| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tanita TickaramI remember when she came on the scene in the 80s. Oh...yeah...Twist in my Sobriety? | |
| McIntosh MC275 VI preamp tubes +1 on the GE 3M/BP. They are a fine tube but not suited to all applications due to their lower gain.At your price point, the Gold Lion are a good choice. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Karen Wyman - S/T (Decca 1970)Hmmm. She’s 16 and full of energy. But man, the sound is a little strident on some of the cuts. Couple of gems though. | |
| Shipping speakers +1 Freight only on a pallet. Received 2 pairs of Quad ESL57 over the years. Can't think of a more delicate component. One pair was transatlantic. Cost $1000 to ship. The other was $600. No issues whatsoever. | |
| Electrolytic capacitor replacement When I swapped in a monster film cap for the power supply electrolytic, I couldn’t fit the cover back on. Now I leave the cover off. Sounds better anyway with the metal gone. | |

| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes Thanks. When reviewing, could you comment on the build quality? I have seen photos of the inside of some units and they appear to use self adhesive zip tie mounts instead of bolted on terminal strips. | |
| I need quiet as much as music sometimes so help me please In business class they are by far the most common. Leave the audiophile stuff at home where it is quiet.Do they have heavy duty versions for us rabble in economy? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Weird how a perfect looking shiny and spotless disk can be so noisy while a moldy, grayish-dull, surface-scratched throwaway plays perfectly. | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? I swapped out a neon voltage reference tube and it had a profound impact on the sound. So, yes, all tubes influence the sound. | |
| Looking for guidance on what to do with this It's worth what you can get for it. I Googled using your terms and there's a bunch of info on those consoles. Search around and see what you come up with. Maybe you'll find your one. I wouldn't advise breaking it up for parts yet. | |
