| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ah, CV4003. I had those and another version, Mullard M8136. Both box plates. Not a fan when I had them in my Croft phono back in the 80s. Too creamy sounding for me. If yours sound like that, the new ones en route should be interesting! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Orff, Sylvia Greenberg, James Bowman, Stephen Roberts, RSO Berlin, Choir – Carmina Burana (London 1984) side 1 Digital and sounds it. I never noticed when buying it. Edit: It’s not too bad now that it’s got more fortissimo. Clean recording. Ju... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Obernkirchen Children's Choir – Folk Songs And Fairy Tale (Angel 1957 mono) Sort of sad that these kids are all old or passed now. | |
| REL Strata III repair issue Old thread but I'll add that my REL Strata lll also died due to an underspecced resistor (R8 on the board). Door stop. I spoke to them and they offered nothing by way of comfort like a discount or refund for their shoddy design. | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 @rshak So what changed from when you preferred the GL KT88s? |
