vs Sophia SET 300b Interesting. As Metralla mentioned, a small room will certainly help your cause and yes, a 300b amp will drive the 11 ohm version of ls3/5a just fine, regardless of it's low sensitivety. However, forget about a 300b based amp trying to drive them ... | |
| 2 way vs 3 way / Monitors vs. Floorstanding Amen Nrchy. Prospective speaker buyers should pay attention to Nrchy's post. Well said and very appropriate here. |
