| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules I have a system in place for cleaning vinyl without machines that has served me since the 80s.Don't clean them.I'm serious! The more you clean vinyl, the more dirty they get and the more pops and crackles you hear. Most of the records I have (that... | |
| Do I really want the musicians in my room? Listen to live music only and enjoy the venue if you system is resolved enough. | |
| Audio Research CD7's 6H30 tube rolling I thought that by the nature of what the 6H30 was designed for, tight tolerances were standard and that all 6H30DR tubes manufactured were already matched very tightly.The tube store where I purchased the NOS 6H30DRs from has a matching service fo... | |
| Review: NuForce 9 V2 SE Amplifier The sound you hear is the total contribution of a whole lot of equipment starting with source, head-amp (if any), pre-amp, then the Nuforces and then speakers.For the kind of sound you describe hearing, how do you know what you are listening to? W... | |

| Audio Research CD7's 6H30 tube rolling Hi all!Thanks for detailing your experiences. The comments that I should wait longer before commenting on the sound is very valid. It's just that 400 hours takes such a long time to pass when you are burning new equipment!And when the new NOS tube... | |
| Audio Research CD7's 6H30 tube rolling I went ahead and ordered 4 NOS tubes for the output stage. The seller was kind enough to confirm that I could return them in mint condition less a restocking fee should I find that there is no change in sound.The CD7 (brand new) started by soundin... | |
| bad match?- Totem Model1's and NEW 20.1 The Model 1 isn't the weak point. I've used the Totem Model 1 signatures and they will rise to the occasion depending on what you use to drive it. Just before I retired it to a home theatre system, they were sounding pretty amazing through a AR/BA... |
