| KT88 Tubes Before you go throwing out tubes considering the HK’s possible age, ensure they’re not valuable GECs. Have you set the bias correctly? | |

| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @jordi Obviously, I concur. Contrary to the seeming naivete of my opening post, I have run into this issue before. I built an overkill phono preamplifier back in the day and it sounded fantastic (with a cheap RS sourced pot). I was to demo it to ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lalitk I was looking at your room and can't make out if it's a basement or an attic–like over the garage type of bonus room. 😏 | |

| Garrard 301 - Project I’m finding the new Lond0nDecca somewhat disappointing. The prices are off the charts compared to what JW was doing. The Super Gold retailed at $1900 and now it’s a thousand bucks more. They no longer offer the Paratrace service option on non-Refe... | |

| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @asvjerry Huh? @noromance ...(Surely you jest? ;) Always wanted to ask that and "NONE?!" *LOL* | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @bruce19 Kindly follow up when you make the modification. The Black Beauty RK40 is not in production but there seems to be some online. | |
