Fuse for Jolida SJ 502 A
It seems like it doesn't recognize the presence of input. You may check condition of input tube and if it's normal than I'd suggest looking arround elements on the DC and signal path for both input and splitting tubes.It's more likely an electroni... 
Differences between 6922 and 12AU7?
12AU7 is a high-gain tube very often used in power amplifiers as the driving one. It's also dual-triode that can be used in differential inverting connection just like OPAmp.6922 is also dual triode has a lower gain than 12AU7 but used for the sam... 
My Dumb Question of the Day
Gosh!!!What 4 the JC sake R U talkin' about???What kind of efficient transfer???It's NOT sound waves are being transfered but mechanical waves of stylus induce electro-magnetic force emf across the coil of cartridge as per Faradeys' Law of electro... 
Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Totem Forrest?
Forrest has fuller range, deeper bass and harder slam. I'm not sure of pricing but probably Forrest is less expencive than Grand Piano. 
Sound changes
Do not expect the sound to be changed a lot.High level cables have a large diameter so they look like high level i.e. to be different from generic speaker wires but in reality offer almost the same performance.High level cables won't mean it's the... 
BAT or Lamm
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 has both sound and remote. 
Tube Biasing in Amplifiers
Rrick,Higher biasing implies to lower gain. Lower gain implies to less distortions follow?On the other hand higher biasing implies to higher stress and higher temperatures and lower tube life.In tube circuitry biasing is limited with load of the p... 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah
The latest one I've recently listened to and can't realy stop listening is LHasa singing spanish in latin romance style.The sexiest and the most attractive voice I've ever heard. 
How often do you demagnitize your MC cartridge?
In most cases it's not recommended. The cartridge normally must be magnetized. Even if you believe on such drastical improvements tend to do it not any often than twice per year no matter how often you play your records.Don't ever do it with MM ca...

How to ship albums?
If you're planning selling them separately, than bags unlimited www.bagsunlimited.com is the way to go.Please place the record outside the jacket. Preferably have a jacket plastic sleeve as well if you want to preserve jacket good. Place your reco... 
Tube Biasing in Amplifiers
Newbee,In general I wouldn't say that this is an imagination but closer to truth but not to all tubes and tube components. In general I can state that higher bias current almost identically to transistors bring tubes to more stable and distortionl... 
tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel
Drubin,Zaikesman has more powerful MB180 but I suspect that 3.6 need something like MB225 or MB450. 
Bi amping with Tube and Solid State
Murph...,Your suggestions seem to be fine but you're still facing a "double-degradation" using passive crossovers on two sides amplifier and speaker-embedded.A capacitor tended to bring more distortions than any active element so mainly a lot of e... 
Tube Biasing in Amplifiers
Please, be noted folks that if there's too much under-bias the mismatch with transformer primary circuit load may take place that can also affect negatively on tube life and sonics.
