Tube Amp Suggestions
Didactically.No big deal here.... It's a simple question. Have you ever really heard the cary 805 monos? 
motor replacement dilema
Hello Jameswei. Thank you kindly for your reply. The tourque issue is not really the problem here. Because the platter on the Melco is a larger diameter than standard....I don't think I would be able to get the correct platter speed with a vpi mot... 
Tube Amp Suggestions
Didactically. Pardon me sir, I don't get it: are your ears painted on or what? Or perhaps this is some kind of puzzle?....Ahhhhhh...Now I get it.... a paint by numbers puzzle and I'm supposed to join all the lines together and paint over all the n...

Preamp Deal of the Century

Preamp Deal of the Century
