| Pre-amp Suggestion @nadimjaber mine is Graaf GM 100 (TL). I'm using Mullards for all signal tubes and Valvo PL504 for power. | |
| Tube preamp recommendation for a simaudio 760a amplifier Look into Octave preamps. They have transformer driven outputs so no chance of passing DC to the amp. My amp doesn’t have coupling caps so any DC on its inputs, my speakers are toast. I use Octave 300HP SE in my setup and it sounds great. | |
| Isotek EVO3 Syncro UNI Just added one (16A version ) to my system. Had a nagging hum from my power conditioner transformer (even on a dedicated 20A line). It hummed louder when I switched my amp to Class A (higher load).Tried my spare PS audio humbuster which reduced th... | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. +1 for corner platforms. I have had the same issue as you. Crawl space under the floor so foot falls were a big issue. I ordered a set (4) of "D" rated corner platforms to support my rack and haven’t had a problem since. Here's AG thread I posted ... | |

| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. Had a very pleasant experience with Damian and Michal at Mytek. They went above and beyond to fix an issue with my unit. | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I bought the KA-RC1 (Kirmuss) on the cheap but soon grew tired of the process outlined in the manual and the Kirmuss surfactant leaves residue in the grooves. Gave up on the machine for a good while. Then realized I could just use the ultrasonic c... | |

| Ortofon MC Cartridge Problems ?? I have run Quintet Black S for 4 yrs until a Shelter 501 replaced it. No issues with Orto. Kept it as a backup. On one occasion the cart tracked the dead wax and ended up on the label area (Damn Kirmuss cleaning solution residue collected on the s... | |
