| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? Old thread but @stereo5 that story of the girl hearing how good she sounded got me. | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? The Manley’s use EL84 which are not exactly big power tubes. In fact, they run in triode mode at 20watts (UL 40w) which will sound more nuanced and you may prefer it that way which limits you to a fairly low power set-up. If you do like to rock ou... | |
| Technics 1200G VTA Lock or unlock is the question? @lewm +1 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @mayoradamwest You might look at the Degritter US cleaner instead. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Elliot Lawrence Band – Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (1956 Fantasy mono)@uberwaltz I dug out Uriah Heep Live (1973 Bronze). Haven’t played them in years. Gypsy and July Morning live are great. | |
| Technics 1200G VTA Lock or unlock is the question? There's an interesting article in the current Stereophile by Art Dudley about tightening things and deformation of structures etc. Of course, overtightening has always been anathema with mechanical reproduction systems. | |
| Need help finding a new phono stage. As long as it is driving the speakers to your satisfaction, there is no issue with turning it up so high. Remember, in most cases, a volume control reduces the volume by offering progressive resistance to the signal such that full volume is the ac... | |
| Paul McGowan's (PS Audio) autobiography -- "99% True" now available for $4.99 on Kindle On Ch.15. Wow! Who knew? Great read so far. | |

| Need help finding a new phono stage. Which I'm not fully understanding because I thought that stage was for mm only? Can someone help explain this?The 10x5 is a high output moving coil which works directly into a MM phono stage. | |
| Croft Acoustcs Vitale - request for US service? While you are at it, if you have an IEC socket, try an inexpensive quality power cable like the BLE Design 10ga rhodium for $39. Try wrapping a few turns of masking tape around the glass fuse but not touching the metal end caps. You may be surprised. | |
| Croft Acoustcs Vitale - request for US service? Sounds like work any good tech should be able to do. | |
| Input impedance and preamp caps Increase the output caps on the pre-amp to 2uF for 20k compatibility. Running without the caps will likely send DC to the power amp. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I wish there was a Decca Reference with UP-OCC or silver wire and a beryllium "cantilever". (Although the Be might shatter!) | |
