Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nikola, you sir (as they say here in the USA), are "on a roll"! Perhaps you have located a supply of my previously recommended "Bustelo" espresso roast bean, and are indulging in a bit too much brew. Although, and in spite of your previous re... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nikola, once again the difficulty of properly conveying the intended meaning of one's written words rears it's head. Please reread my comments to understand that they (as with yours) were intended as humurous and, more than anything, a compli...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
What finally "sent me over the edge" to try MM cartridges again after many years of MC use was not only the great info on this thread, but an unfortunate experience that I had with Van den Hul's retipping service three years ago. I had been a devo... 
Are there any other EAR 834P modders lately?
Stevecham, to be clear, I didn't mean to suggest you were being silly. I was referring to then references you cited. Regards. 
Are there any other EAR 834P modders lately?
As I mentioned in my first post, it is not the type of tube that matters as much as wether that particular tube (in your case a 12AU7) is a good sounding tube or not in it's own right, and complements your setup and your tastes; as long as that va...

How to get the impact of a live concert?
Pbnaudio, yes you make them, and they do look impressive; but "Live Sound"? No offense, but I doubt it. I don't want to derail what could be a very interesting discussion by bringing up the issue of the appropriateness of using a thread like this ... 
How to get the impact of a live concert?
The simplest answer to the original question is: It can't be done. The impact of a live performance can't be duplicated in the home; no playback equipment is good enough to replicate it faithfully. You may get close (although, "close" means differ...
