| Newbie to analog Wow. If Elizabeth is suggesting that the new bride's Wife Acceptance Factor for a stereo was already at zero, I wish that guy all the best of luck. | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? The delay in post response now makes this site terribly inefficient. | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? Need more info. Is there a budget? Does he have a moving magnet or moving coil cartridge (or both)? What other equipment will he be using it with? What kind of sound is he looking for?The more you can provide the more specific other folks here can... | |
| Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent I don't see any phono input on the back of the amp. You might need a phono preamp in between the 'table and the amp, but I'm taking a stab in the dark here since I'm not familiar with your equipment. | |
| Your Worst WAF Incident Alonski, this may not be as bad as yours or Davehrab's, but I'll contribute. One night my wife had a terrible headache and was nauseated and just all around felt like crap. After attending to her for a while and finally getting her settled in to b... | |
| Which band's vinyl catalog is consistently great? The Creedence Clearwater Revival repressings from Analogue Productions are extremely well done. | |
| Buying Tubes Again; Maddening Shoot an email over to Jim McShane when you get a chance. He is very knowledgable and provides great service:jimmcshane@prodigy.netI don't think he recommends the Genalex with a phono stage, but he will give you plenty of options. His website is h... | |
| true confession I had a friend over to check out the sound of an all tube setup because he had never heard one before. Right in the middle of the first album, an EL-34 on one of the monoblocks fried and I didn't have a replacement for it. | |
| What speakers did you like w/ Cary Sixpacs? I have Klipsch Cornwall IIIs paired with the Sixpacs and I love them. Most speakers with high sensitivity will make tube amps sing. | |
| Separate Insurance Policy - LP's, Memorabilia, Etc I just recently did this through State Farm via a personal articles policy added to homeowner's insurance. They will insure just about anything as long as you have receipts/documentation. | |
| Tube amp on/off: best practice? I had a Winged C EL34 go bad on a power amp and it looked like it was shooting sparks inside the tube. It was crazy. I'm glad I was there to cut it off immediately. | |
| Cardas Headphone Cord for Sennheiser HD600 Phones There was a noticable difference for me after burn-in on HD650's. Your quoted price is definitely a good one. I would say go for it if you are using a headphone amp. I haven't listened to it without one, though. | |
| Looking for a new tube preamp I upgraded from the DJH to the Cary SLP98 and do not regret the decision one bit. | |
| Cary AE-3 Mk II Call Kevin at Upscale Audio since they are the same price point and he sells both. I found him to be very generous with his time.I haven't heard the MkII, but I had the AE-3 DJH and loved it. You might already know this, but the main difference st... |
