| Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm... I agree with David double 9. When I was selling Paradigm a dealer down the road sold NHT. I lost count of how many people traded in their NHTs for Paradigm.I was underwelmed by the first series Reference, The series 2 was a whole different animal.... | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? The internet has already all but destroyed hi end.The biggest problem any dealer has is having to match a price someone got on the net. When i was still in the business we would loan out equipment for home demos all the time. We never pressured th... | |
| Best EL34 ? After just getting a unbelievable quad of Mullard fat base EL34s I now deem them number 1. The set I had was clearly on their last legs, but still far better then anything current. This new quad look and test like new...and I am blown away. The Am... | |

| 6922 tube rolling recommendations If Selling the same tubes that everybody has for a third of the price they and your buddy Andy sell them for...I'm guilty. I won't bother to share my dealings with your "tube guru" in public. The way you blow his horn, I wouldn't be surprized if y... | |

| 6922 tube rolling recommendations I agree Joe's tube lore is an interesting read. But bear in mind this is coming from a guy who thinks all 12AU7s and 12AX7s suck. He then goes on to sing the praises of the 5751 tube. The 5751 is a good tube...in the right application. It is NOT a... | |
| How much should I pay for old LP12? If it's a first or even 2nd generation Akito check out the bearings. Chances are if the table was played often, the bearings are shot. And you cannot get replacement stylus for the K9. If the power supply is original it too is probably near shot. ... | |
| 6922 tube rolling recommendations High db, stick with the Amperex and Siemens. When it came to the 6DJ8 family they were in a league of their own. As usual with NOS tubes, older is better. How many tubes does your unit use? Hopefully not more then two. Prices for primo tubes in th... | |

| Record-playing Rituals? Steveline is right. I used to manage a store that sold Linn and that was the first time I saw the putty. But not being a Linnie I would not do anything a Linnie would do. I'm coming out now and saying I am anti-linnetik (there goes my rating). I w... | |
| sound dynamic vs, paradigm You can buy Sound Dynamic speakers at the Audio Advisor with a 30 day money back policy. Buy them, and have your dealer loan you the Paradigms for the weekend...then keep the one you like. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? On an average night I'm not cleaning records. I walk toward my rack, wine in hand and open up the tray of my CD player which sits next to my turntable. I place the glass of wine on the open Cd tray and brush my record with an AQ brush and clean th... |
