| Best steak to eat while listening to your rig? I don't eat steak while listening but my favorite is a NY strip. A charcoal grill is the way to go. I have to say the flavor is far better than a steak cooked on a gas grill. Everyone thinks I'm crazy using charcoal instead of gas, but they also t... | |
| Tube Rolling - Any tips or caveats I'll add be sure to buy from a reputable person or dealer. If you plan to do lot of tube rolling you might consider a tube tester. The most important thing is to make sure your tube doesn't have a short. Most testers should be able to test for sho... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I hope not. I just aquired a McIntosh MR78! I am a regular tuner user as there is a good classic rock station in the area. Long live FM! | |
| Telefunken 6AS7 Interesting. There are a quad for sale on ebay. Item #200543559654I did just notice under "Brand" it states GE | |
| mcintosh MC 7270 or mc 7200 Woah, 200-270 wpc into Khorns! Good grief I have a 6 WPC OTL amp with these speakers in a fairly large room and anything over 10:00 on my volume control (with CD's, vinyl anything over 12:00) will make my ears bleed. Am I missing something here, t... | |
| Tube Monoblocks for heavy music on Khorns I have tried many amps with my Khorns and ended up with a custom 6 wpc OTL amp. I can't believe how good this combo is with plenty of power AND bass for my 23'x24' room (with a vaulted ceiling). Drop me an email if you would like to know more abou... | |
| Best day of work ever... Awesome! now treat that coworker to a nice lunch and make his day. | |
| Turntable leveling... As mentioned above, level the table, not the cabinet. Leveling the cabinet will more than likely not provide good results for a level TT. | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? Polk432I have not cleaned mine yet. You bring up a good point though. I thought I remember Yip having specific directions about cleaning it, but I can't remember what it was. | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? Well, you got me curious so I just looked at mine and guess what? It is also that dirty brown color. Now I don't really remember what it looked like new but I purchased mine about the same time- 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I wonder if a bad batch went o... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year That this is a great site if you want to know more about motor oil, toothpaste and jeans. | |
| Something Stinks Yes, I understand that I should not use it, and I have not since the smell occured. Well I just opened the top cover of my CD player and isolated where the burnt smell is coming from. There are small heat fins (maybe 3x4) with some internal el... | |
| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 +3 for the sub(s). I have the Cary 808 Rocket 88 R version and do use a sub as well. I'm not sure if it's the amp or my speakers but am very satisfied with the results with the sub. A very nice feature is being able to control the sub volume. | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Nice going guy's. I just got back into vinyl some two and a half years ago now your all bailing on me! Seriously, I really enjoy the extra work involved in vinyl and I think the results really pay off. Perhaps someday I will get tierd of it too, b... | |
| 12ax7 tubes can be enterchanged with xxx tubes? It's my understanding that the 12bz7 might be compatible with the 12ax7 as well. You certainly want to check and see if they will work in your piece though. |
