| Can anyone recommend a new or NOS 300B or 805 vacuum tube? Linlai makes good tubes at reasonable prices! Don't fall for the belief that only premium priced tubes will do. | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas @mijostyn +1: A 7 watt SET amp has a really limited dynamic range unless you have Klipschorns (100db sensitivity). To hear an appreciable increase in loudness with the Sabrina's an amplifier of at least 70wpc is required. 10 x the wpc = twice the ... | |
| how to fix a CD player The transport mechanism rides on rails. These require lubrication - lithium grease. My old Pioneer has the same problem - it gets stuck a few minutes into all CD's. I will have to buy some lithium grease and lube the rails so the transport can tra... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Altec Stonehenge I or II will easily fill that space using the NAD 375 amp. I have the Stonehenge I's. | |
| What are the absolute legendary Snell model no.s? Type A is IMO the best model. I have an original owner pair, along with E's and K's. I don't think the very expensive Audio Note version of the E is worth that much! The stock E sounds very fine indeed! | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? Not worth the restoration cost. | |

| I see the issue with ABX blind testing An A/B switch box is needed to evaluate those power cords. The hand switching delay makes comparison difficult because aural memory is so fleeting! Like the human eye watching fireworks. By the time a switch is made the aural memory is gone! | |

| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Speakers came several months later: a store-demo pair of Infinity Monitor 1A's with Walsh tweeters for $450 (list price $900). Then an Empire 698 TT/MicroAcoustics 2002E cartridge from Stereo Discounters in Maryland for approximately $400. All thi... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Marantz 2270 bought at Rabson's on 57th Street, NYC for $389 in 1976 along with a pair of Koss Pro4AA phones ($40). Speakers came later! | |

| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable Two sane responses! I have the PLX 1000 with a Denon 103R mc cartridge. It doesn't sound excessively bright! |
