| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps weebeesdad my friends responses: "Kara (dehaviland preamp) sent one or two replacement tubes. But not the rectifier, and I have never swapped it on the dehavilland. We played with the rectifiers at your house on the phono stage. You’re refer... | |
| Costliest Brainfart That’s a shame, and as you realize completely preventable. I was photographing some equipment, some to show, some to sell. 3 Extension leaves in the dining room table, heavy stuff hither and thither. Left End I picked up my fairly heavy McIntos... | |
| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? I was curious as I said, and thought you would respond in earnest, not like you did. Here, and the Sony/Olympus camera forums, I sometimes look back and wonder if I (or someone else) had worded the title differently would more/different type of p... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. moonwatcher I've been waiting for someone to comment on that very risky idea. Cost of divorce is a good one. | |
| Sweet sounding tubes for preamps weebeesdad My memory sucks, turns out it was his phono stage we were testing. he is out of town working, will get the answer in a few days. Kara did send him some alternate tubes, I got the units confused. | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Oh yeah, budget: stretch it, consider extra cost divided by many years, not much really, just gotta get the dough now: so sell something, give up doing stuff, go out to eat less, buy less content for a while, tell the wife NO MORE SHOES (just for... | |
| Vintage musicality vs one box convenience Equal One Box Solution: you know the answer, so define the groupings of excellent separates. Live anywhere near me, Plainfield, NJ? I would love to hear those speakers! Sensitivity 98 db puts you in the power range of a lot of current: remote ... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. It would help you narrow the choices if you first clarify features: a. definite; b. desired, not absolute It's hard to keep the list short, but, for low cost ...... My suspicion is that used could match a new budget price and be 'better' and i... | |
| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? Curious, I just re-read your initial post, title and text.. At this point, How would you re-word your thread's title, the initial comments and clarify your question? | |
| Album Covers & Inserts What a shame. At least you got to yours soon after the leak. I hope you saved the wet covers! A new cover isn’t going to help you if they are on a shelf. I was given about 50 lps that were below a water leak, sat wet for a long time. Covers wet... | |
| Need help from you acoustical experts I’m not an acoustical expert, however I designed presentation rooms for Corporate Clients for 46 years, often with acoustical engineer consultants I hired. Larger spaces of course, but the issues are similar. 75 yrs old, I have messed about with ... | |
| When Will We Learn? I’ve had total disaster, plinth, TT, tonearms, dust cover ALL damaged here and there. Seller/shipper was idiotically irresponsible to me as well as himself. Even if insurance is for you, you pay seller for it, the seller buys the insurance, so th... | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? If only worth $500-$900 used, I would make it easy without spending too much money. I can replace surrounds, cones, even coils, have you done any of that before? They are NOT glued, get thee a narrow putty knife, say 1" wide, carefully tap around... |
