Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi Guys,My Syrah is working pretty well but I have yet to find the perfect combination of tubes to maximize its potential. This thread is so time consuming and I'm so lazy! Has anyone compiled a list of tube compliments that are proven to work wel...

I receive a great deal of comfort from you guys. Probably much more than you realize. Since this thread began I have had mixed emotions about my good fortune contrasted with so many people out there with little or no support in similar circumstanc...

Thanks for the well wishing from everyone. And Paul, I knew you'd fit right in with the new firm. I do hope that Lis looks for a house with a dedicated listening room for you. My world has been a little rocked by this particular visit with my doct...

You guys are so darned faithful. Thank you. I was going to hold off on posting to this thread until after my doctor's visit tomorrow. Honestly, I know that my current chemo is no longer working. I'm not feeling well at all considering how good I h... 
ZYX Airy 3 vs 90X
I have an Airy 3 Silver SB low output and installed it last weekend. It is not a forward sounding cartridge at all, IMO. It's dead quiet in the groove and enjoys the qualities Wrp describes in regard to resolving the innermost details in the lower... 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
Denis,This seems like a perfect opportunity to jump inside your table and do the repair yourself. Even though I have no experience with a SOTA I would venture a guess that the pulley and motor are an integral combination and that proper alignment ... 
Will Linn 5120 aktiv cards fit an LK100 amp?
Kenny,The LK100 is a stereo amp. I hope I didn't mislead anyone on this. From what I've read the stereo cards (single card) go into some of the later model amps whereas the mono cards are specific to older stereo amps like the LK100. My LK100's ha... 
Will Linn 5120 aktiv cards fit an LK100 amp?
The LK100 takes two mono cards. Ask the seller if it's a single card (stereo). My guess is that it won't fit/work.

Not amazing at all. Just been there and done that. Amazing is putting people in a suspended, near death state for surgery and bringing them back alive. 
Insurance salesmen and audiophiles
Selling names of known customers with the ability to buy is a big business and one that is profitable. Ever try to register your software without completing the required fields? And, then you get what you regard as spam? Ever subscribe to one maga...

Joe,Thanks for shaking my tree. I've been remiss this week in posting to this thread. In spite of wanting things to slow down some I still have much on my plate. My wife took on the project of helping me hang some inexpensive drapes in the music r... 
How do I go backwards?
Let's help with this one guys. J.D. is seriously ill and isn't going to get better any time soon unless he lives to make the heart transplant list. One must be very near death to get a shot at a transplant and there are too few donors. From one th... 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
Neil certainly covered a lot of the positive aspects of owning vinyl plus there are others. It is a lot of fun discovering older recordings which, in my opinion, are some of the best sonically and many of them are great performances by artists who... 
Has anyone cryo'd a tonearm,or phono cartridge?
I just received my ZYX Airy 3 Silver SB yesterday. Some of the internals are cryo'd prior to assembly. Give me a month and I'll comment again if this thread is still showing up on My Page. You may write me later privately if you remember and are s...
