Why 6H30 Tubes?
Metralla, I didn't say ALL or EVERY preamp. Sorry I stand corrected. 
Why 6H30 Tubes?
I'll add my 2 cents worth also. I have owned many, many preamps, (and still own 2 phono stages) that use the 6DJ8/6922 tubes and enjoy them very much, but on the line stage side of the preamp, I really like what the 6H30 tube does.The 6H30 still s... 
MC Load Resistance
I have found that the lower the setting, the thinner and lifeless the sound gets. Too high of a load and the sound is bright and brittle with too much edge detail. It will not hurt anything to try different settings. Let your ears tell you what is... 
New Beatles remasters
I also just got done listening to Rubber Soul, (my favorite Beatles album) and...WOW! My guys have got to hear these new releases. Just excellent. 
New Beatles remasters
Bruce_1, the boxset that Best Buy has for $563 is the IMPORT version, not the domestic release. 
SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?
I agree on the Bryston. Also, most Krells. 
Matched Tubes do I need them and why?
It really depends on how they are used within the preamp, (for what purpose). I'm guessing (2) for the line stage and (2) for the phono stage? Then, yes they need to be matched. What make and model of preamp is it? 
Ideas for used SS amp
An Acoustat TNT200 is a wonderful bass amplifier. I had one driving a pair of RH Labs subs and it worked and sounded superb. 
How to use an RCA single speaker post
It is still the same positive and negative setup, but with an RCA end as the termination. When I started selling audio gear in the mid '70s, this was a common termination on some of the lower end models. We would just terminate any speaker cable w... 
Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound
Cardas Golden Cross. 
Need suggestion on VTL TL-5.5 tubes
Elevick:This is from the Tube Depot Website:One of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s favorite tubes was the 5751 preamp tube. With 30% less amplification than a 12AX7, but 100% interchangeable, an amp using the 5751 preamp tube creates a creamier and smoother t... 
Need suggestion on VTL TL-5.5 tubes
I'm not familiar with the tube layout of the VTL 5.5, but if the 12AX7 tubes are used for the gain stage, you could sub in some 5751 tubes. These have about a 30% reduction in output. 
Worried about Denon 103R high tracking force on LP
2.2 to 2.8 grams of VTF is really not all that high. You will be fine. 
Cd player not working without remote
Try unplugging the unit and waiting a few minutes, then plug it back in. This may reset the unit. 
With average use how long for panel replacement ML
I concure with Magfan...can you say delamination? With the Martin Logan's, you can buy a new set of panels which are pretty easy to install yourself. When a Magnepan goes down, it's pretty much a complete and messy internal surgery to repair yours...
