| Need tube help with tube buffer 6SN7 tubes I'd have to question whether it's worth that kind of money for tubes in a buffer stage. My Cary SLP-98 uses (4) 6SN7 tubes, two in the gain stage and two in the buffer stage. I have found that the two in the gain stage make quite a bit more differ... | |
| Ray Manzarek RIP Truly a sad day. | |
| How to increase the gain on a preamp Is it possible that you are running a low output MC into a MM or low gain phono stage? If so, you may need to use a Step Up Transformer (SUT) for your phono. | |
| Cables more hype than value? 05-21-13: MresseguieMy wife and son already give me strange looks when I tell them about this or that piece of audio gear. ;-)Don't worry.....you'll get used to those looks, and it won't bother you anymore. LOL!! | |

| Need tube help with tube buffer 6SN7 tubes The only ones that you listed that I have heard are the JAN 6SN7WGTA, mine were Sylvania with black bases, and sounded pretty damn good. I don't think you can do much better for less than $100 for a MP. | |

| Anyone interested in stereophile estate auction? Thanks for the link Mofimadness. This is the link that first popped up on my Google search.Yeah, not really any high end audio gear, though the reel to reel decks look like fun, if you know a good technician. | |
| Anyone interested in stereophile estate auction? You got me! You made me look up that stupid website, and it has no audio gear listed on it anywhere! Directory of names, Board Members, Links, just a bunch of junk. If you want to sell audio gear, post an ad or a proper link. | |
| New cart for under 1K David, as much as I am enjoying my Dynavector XX-2 mk II cartridge, I don't think that it will help to hide your JM speakers brightness. The Dynavector itself is not bright, but it is not rolled off either, if used with bright gear, the brightness... | |
| advice on pricing uncommon gear Unfortunately, the re-sale price on uncommon gear is pretty low in general. People want to buy the brands that get lots of advertising/reviews. Those brands hold their re-sale values well. Little known brands tend to suffer on re-sale value, which... |
