| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I also love older analog jazz and blues records from the 60s and 70s. My table comes in around $6k all in. Plus $2k for a phono amp. Within its limits, it’s one of the best sounding rigs I’ve ever heard! | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz My vinyl rig mostly blows my CD and Tidal Hi-fi streaming away. Mostly. It depends on the recording. Some of my vinyl is crap. Most of it is decent and some is fan-freakin-tastic.It’s the great recordings that maintain my interest in the gear. It’... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Chakster, Where is the OP gonna get a used 881s with a good stylus? There's a couple on eBay of unknown quality. While I acknowledge the quality of the cartridge, it's not really viable advice. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Better table first. | |
| Woot! Decca cartridge bargain So I lowered the back of the 12" arm about 6mm in 1mm steps and the sound snapped into focus improving the aforementioned dynamics by an order of magnitude. This thing is growing on me. | |
| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. Joe, yeah tinnitus sucks. What source are you using? I think remote is a good idea with hearing damage to limit loud passages before hurting but without curtailing the quieter parts. | |
| Tube or solid state Tube preamp with moving magnet cartridge like Nagaoka MP200 or Audio Technica VM540ML. You can then roll tubes for your sound preference. | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? I think you need to put this down to haste and not clarifying the terms of the deal.Caveat emptor. | |
| Replacement tubes for C-J I should also include Upscale as a preferred vendor.https://www.upscaleaudio.com/collections/vacuum-tubes/el34-6ca7-kt77You can also get them on Amazon Prime. | |
| Woot! Decca cartridge bargain Hi Nandric. Yeah... My naming nomenclature was confusing. it’s a Decca Super Gold with a Paratrace stylus fitted by John Wright. I believe the Paratrace is fitted to the London Reference. It’s a major improvement to the original VdH that was on it. | |
| Replacement tubes for C-J https://www.thetubestore.com/power-tubes/el34-6ca7-tube-typeshttps://www.tubedepot.com/t/tubes/power-tubes/el34-6ca7I'd be tempted to buy a set of cheap JJs to test the amp. Moving forward, you can roll in better tubes. | |
| Replacement tubes for C-J Okay. So sounds like you need a new EL34 tube and replacement fuses.Are you getting sound on the good channel? | |
| Replacement tubes for C-J Read the manual to get an idea about the amp. Is the blown fuse at the speaker terminals (with a led lit beside a tube?)If so, it's likely a power tube issue.It it is the other panel fuse, the issue may be more serious.Have you hooked it up to spe... | |
| Replacement tubes for C-J ManualAre you sure it's bad tubes? | |
| Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ? Go for it. Use Psvane Globe 6SN7 from Grant Fidelity. You might want to ensure the pre can take their size. They are amazingly detailed. |
