Blackburn Micro Tech Tubes no longer?
Hoysauce, yes, TechTubes has been shipping for a couple of months now. The only tube they have currently is the E813CC, (12AX7). I bought (4) when they first launched. They are VERY nice. The 12AU7 was due next this autumn, then the 12AT7 was due ...

The order site is still up and they show them as being in stock. Hopefully they will still fulfill orders until the stock is depleted.https://shop.blackburnmicrotech.com/stock_list.php?categoryid=1

What is tube rolling?
I also agree that you should read, (and reread) Joe's Tube Lore at the link provided. It's pretty much the bible for the different ways tubes sound. Just remember that the actual component that each tube is used in, makes a BIG difference. I have ... 
Need cartridge recommendations for Rega P25
The Lyra Dorian is an excellent recommendation, if you have the gain in your phono stage for it. It's a low output MC. If you only have a MM stage, try the Audio Technica AT150MLX. I've used it on my P25 and it was wonderful. I am currently using ... 
difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar
I would first upgrade the amp. 60 watts per channel isn't even close for what the Maggies need. You are hearing a lack of bass and power because your amp can't produce or control it. 
Would this be an upgrade?
I also agree that the Cardas would be a step up from the Monster.I used the Quadlink speaker cable for a few years and always enjoyed the sound it gave me. 
Anyone know the Mission 747 tonearm?
Sorry, I screwed that link up. Here it is:http://www.vinylengine.com/library/mission/774-(original).shtml 
Anyone know the Mission 747 tonearm?
I don't think Mission made a 747 arm. Grace made a 747, Mission made the 774 and 775 arms.If it is 774, the below link will give you some info. BTW, it's an excellent arm, if it's still in good shape.http://www.vinylengine.com/library/mission/774-... 
best match for Macintosh MC352
Here is a link for the story about Apple's Macintosh Computer name:http://www.creativepro.com/article/macintosh-any-other-name-still-sweetScroll down to the heading..."An Apple a Day" 
best match for Macintosh MC352
Theo, actually APPLE makes computers and the Macintosh is a model/brand within that company. Also Macintosh is a variety of an apple, (like Red Delicious or Granny Smith) so maybe that's where the name came from? 
ARC XLR pin s question
On the digital side, I have an ARC CDT-1 transport that has all (4) digital outputs: coax (via BNC), toslink, ATT/ST glass fiber and AES/EBU. I have found that no matter what DAC I have connected that the AES/EBU sounds the best. I have also read ... 
ARC XLR pin s question
I have owned lots and lots of ARC gear, (and still own several pieces). I have always used the XLR, (balanced) inputs and outputs when available. I have never had to order any "special" configuration of balanced cables. I would assume that ARC use... 
HELP I need information about interconnects
A true preamp will not have "speaker outputs" on it. It sounds like maybe you are trying to use an integrated amp as a preamp? Unless this has preout/main-in jumpers or a seperate set of preouts, (usually RCA jacks), you won't be able to use it. Y...
