| Tonearm rewire- Options? I REALLY wish I could just afford to spend the extra loot on this arm. It reminds me of an OL arm, the armtube modification, teh lack of paint, the rewire...One thing that noone has addressed (I couldn't find an answer anyway) is the new Michell T... | |
| Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98 I, too have seen 7308, 6dj8, 6922 tubes getting costly.The really primo ones are expensive, and tough (but not impossible) to get from reputable sources. I remember back when I was doing the Cary SLI-80/ Rogue Tempest shootout, I was having a toug... | |
| Feeling musically adventurous? Boards of Canada I ,too am a big fan of the BOC's Music album.I have a vinyl copy on the way right now.Although very different (within the same realm of "feeling" however) is Air. I can't get enough of those dudes.I saw them in ATL a few months ago, and it was awe... | |

| Experience with Electro Harmonix 12au7 gold pins? just 4, but I'd like the internal sections matched as well as matched between tubes | |
| RIP Robert Palmer You guys should pick up "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" from 1974.Its nothing like his 80's hits (which I enjoy as a guilty pleasure tremendously).Anyway, another tragic loss.RIP | |
| Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet? I Have Trente's on 22" sand filled, four-post non-welded Target Clones. They are quite inert. I am curious about using the Magic stands, but right now my ear is about even with the top of the woofer bracket, I just can't see the speakers needing t... | |

| Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805 I have had great luck with The Electro-Harmonix tubes.I own a set of their el-34s that I stick in my Rogue from time to time. It is Auto Bias, and set up for the bigger bottles, and I know that the little 34s are being run hard, but it's a nice ch... | |
| Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805 Hey Joe!I have to disagree with Trelja, but with a Caveat:I owned the 805 for quite a while, and drove them well with 30 push-pull triode watts from a Rogue Tempest, and a Cary SLI-80 sig, I had great results, but with 6550 or kt-88 tubes.The el-3... | |
| Beginners Tube Amp Recommendations go with the jolida.with an aftermarket power cord, and some better tubes, they perform well above their range.Trelja is a big advocate of both Jolida and Totems, so he could probably shed some light on your predicament.He will probably see this th... |
