Mapleshade boards under speakers
I couldn't afford Mapleshade blocks at the time so I got Myrtlewood plinths from Battlerock Studios. I placed them underneath my KEF 104/2 speakers and got great results. They are a little over 2" thick. The Myrtlewood plinths along with brass foo...

6C33C and 6C33C-B different?
I was researching 6C33C tubes and found this thread.Has anyone noticed a sonic difference or quality difference between 6C33C tubes from Novosibirsk or from Ulyanovsk? I often find listings for 6C33C tubes from these areas and don't know which one... 
What's a properly lit 6SN7 tube look like?
Hi DanWhat kind of 6SN7 tube are you having a problem with? Also do you think the tube got damaged when the amp was shipped to you and that is what cause the 6SN7 to only glow at the top? Where do you get your 6SN7 tubes from? I've bought from Jim... 
Best redbook cd-only player ?
If you are on a budget my suggestion would be an Emotiva ERC-2 CDP. It is built like a tank and Emotiva has a great warranty as well as customer service. They also have a 30 day trial period. Another combination I liked that I used in a headphone ... 
Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic.
Hi JymcI assume you mean Mogami gold standard cable? You make a valid point about the cables used in recording studios etc. I've always wondered that myself. If the pros use Mogami XLRs etc in the studios and in live events why use more expensive ... 
Any thoughts on the Shunyata Venom3S
Hi Richard. I have the Venom 3S on my Oppo BDP-83SE as well as a Jolida FX Tube DAC Version 1. I'm also having very good results with these power cords in place as well. The Shunyata 3S power cord replaced a newer Baohing Volex 17604 cord on the J... 
Which USB Cable do you like using
I've honestly had good luck with premium Belkin and Dynex USB cables. My audio systems have sounded really nice with them in place when I wanted to use a computer as a source. I haven't felt the need to change at all. 
Review: Dodd Audio MK II 120 wpc w/sonicap upgrade Tube amp
Man what a nice review. Very good read. IT is interesting to see an amp doing 120W/channel using EL34s and not KT-88 or Tung Sol KT-120s. I was looking up info about Gary Dodd and some of his tube gear and found out Gary Dodd is very ill with life...

My Thanks too Kijanki I ordered a pair for myself to see how they do. I have some B&O earphones from years ago and I'm not liking their sound after listening to various AKG headphones. I tried the refurbed Monster Turbine headphones for $40 an...

Hi BDGregoryThat is quite the TT you got there. I downloaded the Q-Up templates from NeedleDoctor and will try to see if I can situate the Q-Up properly on my TT. Thanks for sharing. 
Jolida 502B upgrading to Accuphase E206
Hi RattosecondI took another look at the Accuphase E206 and saw they kept a pretty cool feature from the E202. There is a switch in the back that allows you to use the E206 as is like an integrated or just as an amplifier only. I find that to be p...

Hi BdgregoryWhat TT and Tonearm do you have? I'm thinking about getting the Q-Up for my Thorens TD 125 Mk II which has a Rega RB250 tonearm. As for the Q-Up there are mixed reviews I found. On Amazon there are a bunch of reviews that don't seem pl...
