| Help with Cary SLP-98 They all use the eight-pin octal base. I’ve never seen an 6SN7 with the ST glass envelope. Chinese company Linlai makes some with the odd shape envelope. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Hey Jude is the best pop song! I remember it well from its initial release in the Fall of '69. It has real ear worm catchiness! | |
| You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent? Take advantage of the increase of LP sales and open a store selling only new factory-sealed LP'S . Along with turntables, tone arms, cartridges and phono stages. Offer free alignment with every TT and cartridge sold. | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp Don't use that amp! | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? Herb Reichert uses the Falcon LS3/5A ($4K) as a reference, so he knows what good sound is! Herb's writing style is conversationalist: he tends to tell a story and draw you in! | |
| Multiple DVD Players I am with the OP on collecting and playing DVD'S at home. | |
| Multiple DVD Players Just buy two 5-Disc DVD changers. Waste of money to buy six DVD players! You did know that DVD changers have been available for ages? | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? The US and UK magazines have good writers. I enjoy Herb Reichert's column in Stereophile. Understanding neither German nor Japanese I can't comment upon their magazines. | |

| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Get a variac and slowly power it up without connecting it to speakers or preamp. This will ease the power supply caps back to life after long storage. | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade This Audion GD is just a Class D circuit stuffed into a KT88 glass envelope. It has zero relation to a real vacuum tube. A clever marketing ploy! Add some LED's for that tube-like glow and the gullible are smitten and like Jay's Iyagi proclaim it ... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? I heard Jay's Audio Lab system played on YouTube through my TCL tablet. It was playing THAT Elvis song "I love you baby ..." from Tidal. Execrable sound quality! The Wilson speakers looked and sounded like what you'd see at a rock concert! So a qu... | |
| DH Labs power cables I have had that DH Labs cable from preamp to amp for several years and feel no compelling need to change it. So a thumbs-up for DH Labs! | |
| DH Labs power cables I have one DH Labs cable from preamp to amp. Does it sound better than one of my Audioquest or Transparent cables? I don’t know or care! I chose the DH Labs Silver IC because it was the only good 6-foot cable I had other than some cheap Ch*nese si... | |
| DH Labs power cables Another case of "I bought and installed the new cable and the sound improved markedly!" Unless you did a blind test with someone helping to make the switch all bets are off! As Perry Mason would say "Not admissable in Court". |
