| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? @pdreher new stock tubes, particularly Tung Sol KT150's take a long time to settle in... at least that has been my experience I can't disagree with you. My only experience with Tung Sol KT150's was in an overpriced, crappy, US made integrated... | |

| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Besides, tubes take time to burn in and sound optimal... anywhere from 50 to 250 hours depending on the tube. @pdreher This has not been my experience. Not even close. Even if it was, there are 720 hours in a month. Plenty of time to determin... | |

| I changed a Tube and… Not trying to rain on your parade, but if you think Russian made GL reissues are good, dive into NOS. Brent Jesse should be your guy. It doesn’t have to be more expensive. Look at Baldwin 12AU7 too to get some lower cost ideas. He lists every tub... | |
| Buying used from Canada @goldenways The best source for this info is from a fair and balanced TV channel called Foxnews. Oh please...Fox is an easy target, but go ahead, name an actually fair and balanced news source. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I can hear it on the remaster , Qobuz. almost sounds like it could be something intentional if you didn’t know what it was, like a Mark Tree, or, I hear a Mark Tree and no squeak? | |
| Phono pre amp Presumably your INT has a built in PS? What is your amp and phono rig? I ask because for $650 + $150 shipping you could get a killer tube phono that will very likely beat anything built in. Although the delivery timeline may be a non-starter. ... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Rush, Hemispheres, Victoria BC, Nov 2, 1978 (I was 14) | |
| Validation I sometimes wonder what my local dealer would think of my system, in my room, but mostly because I didn’t buy everything from him. Although he does sell some of the gear I’ve bought used. But not for validation, rather ideas/suggestions from a d... | |
| MacArthur Park And more recently, Rosabel's 2013 Club Mixes of Donna Summer's version! But the RH version is it for me. My dad had the LP. | |
| Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades PS. Although the stock JJ-ECC83MG tubes are remarkably good I've settled on NOS Telefunken's which I prefer slightly over NOS Mullard's, which I like better in my DAC over the Tele's. Obviously a very subjective and personal choice, but I believe... | |
| Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades $650 actually, $150 is freight. Made in Japan by Shoichi Yoshimoto and sold direct. The GoldNote PH-10 and PSU-10 it replaced list for $3300. Dealer cost is $1980, distributor cost is around $1,500. Probably costs $500 to make them, maybe less. ... | |
| Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades Sounds like you might re-tip the cart, so in the meantime if you are exploring tube phono stages, check out the Softone Model 4. $800 delivered to the US direct from the manufacturer. Don't be fooled by the low price and unattractive (IMO) indust... | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms Glad you solved the problem. What were the isolating and coupling solutions you were using? |
