Good Quality Distilled Water???
I have to agree with the RRL camp. I also tried many different things, and none work as well for me. I also tried them based on recommendations of Patrick, Doug, and others here. I also have learned that there are people on this forum who have muc... 
Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts
Hi guys.I got the new VTA on the fly adjuster from Pete Riggle Audio. It's called the VTAF. I am making a new armboard for it, and will report how it works once finished. It's about $100, and will work with any Rega mount arm.It looks pretty good,...

Preamp Deal of the Century
Abe,You know you should be selling those 5881's here on the 'Gon. You could have made another Syrah owner very happy! And I can use them in the Audio Note too. Maybe I'll get lucky and win....Joe 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I emailed someone who is considerably more tube savvy than I, and he said; "6C45P is unique. There is no replacement whatsoever." So, it looks like i bought the 5842's for nothing. They DID NOT WORK in the Syrah.I also emailed Mick, "who ought to ...

I've got the Teres too. You can't go wrong with this combo. Amandarae, that Tung-Sol 6c4, will it work fot the 6c45pi? 
Teres/Scheu-Help
I disagree Bmckenney about TWL and Teres both. If he doesn't know, he says he doesn't know. I never see him deviate from the facts. Just because you don't like his or anyone else's answer is no reason to slam their response. I always thoughht that... 
Teres/Scheu-Help

Larry,I can tell you one thing: If you have the 6c45 tube, you're stuck with it. I tried the 5842's, and they don't work. I need to research tube specs to find something that I can sub for the Russian tube. On the other hand, if I keep the gain sw... 
Phono preamp question
I agree with Newbee. On my Supratek, I keep the gain switch on low and turn the volume control way past noon. With the gain on high I can sometimes pick up some tube microphonics, even at low levels. But, with it on low, I can crank it up with no ... 
Denon, Shelter arm choices
Doug,Budget, you're kidding, right? If you remeber when I started to go higher end vinyl about 8 months ago, I wanted to do it all for 2k. Man, that was some good single malt that night!!!!That said, I must say that I have been able to find some v...

OK all, I won a quad of Raytheon "windmill" black plate 5842's yesterday on ebay. Look here:Raytheon 5842 So, now I have a third set to try in the Syrah. I hope these offer considerable performance over the 6c45pi-e. I'm not going to spend $200+ f...
