Tube Tester for 2A3
If you can get more than one, email me. I've been looking, and prices are going the way of NOS tubes. The TranscendentTube Analyzer is something I have been looking at, because it will test about everything, and if I am going to spend that kind of...

Any opinions on the Audio-Technica OC9ML II?
This cartridge seems to be a perrenial favorite on VA. I'd really like to compare it to a 103r, as some have on VA, just to see what all of the fuss is about. But I have been so happy with the 103r that I figured why spend the $$$$. If I do break ...

One thing you guys have to remember is that there are Suprateks out there that use other tubes in the phono stage. Mine is one, it uses only 6c45pi. Cello's is another, his uses (correct me if I am wrong Larry) 2 6c45pi and 2 6922. The 6c45pi are ...

DL103 vs. DL103R
I'll tell you this: If you decide to try it, and don't like it, I'll buy it from you. I can always use a spare, and it would take some of the hassle out of it. I know it stills sucks having to go through all that crap, but either way, you'll come ... 
Back into vinyl - part 1
I've done that also. I have to say, if I could get away with it, that my system would be on the deck, with the only walls being the house behind the speakers.Everyone needs to try this at least once. 
DL103 vs. DL103R
I've got a 103r, and it behaves nothing like that. Read TWL's review.

Mine is an early version, and is jarrah & copper. I'm guessing there is something inside my towers, as there is some discoloration. But, it doesn't bother me at all.

Hi Bill, Just checked in and saw your post. Thanks. I know the M2 is better than the M1, but I didn't think there was that much difference. Now the M3 was another story. Remember, it could just be my ears. But I think the Supratek is better. I'd g... 
First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No
Bill,Just saw this post. Look at the Supratek thread, I left you a reply.Joe

Bill,I use the Supratek with AN gear. I have a Soro SE Phono, which is the M1 with a P2SE in one box. It does have a few mods. I also use AN speakers, CD player and some AN cables (I constantly switch, AN and others), both silver and copper.While ... 
Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner
Rich,Sorry to hear that. I kinda like Mustang Sally, maybe once a year! Try one more thing before you get rid of it. Turn off all the breakers in your box, except for the stereo outlets. If it stops, you have a bad ground somewhere, or it is bleed...

Very good question. First off, take a look at this system. As you will see, even tube amps can be driven by battery. I'm hoping the system owner will chime in here, because this is one of his specialties.
