| What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp Also consider NOT being able to tune the sound by rolling tubes! | |
| Downsizing from VPI HW-19 Ugh. I don’t even know what all this fussing is about. It sounds a right mess. No. Don’t replace the springs. It will deaden the sound. It sounds like it needs a good service by a dealer. I moved from a LP12 many years ago to a serviced 401 and ne... | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr Rolling out the 3 JJ 12AX7s for NOS Telefunkens will bring the Croft up a notch. I found the stock unit a little too creamy and warm, albeit very musical but lacking in inner detail. | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 I have seen a few tubes go out with a bang but never explode.My TVA-1 used to destroy Mullard Osram KT88s - plate red hot and some sparks then a fizzle and a pop from the speakers! | |
| Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? . Please don't waste your money on expensive cables to tune your sound. (Use something like Neotech UP-OCC copper/teflon speaker wire.)A nice pair of used Spendors or Epos etc will be great. | |

| Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers ++Viridian. Spend more on amplification. Information lost cannot be regenerated by even the most expensive speakers. | |
| ...a second listen @lewm You might try a second listen on the Boston Audio mat. On my 401, the #2 robbed all the life and air from the music. | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 I should also add that you run an increased fire risk leaving them on all the time. | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 I have a Croft Micro 25R pre with phono stage and have used tubes for years. You do not have to leave them on. While they do sound a little better once warm, it it not a major improvement. If you did, and assume 5000 hours on the preamp tubes, you... | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? Kef 104/2 for $650 on the 'gon and spend the rest on better amplification/ sources etc. | |
| Cartridge loading question Sounds like something is amiss with all this. Let the cartridge breathe at 47k. |
