what do you use to remove your tubes?
Amperex (Bugle Boy) and Telefunken work great in other preamps I have.Make sure if you get Amperex,get the Made in Holland labeled.Since Richardson bought their name,there are all kinds of budget Chinese (plus who knows where) made Amperex tubes o... 
Any Blu Ray players made in the USA?
One thing for sure,Americans have some of the best engineers,talent,and products when they want to.Otherwise our products wouldn't be copied,reverse engineered,and counterfeited so much.I think Americans welcome something new from another country ... 
tuner better than turntable ? thread.

tuner better than turntable ? thread.
Record are capable of over 30 khz.What source is the radio station broadcasting?Live music all day?Or records and cd's as the source that sounds so good.You don't have to worry about poor coupling caps in a turntable,but what about all the couplin...

The electronics definitely play a big role brought up by Tbg.Anything sterile in the electronics end with destroy any thought of hearing something articulate sounding.GOOD point!

Speaker recommendation
Try to find speaker that are fairly efficient.I'm guessing that unit gives 10-15 watts per channel (just a guess) at the most.The specs they give are 25 watts at 1 khz @6 ohms only.The power at 20-20,000 will be lower.8 ohm speakers with at least ...

The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress?
I hate to say it,but I would guess its a fad.The young people that are finding it interesting now,will most likely get bored with it.Most of them like all of their electronic toys,including the new music formats out there.A lot may not even hear t... 
The Hub: No moving parts? No problem!
Also I thought there was a shortage of gas needed for the plasma tweeters.I also thought there was supposed to be a new driver with a similar idea that was to be introduced by someone.Unfortunately,I can't remember who or when.

And I didn't see any mention about the use of Vinzenz von Tscharner of Basil Switzerland catalyst that is supposed to change the plasma into oxygen.There was an article in the January 1997 HiFi News and Record magazine also(UK).[http://www.newscie...
