NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1
Well I ended up buying two matched pairs of used Amperex PQ 6922 gold pin U.S. made Orange label tubes. Just couldn`t justify the higher priced white label Amperex tubes. I want to thank Bill, a Gon member, for putting up with all my email questio...

Use of adapter to convert 15amp P/C to 20 amp IEC
Byfo,your cords do not need a 20amp rating. If your connected load is below 1800va you are fine. 1300-1400va no problem.Jim 
Use of adapter to convert 15amp P/C to 20 amp IEC
That 2400va rating is the max load that could be connected to the power conditioner? I am surprised the unit doesn`t say 1920va. 80% of 2400va=1920va. Well what ever, If you want to use a 15 amp power cord and use the adapter to connect to the 20 ...

Turntable plays 33.5 Lps very slow

Turntable plays 33.5 Lps very slow
I agree with rick. A belt will stretch out with age. I am curious what kind of powder did you use? Odd the 45rpm platter speed was fine before you used the powder. By chance did you use this powder when you first set up the TT? 
Impact of Ferrite Chokes on power and signal
"Sakti" "on line" is a pretty good brand. I use one on my Sony W222ES CD recorder It knocked off the digital glare I was getting. I placed it on the power cord just where the cord enters the unit. If you have a Digital component that sounds bright...
