| Tubes or Solid State? dierksb I don't pay for streaming, but I do like finding music on youtube and Pandora. Happily someone here got me to use USB out of my computer into a simple Topping DAC, the sound quality, and stronger signal output make a big difference. | |
| Tube tester? My Opinion ANYONE with tube equipment needs his own tester to have confidence in their tubes when problems/suspicions occur, when checking periodically, when checking/confirming new purchases, ’matched’ .... You don’t need an expensive pro versi... | |

| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges I vote for single table with 2 arms on it, or 1 base with interchangeable arm wands: most active cartridge on main arm, 2nd arm with removable headshell for favorite ’other’. any cartridge, including your visiting friends. 2nd arm, already corre... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined Yes, the auto lifter, especially Audio Technica are terrific. They have height adjustment, and you simply rotate the top barrel to position the trigger. You keep it's amount of lift a bit lower than your cue lever lift. In my case, because the r... | |
| Low level listening btw, my comments about Fletcher Munson, and 'Loudness' relate to very low listening. That's when the Bass player starts to dissapear. Many here must consider low listening as what many of us would consider normal. | |
| Shout out for Vlad @ Audio Mirror I don't know your Vlad, seems a great person to know. I thought you were talking about Vlad in Canada, I bought a few things, excellent experience, superior packaging. |
