| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) charliee, what would you call your own post ? | |
| Japanese tube amps. Wavac, Air Tight, Audio Tekne, Komuro etc. jayossi13, Air Tight and Harbeth is an unexpected match, I haven't heard of anyone with this set up. | |
| Japanese tube amps. Wavac, Air Tight, Audio Tekne, Komuro etc. larryi, that's definitely hard way, a bit sad. Yes, I just forgot to mention the brands that you did. Japanese tube amplification deserves most serious attention. I remember, there used to be a dealer in Virginia called Hi-Fi Farm who had many ... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? I bet, at this level I would choose Japanese MC as well. I don't like too much energy in high frequences. Japanese understand sound, no doubt about it. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? mulveling, judging by your description Ortofon doesn't sound appealing. Do you like Lyra cartridges ? | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Of course, it's big floorstanders. What else can realistically reproduce what was recorded? They are not dinosaurs, dinosaurs are those people who don't understand it. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? dogberry, yes, I don’t hear much about SME turntables. About Nottingham turntables as well, as different as they are. mulveling, you are right. It’s difficult to even audition them all. | |

| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. Well, there is a matched pair of NOS Mullards 10M with gold pins for $799 obo on ebay. He sells them here too for $999. That would probably be fine but too expensive for me. | |
| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. First, I don't do Chinese, and second - they are not available. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? No, it was not directed towards you. | |
| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. There is also NOS Raytheon long black plate for $500 for a matched pair, from a different dealer whose prices are often the double. | |
| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. Amperex NOS, made in the Netherlands, is available from a very reputable dealer, from $200 to $450 for a matched pair. But would they be any better in my set up than Mullard or RCA ? That's the question. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Well, they can have them all. |
