| Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ? Interesting. I run 2 different AudioGrail 401s. One is in a slate plinth with new 3rd party platter and idler. The other with original platter and new idler in a birch ply plinth with walnut top. Both sound great. Extremly musical and every record... | |
| Wondering why... That's a pity. Hope you're okay, Michael. | |
| Trying different output impedance taps with tube amps My Quad ESLs (1957) need 16R taps on my tube amps with 8 and 4 ohms sounding progressively duller and colored. The difference is night and day. I guess it limits them to amps with 16 ohm taps. | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon Audiogon needs a better forum software solution. Other forums allow for text identifiers, footers, in-line photos (signed-in members only) etc.This way, we could see more info at a glance without having to write disclaimers in every post.

| Eico HF-81 question for those that have one and moved on from it or returned One option would be to do what I did and go with EICO HF monoblocs and a more modern preamp with a phono section. I am using a Croft 25R with rebuilt HF-35s and they are unbeatable if not somewhat hard to come by. | |
| Please Help Me!! That cheered me up. Glen, well done. I was almost going to tell the OP to go to audioka.... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad I swapped out my metal turntable stand for 4 concrete blocks and the difference is a considerable upgrade. See systems pic. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @uberwaltz No. I have 3 Decca cartridges and mono records sound great on them. I'm not a mono aficionado! | |

| phono pre-amp being replaced Not sure why you are still looking for another solution apart from some notion that you have to level match with other sources.For the price of a good SUT plus the PH7, you could get the Herron. | |
| Upgrade from Sumiko Blue Point #2 I run an Audio Technica VM750SH as a back up and it is both detailed and warm with good soundstaging. $400. | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular The review of 6L6s linked to further up in the thread lists the SED 'Winged C' 6L6 NOS as even better. Anyone heard those? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Osbourne Brothers - Ru-be eee (Decca 1970)Julie Andrews - The Lass with the Delicate Air (RCA -Victor 1957)June Christy - This is June Christy (Capital 1958 mono) --- Unbelievable how mono can have such presence. Wonderful cavernous recording.... | |
