| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. I will be 65 this year and after many years of rock concerts my ears are in great shape, but I am very careful with listening volume these days. I also for many, many years had integrated amps, both solid state and tube. Several years ago I went t... | |
| New tube preamp Agree on DeHavilland Ultraverve. I bought a used one and love it. 6sn7 based is the way to go for my system. Quickly sold my highly rated and reviewed 12AU7 based preamp once I put the Ultraverve in. Then I had Kara build me a Mercury 3 with upgra... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? I sent TMR a question on 12-20 via email about an item they listed. My question was answered to my satisfaction the same day by Lauren via email. Patience grasshopper. | |
| Kiseki Purpleheart I have the VPI Prime and have used both a regular Soundsmith Zephyr And SS Zephyr MIMC Star, both track and sound great in my system. For a while you could get great deals on both before the latest models came out. Not sure if still the case. I th... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? Nice thread. I will be in the market for one in the future. | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET Check out Audio Mirror 45watt SET mono amps. 6C33C tube based. I have these and really like them. In my system they brought a whole new level of performance and refinement. You can roll input tubes to customize the sound and the power tubes are in... | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp Ooops! Thx for correction. Tubes on the brain! | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp More robust and full sounding, and better even at low listening volume. It cost less than my other preamp also which was an added bonus. Then again, it is all about component synergy. | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp Try a used DeHavilland Ultravalve. Check out Kara Chaffee’s Dehavilland website. For years I had a greatly reviewed and very popular tube pre which met my needs. Bought a used Ultravalve and it truly took my system to a different level. Warm, deta... | |

| Eddie Money has passed away Over the last couple months I had watched a few episodes of his tv show with his family and I could tell he was not in good health. He was open and honest about it. One thing for sure...he loved his family, five kids and wife. And he got to perfor... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? +1 on Imelda May “Flesh and Blood”. Ladies like her underrated, and under appreciated. No marketing machine behind her I guess. Only heard Adele once, did not care for it. I like female singers though. Joni, Sade, Dinah Washington, Aimee Mann, The... | |
| VPI Cuing arm falling too fast Thanks to all for this, particularly @dodgealum. I had a Scout 1.1 with the damped, long and thin lever which I liked, then got a Scout Prime with the short, mechanical, be very careful lever. Wondered what was going on....I think I am used to th... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? +2 for prof. | |
| Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise... @tooblue - you are most welcome. Two other blues rock lps that are recorded great - full, organic, live in the studio sound - are Robin Trower’s “where are you going to” and “closer to the day”. After all these years the man still gets a ton of so... |
