| Broken Tube Guide Key Yes. You should be able to see where it broke off and align it up with the expected position on the socket. | |

| looking for separate tube phono stage for use with VAC Avatar SE integrated amp I’m doing something similar with a two arm 401. I’m using a tube Croft RIAA phono amp plugged into a standard preamp input. With select tubes, it sounds very good. More info in my profile. Any phono amp can pretty much do what you are looking for. | |
| inexpensive phono pre amp Mani with a $30 linear power supply instead of wall wart. | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing Not true. I'm surprised you don't understand that you absolutely can pull out more detail from the medium by improving the process. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time Had a Linn-Naim dealer who would literally tap his feet during a demo like it was in the sales play-book. | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? @emergingsoul Did the OP simply mean # of tubes or # of active elements? Just because an ARC SP9 has 2 tubes does not mean that it does not have any other active components. Then the argument is tubes vs solid state and not the number of tubes. | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? But they also use MOSFET output buffers and solid state voltage regulation. Anyway, unless it has a phono stage, a preamp is a fairly simple device. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Streaming the Dvořák. Love the cover. Červená Lhota is a 14th century château in south Bohemia, Czech Republic. It stands at the middle of a lake on a rocky island. | |
| New Tubes What he said. However, nothing to stop you rolling the tubes. NOS (or used from good dealer) Telefunkens would be a good place to start. | |
| Fluance Good to hear. I thought you were going to express disappointment 🙂. Pretty high-end amp and speakers for such a modest turntable. |
