| 12AX7 tubes for Music Reference RM-10 Both halves of the tube are used. One section is a grounded grid voltage gain section and the other is used as a concertina phase splitter.Sorry. I meant to say grounded cathode--not grounded grid. | |

| 12AX7 tubes for Music Reference RM-10 Jim McShane can offer matched, low-noise tubes at a very attractive cost. | |
| VPI Aries versus VPI Classic When the Classic came out, I called VPI and spoke to Sheila. I described my Aries (original series; HRX feet and SDS). She advised to stick with what I had. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-12A - Remove Phono Board? C-J does make a nearly identical stand alone phono unit called the EV-1, I believe. However, the coupling caps, at least the final output cap, is not polystyrene, and would have to be replaced to duplicate the performance of the PV-12 phono stage. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-12A - Remove Phono Board? To answer the specific question, it is very easy to remove the phono board if you choose to do so. The phono board is fully self-contained (with its own power supply regulators) and is held into place with screws fastening it to the main board. Th... | |

| audio research I prefer the SP-8 over the SP-9. The SP-8 can be notably improved by replacing the Rel-Cap coupling capacitors and bypassing the opto-coupler in the mute control. | |
| Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system? I honestly don't think the problem lies with your cables. | |
| Help needed - Quicksilver Full Function Preamp I believe they are 2.0 MFD @ 450V Rel-Cap metallized polypropylene caps. | |
| Tube Preamp with adjustable gain Used Music Reference RM-5. | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? Paul,I'd recommend you try and audition the new Quicksilver 88 monoblocks; I think they may be better than the V4s and you certainly don't need the power. They wouldn't throw much heat into your room in the summer either. | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? Paul,Tubes are Tubes and SS is SS. | |
| Power Tubes for ARC VT100 MkI. Genalex or SED? The KT-120 is not a drop in for the 6550. In addition to the issues cited by Hifigeek1, the KT-120 specifies a maximum grid 1 resisitance of 50k, whereas many amps using 6550 tubes use a grid resistance of 100K. | |
| Berning EA-230 vs RM-10mkII with Merlin VSM I have owned both the Berning (several years ago) and the RM-10 (currently), so I cannot make a simultaneous comparison on the same system. FWIW, I prefer the RM-10. |
