Supertube Question
6H30's can't be swapped in & out for 6DJ8 and equiv. And vice versa. Different voltages and pinouts.The driver tube in an amplifier, IMHO, would not benefit from a "DR" upgrade. I really don't think you'd hear a difference, but I've never trie... 
Bought Some Music Friday
Mark,The MOFI Elvis Costello is excellent. The Cars is pretty decent also. Make sure you pick up new MOFI Rickie Lee Jones "Pirates". It's one of the best MOFI's so far... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
Nick778,Magnepans are not electrostatic speakers. They are planar magnetic and thus do not suffer from the ultra low impedence problems. I agree that more power is better.http://www.magnepan.com/magneplanar_technology 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
As long as you aren't trying to achieve concert level sound output, the i7 will sound quite nice. I really would recommend more power, (actually more current/amperage/voltage) to make the 3.6's sing. You could always use the i7 as a preamp, if you... 
tape out = preout ???
Plato's right on. The tape out jacks have no volume control because they have a fixed output. The preouts should work? What kind of unit is it? 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
Sorry, I needed to clarify that the DR3, DR3B and DR3VHC were indeed Class A amps. The DR8 and DR9 were listed as Class A/B amps, but "might" have ran Class A up to a certain level. 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
Dlcockrum,If you look at the product literature, (I still have some), it lists the amps output(s) as A/B. I swear though, that Glen Grue once told me that the amps do run Class A up to a point, but I really can't confirm or deny that. I always tho... 
VPI HW19-MK3 or ProJect MP5 or Clearaudio Emotion?
VPI HW-19MK3 with the Rega RB-300. 
Minimum Cart Output for 30db Gain Phonostage
I don't know how the headphone portition of the Bellari works, but a .8mv cartridge with a 30db gain phono stage only has an output of 25mv, which is WAY too low for using a normal preamp in a typical system. Maybe the headphone stage uses a diffe... 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I was a Classe dealer for many years and concure that the 25 is an excellent amp. The 15 was also very good, but the 25 was better.There were actually a few small changes from the "DR" series to the "numbered" series:The improvements to the Ten, F... 
Used SS amp for $1K
Yes, the Odyssey amps are VERY good indeed. Try to find a "Dual Mono" model if you can. 
Allman Brothers DVD cost??
The information that I just found on this title states it's "Out-of-Print" and "Rare"? Also, Amazon doesn't have any. The Amazon Marketplace, (which are private sellers, not affiliated with Amazon per se) have some. 
shure v15 v-mr stylus
This one is very good. I think better than the Shure:http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=SHVN5MRSAS 
Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop"
I went back and listened to the track in question on "Pop Pop" and I don't hear anything unusual either.I just received the new MOFI of "Pirates". It's excellent. One of the best recordings so far of RLJ material.I have a German copy, (might be a ...
