| Whats on your turntable tonight? the AC guys had to move my right speaker and monoblockJim, I had AC guys unscrewing sheetrock over my walnut 401 and putting the dusty screws on the freakin' plinth. I called them out and they moved them to the freakin' pool table. Ugh. | |
| PS Audio FR-30 Speaker... Looks great. Looks like it could sound very good. I suspect throbing bass from those radiators. | |
| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge Oh, and Happy Birthday, Sir. | |
| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge Sorry for your loss. Treasure the memories. You're young and there's plenty to live for. Your choice of gear looks good. With your sight challenge, use the cue lever! | |
| Garrard 301: Where to lubricate? Here’s the manual.https://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.php?pdf=Garrard-301-Service-Manual-2.pdf | |
| Garrard 301: Where to lubricate? Apply a few drops into the oil fill hole at the top of the bearing. You can use any light machine oil or sewing machine oil as long as there are no detergents in it as they can gum up the sintered bronze bushings. | |
| MM Cartridge Recommendation Nagaoka MP500 or Audio Technica VM760ML are both fast and articulate, and slightly warmer than the Black so you won’t lose too much detail and air. Either will sound more full bodied and musical with the AT the more "neutral" of the pair. | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub nob and tubeKnob and tube. Cost me a fortune to replace after some flood damage. | |
| Buying from Parts Connexion Definitive Audio UK are £2000 ,roughly $2760 usd$1600 a pair in PartsConnexion. Sounds like it might be worth the 23% VAT and fees to import. You might call PC to see if they'll double box them. | |
| Buying from Parts Connexion You know the saying if no prices are listed........@jond You are about to be ripped off with white-gloved hands. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming New cheap Tung Sol 7581A are excellent replacements for EL34s. Clear and transparent with great bass. The vintage Tannoy Mercury speakers were very warm and creamy so other speakers should brighten things up. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? +1 Talk Talk, The Colour of Spring.I note you got the album name spelled in its English form. Nice. | |
| How long does Class A have? I’m a proud brit@mrmeaner Thanks for your clarification on Greta T. I sense you were exercising that Olde World wit in your post rather than how it came across. | |
| Buying from Parts Connexion I guess these are more expensive? Living Voice, Takatsuki, Western Electric | 300B Valves | Definitive Audio | |
| Buying from Parts Connexion You will pay tax in the UK on imports. There will possibly be a delay in delivery time. I have sent items to the UK from the US for repair and they got held in UK customs where I was charged VAT and a fee for processing! |
