| Burning a hole in my pocket! I got some money too, new speaker cable parts ordered!I don't have any recommendation, I have dedicated circuit for preamp and amp, the amp came with important looking cable.IMO, buy 'returns accepted', just in case you don't hear a difference. | |

| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! tyray My JSE's are at my son's house, I have gone back to my vintage drivers in a custom Rosewood Enclosure. (3 way: horn tweeter, horn mid, 15" woofer, from 1958) My setup, those speakers, and TT with 3 arms can be seen in the photos of this... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! oldhvymec I'm betting it changes nothing, but, I'm gonna do it, just to find out. | |

| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 My teenage son had great parties, over the years he and his friends blew 4 pairs of tweeters on my JSE Infinite Slope Model II’s. They would have the wrong input, push the volume to max, then find the correct input, blam. Cost him $60. each party.... | |
| Uninsulated bare copper wire for turntable ground OK? Homebound?Add bare wire, you could try it, it cannot hurt anything. You could wrap it with tape as a quick solution if hum appears.Some TT's don't have separate grounds. If it sounds good without the ground, as it might, ...Are you concerned about... | |
| Garrard 60hz Strobed platter That TT is beautiful, congrats on your purchase.Mechanically, it's very similar to my old Thorens TD124. It had markings on the bottom of the platter, a mirror so you could see it, and a light. I needed speed adjustment for sure, so I certainly un... | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? Let’s start with: how heavy are your speakers? Heavy? Perhaps wheels! Of course spikes make sense theoretically, but why sacrifice flexibility (alternate toe-in, alternate locations) for theory if you don't benefit from the theory.I've always ha... | |

| Amp to power surround channels for MUSIC ONLY What is your objective?Where/what are you getting the 5 (or 5.1) signals from?Back in the day, several amps and receivers had a 'derived center' output, for a center speaker. IOW, it created it's own center info (not you or your source). | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! How about I make myself a long wooden stick/screwdriver instead of plastic. Wood safe? | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Well now, I like the KT88’s more than the 6550’s, difference was obvious, as obvious as switching from Triod mode to preferrable ultra-linear mode.I assumed all the difference was entirely in the tubes.Seller told me he had it’s bias adjusted just... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp OP,Not to be against your original idea which I have no recommendation for, just to clarify:You seem to be both tempted by and concerned about separate SUT. I was too. I avoided MC for many years, because of noise of early pre-pre transformers. Th... |
