Phono Preamp Tube Rush
If you prefer tubes and have a low output moving coil it is best to use a solid state phono pre and employ tubes in the downstream electronics.  My recommendation would be to go with Nagra BPS.  It has high enough gain for low output MCs, runs off... 
Going Battery Powered
The areas where DC power gives you the best return is where the signals being amplified are tiny such as in a phono preamp or turntable. I have an turntable that is battery operated and a Nagra phono preamp that runs off a 9 volt battery. Unlike o...

I've not been able to find Will Vincent's website, could someone post it or is that not permitted on this forum format.  Thanks. 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
I do not think it is necessary to use tubes on horns.  At Axpona this year the Avantgarde room was using an Esoteric integrated amp, 30 watts per channel with AG Duos and it sounded terrific.  Perhaps others on this forum heard that room and can c... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
My room is 23' X 20' which I assume is smaller than most dedicated sound rooms.  That is what I am referring to as a small room.  In that space they work fine. Most venues where Trios are being displayed are much larger than that.  I should have s... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
I have had many speakers over my lifetime and have spent a lot of money on stuff.  The best long term speaker system I have encountered (and own for the past 8 years) are the Avantgarde Trios.  On the used market a pair with subs in 19 ohm configu... 
Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price)
My favorite for overall best speaker for the money is a used pair of Avantgarde Trios.  Average price used in mint condition is around $20K.  There is a reason this speaker has been around relatively unchanged for the past 25 years.  Most speakers...

Turntable Advice?
I am unable to find a website for Phoenix Engineering.  Does anyone know if they are still in business.   
Looking for Klimo distributor or contact information
 I did contact Mr Hart at Audio Advancements and learned that Klimo, the engineer for the company has retired and he has sold the company to an Italian manufacturer but they are not imported into the US.  Thus their products are no longer availabl... 
Fozgometer Rental Anyone?
I like the rental idea.  I own a Foz also which I recently recalibrated per Analog Planet recommendation and would rent.  Does anyone have a Feickert mounting jig they might want to rent? My user name is my last name without the L on the end. Call... 
Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing
lohanimal, do you still have an Amazon Referenz TT (which incidentally has a wonderful record weight included in the price of the TT)?  If so I would like to correspond, el see el oh dee at charter dot net. 
Wish to Correspond with Anyone with an Amazon Turntable
I have had this TT for 18 months and am on my third string. There is no description of how to set the tension in the owners manual.  One assumes that the minimum tension needed to spin the platter without slippage would suffice.  By the same token...

Stringreen, thanks for the admonishment.  Mofi, got your email and was able to print just fine, for which I thank you.  Others need not respond.
