| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hey @slaw Yeah, I tested before and after on an album > SpinClean > US. There was a clear improvement with each cleaning with the US yielding an improvement like a new power cord etc. The new bearing is a revelation taking the 401 to a new l... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sixteen Horsepower - Sackcloth and Ashes(Sounds so much better since I replaced the 401 bearing. The drive, bass plucking, the rhythmic drive is so on point. Rim shots, accordion buttons, his voice. I've seen them live and this is close to that.) | |

It takes out an extra stage of electronics with the idea that simpler is purer. Less crap in the path. You might want to check the input impedence matches the sourc... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 Almost 2 years on with 2 x quad sets of Tung Sol 7581A in four monoblocs and they still sound superb. They've held the initial bias settings which indicates good stability and look great. | |
