| Electro-Harmonix and Sovtex tubes Cleaneduphippy - Just posted a thread asking for input on tube upgrades for my 502B. Curious what direction you took if you don't mind sharing. Did you go with 6550s or KT88s? What mftr.? | |
| New to Audiogon and have a question Welshdra7 - Interesting. I bought a Yamaha R1000 back in the 80s. Had it a long time driving Polk SDAIIs that I bought used (also back in the 80s). I shipped the Yamaha out for "refurbishment" intending to sell it after buying an integrated tube a... | |
| Stereo channel balance/image Decapg - Please DON'T plug TT outputs into preamp OUT! What I was suggesting was a pretty obvious diagnostic that probably already occurred to you...I assumed you had an outboard phono preamp. What I was suggesting is just reverse the left and rig... | |
| Stereo channel balance/image I have to say channel imbalance is something that makes me crazy. You should be able to isolate imbalance to either TT or phono pre-amp - I think. Can you switch TT leads into phono pre-amp first? If it doesn't change anything try switching phono ... | |
| Best Concert Film Bdgregory - Just rented "Heart of Gold". Really enjoyed it. Need to get the Prarie Wind CD. | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Dawgbyte - I enjoyed the thread you started! | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Apologies for continuing this non-music discussion, but AMEN TO THAT! (though I'm not certain Vietnam was a civil war), none the less and further to Kurt_tank's point, I guess we should just kiss off the 6 million or so Iraquis that risked life an... | |
| DJ Cartridges - have you tried it? I also own a KAB modified Technics SL1210M5G with KAB modified Stanton "DJ" (Groovemaster) cartridge. Am very impressed with the wonderful sound from this setup. | |

| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? I have a Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player connected via JPS Labs Superconductor FX to a JoLida 502B. The change from factory interconnects (simultaneous with changing speaker cable to JPS Labs Ultraconductor) really made a big difference. | |
| Michael Brecker R.I.P. Scotthobby...completely agree. I didn't know any of this and as a new member of AudioGon was wandering around the forums when I came across the news about these two deaths. In short order I also stumbled across the fact that Chris Whitley had pass... | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection Shadorne - thanks for the tip...I actually don't own any Tom Waits. Used to hang with my cousin and listened to him there. Should probably pick up something by him...(haven't seen cousin in a while - that's another story) but remember listening to... | |
| BIWIRE TERMINALS I recently purchased some JPS Lab speaker cables (single wire). I was shocked at the difference better cables made over the ANCIENT Monster cable I had been using. Now I've upgaded speakers (sort of fell into something and did it) and they can sup... | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection sorry...hadn't read your whole question...I think vocals, sound stage, instrumentation, bass ... the whole recording not to mention that it is great music (songs by Tom Waits, Stones, traditional spirituals, hymns, and folk) make Sprit of the Cent... | |
