| Tube amp down, need guidance from the experienced OK, lesson learned: power tubes should be replaced after 2000 hours or so. How about signal tubes, like the 12AT7, 12AU, 12AX, 6922, be it them in the amp or pre amp?I have no music but sort of feeling lucky it only seems the tube went bad.Thanks ... | |
| Tube amp down, need guidance from the experienced Thanks all for the input. Exactly what I was looking for.My KT88s are probably 5 to 6000 hours old.

| Which USB to S/PDIF converter with Metrum Octave? Great tips. Thanks to all!I thought I should come back and share my thoughts as of now. First off, too bad I'm not in Europe or the US so can't audition any of these options. The iFi iUSB looks great and there has been quite a bit of enthusiasm fr... | |
| Uprgrading my Metrum Octave DAC Hello Linaeum. Was wondering what you ended up with and why. I'm looking into pulling the trigger on a USB to S/PDIF converter for my Metrum Octave in the next couple of months, and the Audiophilleo is among the top 3 in my list, so interested in ... | |
| Purist speaker cables re-termination? Thank you all for the input, which is in line with where I was coming from - hence the thread. I wanted to make sure I wasn't being a prick to the dealer without justification. | |
| Which USB to S/PDIF converter with Metrum Octave? Loftarasa,Thanks for the tip on iFi products. Been doing a fair amount of reading since receiving your tip, and the iUSB is well reviewed by many users. The iLink seems to be too new and can't find much more than speculation about its performance.... | |
| Which USB to S/PDIF converter with Metrum Octave? Naggots,Thanks for the lead. I believe you are referring to the JKenny Ciunas, right? It was not on my radar screen, so great tip. It's probably too new, which explains why I can't find references - let alone matching to an Octave.But I recall tha... | |

| Best reasonably priced power cord for Lamm LL2 Aronsss,I've had my LL2 deluxe for about two years now, and use it with a DIY cable by Chris VenHaus (VHAudio), and I'm very happy. I cannot comment on the best cable, as I have not tried others (other than stock, that is).You might want to dig my... | |
| Anyone tighten the bolts surrounding the drivers? And you do this with a torque-meter, or just using your hands and best estimation of torque being applied? (Which would be my approach) | |
| Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES FWIW, I had an RCD-1072 and loved it, but ended up selling it one year after buying a Squeezebox Touch (was $300 then). Playing the same CD (wav image and CD itself), using the analog signal out of both units and into a fairly resolving system, I ... | |
| DIY subwoofer cable, RCA, 30 feet long? Thanks guys for the ideas. I failed to mention I was only looking for DIY because I live overseas and can't access all the sources you mention (I go through the hurdle of logistics with components/IC/SC, but don't think it's worth with cheap sub c... | |
| Rotel RDG-1520 Hi. I don't have experience with this unit, but have had Rotel amp/pre/cd player and I'm somewhat familiar with PC audio so will try and help.It does look like an all-in one solution. Not sure that's a good thing in digital, though.To answer your ... | |
