| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s @benb I believe Chakster has left AG. | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time @bdp24 Yeah, I was never a fan of the London Jubilee aesthetic either! I do like the Decapod and have them on my SG and two Golds. | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time @bdp24 The Zeta arm/Townshend Audio Elite Rock is a robust combination. I’ve shied away from the Mk4 over the years as I was always waiting to grab a Jubilee/Reference at the right price. I passed up on a Reference some years ago for $2500 because... | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time @bdp24 Thanks so much for all the info. After dealing with JW for decades, I find the new company disappointing. Not answering emails, and stratospheric pricing is hard to chew compared to what they were before JW closed. Did you have to send the... | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time Adding to the conundrum of warm up times, don't forget the turntable bearing. My grease bearings take 20 minutes. You can literally hear the depth in the soundstage increasing during that time. | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time @bdp24 How has your experience with the new London folks? I'm very wary. Thanks. | |
| Which one would you buy @devinplombier We all hate the Alps BV! I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. | |
| Which one would you buy @devinplombier I think what they mean by untested is that they can't guarantee the condition of the tubes. They're working but they don't know the specs. It's barely an issue. It also looks like they're not the rebuilders–just reselling it.. | |

| Which one would you buy Obvious from my OP that I don't respect Ski-High-Fi and this is a perfect example of a rip-off. I do have two sets of rebuilt (one modified) EICO HF-35s in regular use. | |
| MM Cartridge recommendation Can't go wrong with this Audio Technica VM750xSH | |
| They should charge more for it… The competition is likely threatened by how good it is compared to their offering. The article states that a competitor to WB believes they should charge more for the product. | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp Yeah, replace the Red with a Blue and enjoy the improvement until you get a phono amp and cables. | |
| EAR Phonobox = HORRIBLE Has a tube come loose during transit? | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! @ghdprentice Commiserations on suffering fools. On a less grand scale, I used go to a small jazz club where the boys were in a corner of the space on a little raised platform. The music was unamplified and sounded wonderful. Needless to say, a we... |
