| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again I agree removing cases on many tube units, however:That design has all the tubes mounted in a row out of the back, similar to that McIntosh, except, Luxman wisely put the row of tubes up high, above the in/out cables. It’s got a decent vented gril... | |
| Input limited I think this is correct:The inputs were named so front labeled designations for playing or recording tapes from/to Tape DECKS (often two Tape Decks) made sense.Tape DECKS have internal equalization, then it’s line out, line in. So, you can use any... | |

| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? OK, now I understand what you said, and asked, better than initially.Not comparing Mono to Stereo, it's just that the former thrill of the hunt and find is gone, AND you are streaming happily.SO, why keep the Vinyl rig?I now say, keep the LP's, se... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again lewm,Thanks for the tip about frequency of availability.I like that Rosewood Case, a big part of it’s appeal. If I buy it, and truly like the sound of it's phono, I may use it in my main system with lots of similar colored wood and the Rosewood Sp... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again lewm,I'm holding out"Elliot,Thanks for the interest in my preamp. It really is a Nice tube preamp. I love the vintage (pre-Alpine) Luxman equipment and have so for the past 40+ years.To be honest, I have just over $1600 in it. Between eBay and Pay... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again I lost my mind, I just made an offer for the Luxman, let's see what happens. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again this guy has the nerve to call this near mint, A+, text worn off faceplate, case is nasty, connectors corroded. and the price??? https://www.ebay.com/itm/McIntosh-C11-Tube-PreAmplifier-Original-C20-C22-era-AUDIOPHILE-SERVICED/274...Why didn’t they... | |

| The Good, The Bad and the Ugly I loved my Thorens TD124, (it with aforementioned SME 3009), could take it apart, clean/adjust, replaced the rubber suspension grommets that had hardened, made custom wood basebut, the bearing, incredibly machined, was highly sensitive to vertical... | |
| The Good, The Bad and the Ugly My biggest disappointments have been pieces I like but had poor or inaccessible parts.rca jacks pre-mounted to pc boards, easy to push in too hard with a nice tight connector and break them. Speaker wire terminals that become loose somehow, foam r... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Let's say you get lucky and get $3,000. total. That's a lot, and it ain't a lot.Let's go back to your setup? You mention Mono LP and Stereo Streaming. You mention a TT with a single tonearm with a Mono Cartridge. A removable headshell I presume, w... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Bill,Nice to see you here. I am going tubes, I only posted the Carver for others, and my comment was about how it would match my other Carvers, the SS Cube Amp, and the SS AM/FM Tuner. All unreadable grey, absolutely horrible if not mounted standi... |
