| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @billpete , a few posts or so ago I referred to an email I sent to a benefactor who had blessed me with a literal plethora of vintage pairs of 6sn7s. I really wanted to do something nice for someone who had turned me on to so many tubes either at ... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @harpo75 , interesting read on adjusting the trim pots on the SLP-05. That sounds like it would be a lot of work to roll tubes. And I guess to perform the procedure the preamp would have to be setting on some type of open support box so that it... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 A friend of mine sent me a Moscode preamp and it is called a hybrid. Well, as I typed, I may have been mistaken about that part. You’re well ahead of me on this stuff. I wouldn’t say that at all, @billpete . When people start talkin... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 So, having Hexfred rectifiers, does that make the SLP 98 a hybrid? @billpete , I make no claims to be an electronics or tube guru, but I’d say that a piece of tube gear that utilizes solid state rectification is NOT a hybrid. From what I have ... | |
| JBL 4349 at low listening levels. For 50-55 db, get some hifiman headphones.. or get some niche in-ear earphones and stick it in your ear (small drivers/associated impulse response, clarity, detail, etc should work well for 50-55 dB sleeping levels). One thing to watch out for is... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 Seems to me that Brent Jessee speaks well of the EH and JJ's but I may be mixing him up with another tube site that I go to. Hmmm . . . I think that you may be mixing him up with another site. | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 @billpete , I remembered a thread where someone was sort of considering/looking for a SLP-98, but I couldn’t remember the thread or who the OP was, so when I got the preowned notification email from Cary Direct this morning, I figured I’d pass the... | |
| I am sad What else is there to say? How about tariff talk? @mapman , go for it! | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? I don't have a TT, but I know a few that I would buy immediately if I ever did get one. Jackson Browne Running on Empty would be one and so would Bruce Sprinsteen Darkness On The Edge Of Town. Someone already mentioned Linda Ronstadt Simple Drea... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Buy high/sell low is my motto. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype Jason Bourne Steals the Blackbriar Files LOL! | |
| Vintage JBL J2080s from the 1990s... They are going for $200 on ebay. | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @immatthewj Thanks for mentioning the Carpenters Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. I just listened to it, and would not have had the pleasure if you hadn't mentioned it. For me, there's a lot to love about this recording!!! First of all, Karen's vo... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. Have you picked up the 2018 release: "Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?" I had gone through one of my CD buying binges two or three years ago, and this was one of them. Up until this thread started I had only gave it one spin be... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 , at the risk of being trolled by the Shea "brothers" (Chriso and Tim), I'll give you a quick update of sorts. The maintenance I was going to do never got past the staging process. In other words I had everything unplugged and moved o... |
