| Need a MC Cartridge recomendation... Well, I am leaning toward the Lyra Helikon. Life got in the way, though, as my central A/C broke and needs to be replaced. The cartridge purchase needs to be postponed a bit. | |

| Need a MC Cartridge recomendation... Thanks for the input so far. One dealer suggested a Shelter 9000 - any comments on compatibility with the Phantom & TNT? | |
| Need a MC Cartridge recomendation... Thanks for the recommendation - I am assuming that most feel a Titan marries well with a Phanton Mk II, correct, with compliance, tracking, etc? | |
| Where to use Isolation devices I use Herbie's products under everything. The items used, placement and number vary by the piece of equipment. I have tried uncusccesfully to "mix 'n match" manufacturers when it comes to isolation devices. In my opinion, I find it better to ID a ... | |
| Dual Subs set up advice I run RCA out of a SF Line 3 to the two stand alone amp/crossover units for my two Genesis subs. The Genesis subs can be run solo, not dual, so the amp/crossover unit has L and R RCA in. I use the L on one unit and the R on the other. | |
| True Headphone AMP? Go browse around Head-Fi. Lots there. I run a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 that Bill Thalmman did his magic (and it is magic) and retubed it with NOS Siemens CCAs and E88CCs. I love this preamp - this mod/retube took a very good preamp and made it great... | |
| good cable for internal speaker wiring Look to Chris VenHaus of VH Audio. I had Bill Thalmann mod a couple pieces of gear and he used Chris' internal hook-up wire (he has a couple options. Even Bill was impressed. | |
| phono preamp break-in machine I had my phono stage modded by Bill Thalmann. He used Teflon caps and hook-up wire with Teflon dielectric. Since it was recommended I put 400 hours on the caps, I bought a KAB PreCon LP, inserted it between my DAC and my phono stage and forgot abo... | |

I gave PAD Musaeus Praesto Rev a try between my (1) line stage and monoblocks and (2) l... | |

| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Pehare,What is a "shuggie" from Mr. Deal? So the GL KT-88 just didn't hold up for you as you would have expected - 4 mos is crazy. Jim McShane is purportedly one of the "good guys" in tube audio. Did you communicate back to him? Brent | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Thanks, Newbee. I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet. These are well-built amps that with Chris' top end mod provide me with alot of enjoyment. I like the SF house sound and am on the hunt for a cream puff pair of Power 3s - fully balance... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes I run a pair of Sonic Frontiers SFM-160s which each use a MQ of GL KT-88s. The amps were bought used, then shipped directly to Chris Johnson for a comprehensive check-up and his SE+ mod. The GL KT-88s were "standard" issue for the SE+ mod.That was... | |
| new tung sol kt 120 Casouza,Help me better understand "self-bias/cathode bias". My Sonic Frontiers monoblocks use four KT-88s per amp. I have a knob on the amp that allows me to select one of these four tubes. Using a screw driver, I can turn a shaft with a slot in i... |
