Analog Tuner Existence.....
Have to completely agree with Armstrod's take on Televisions reasoning for HD. Its about money and profits period. FM broadcasts will be here for a long time to come as Armstrod stated they just cannot loose the audience. Its that, that drives the... 
Michell Tecnoweight + RB700 Tonearm - Reversible??
Yes , generaly they are easy to remove. However the possibilty of damage is always there on how you handle the arm itself and how much force it takes to get it started moving. The stubs in the regas have been known to be occaissionly stubborn but ... 
Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one
Gbart , just to clarify so you know why in my experience I made my statement. The company that Hammond owned that manufactered these receptacles in the 20 amp version regardless of grade were all manufactured identically . The residential versions... 
Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one
Gbart , in the home I had built the outlets in kitchens are all 20 amp by code . They do have a stiffer grip on the prongs in my experience. 20 amp outlets at least in my area and experience are a better grade than the standard 15 amp version. The... 
Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one
The wall receptacle is fine as is. Putting a 20 amp receptacle in the wall will change nothing current wise,but will give better grip on the prongs . Get a new chord that is 20 amp iec at the unit end. Only reto fit if your sure the cable is rated...

Suitable tube preamp for pass labs x250
The CAT Ultimate mk1 is my brothers choice. Has only vynil and an an old tube tuner for source and no digital at all with early 70,s era klipsh speakers. VERY VERY SWEET. Another good option and in your price range. Can,t comment on CJ as I have n... 
Suitable tube preamp for pass labs x250
I posted your question in reverse just recently. Cary slp98 and what amp to recommend and some suggested the pass labs such as yours. Could be had for half of your low end price. I,m very pleased with it myself and when I get a better amp such as ... 
Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise?
Have to agree with the fact there are to many variables. The condition of used vynil and its play grade versus its visual grade and if the previous owner(s) maintained them and HANDLED and STORED them properly. Try some of the new vynil and for us... 
The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard?
I always thought NHT super zeros were nice for the little price and great sound minus the lower octives of course. Still have em. Cheers 
Baby Steps back to Tubes.
Thanks Guys for all the good ideas and products to do some looking into. Tvad, good advice on the speaker part and possibly reworking the amp yet again. I,m trying to avoid that and I will look into the Moscode. Thanks again guys! Cheers 
Baby Steps back to Tubes.
No that was not my question. It was a statement or more a wish to happen quicker. The question is the one asked at the start of the thread! Eventually down the road I may like to go tube amp and change speakers. But not right now. Thanks , have be... 
Baby Steps back to Tubes.
Thanks Rodman9999, thats exactly the type of options I would like to know about . Not nessacarily the well known but some of the descent not so known brands.Thanks! Keep em comin! Pauly, I fully agree with you on tube friendly speakers and the imp... 
Baby Steps back to Tubes.
I understand what cine100 was trying to say and without getting away from my initial reason for the post I realise that tube watts do seem to have the perception of playing louder. Thanks Rodman9999 for the link. Some very good reading and info fo... 
AMP for driving NHT VT 2.4
The Quad has a very good midrange but lacks in the bass end and the treble is not as extended. The Nad is a little on the warmer side and in the long run you will end up wanting to change it. I am not familiar with the Monarchy when mated with NHT...
