| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** My Luxman CL38U SE came w/Gold Pin JJ ECC 802s and Gold Pin JJ ECC 803s tubes. I've had them in my preamp for over a year and a half still very quiet. No desire to change at this time. | |
| Some Strange Behavior From a Hegel 360 My CJ ET3 SE mentioned that you had to reverse polarity on the speakers. If this was normal procedure in the Hegel I would assume it would be in the instruction book that accompanies the Hegel. | |

| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? Back about a year ago my dealer had 3 pairs of Aerial 6's (one set was mine). All trade in's for the new T series. They were all gone in less than 2 weeks. If your into HT try to find an Aerial CC-3 or CC-5. | |
| Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps? The Luxman PD-171A is rock solid. Weighs about 60 pounds. I can even tap on the TT and nothing happens. Plus it is a real looker. | |
| Luxman CL34: How does it compare today? I wonder how it compares w/my current Luxman CL-38U SE. | |

| Aerial 5T impressions I listen to a lot of Jazz and acoustic blues and Jazz. W/that music you really don't need a sub just keep the Speakers around 18" from the back wall. Having said that you will get an added benefit to larger ensemble music w/a sub. I use a Paradigm... | |
| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp The JC-5 is essentially 2 JC-1's in a single box. The JC-1 Mono's have been discontinued. You can bridge 2 JC-5's as mono blocks and get 1000 wpc. | |
| Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here? I've had my RME for about nine month's and I find the sound transparent and dynamic. Picked it over the Chord Qutest. I use the short delay slow and tweaked the top end w/the 5 Band Parametric EQ. Also to make your life easier go Audio Science for... | |
| Anyone using DS-Audio ST-50 Stylus Cleaner?? tooblue The Turntable is working out great. Much better than my old Linn. I also use a VPI RCM to keep the records clean. Also how often do you clean the gel. | |
