| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 2 Great read Harv. When my boiler fires up, I have to cease serious listening for a few minutes because things like sound stage and 3d imaging deteriorate. It's only for a few minutes every hour or so but illustrates what happens when the power is d... | |
| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 Second on the Jelco 750. | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, I had a Croft amp once designed for LOMC. It used parallel ECC88s and 24volt B+. It did have some tube hiss but worked well enough until any of the triode sections went microphonic. I tried swapping the psu for 2x12v lead acid batteries but... | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? Really? Someone suggested SME iv and v for a relatively cheap turntable? All the SL1200s I have heard sounded a bit rough. It just seems like a top heavy approach. | |
| Just a bit to bright try some solid core 12 gauge mains wire from Home Depot for the speakers. And dump any cheapo interconnects. | |

| Most educational audition you ever had? Les Paul and Mary Ford at the Penta Hi-Fi show in London in the 90s. Same song and recording. I think it was a Roksan versus a Krell CD player. The LP absolutely trounced the CD. | |

| Full-range recommendations There is a pair of Spendor SP1/2R2 for $4200 on agon.I meant SP100 not the R2 version in my previous post. However I did see 2R2s for a great price once. | |
| Full-range recommendations Spendor SP100R2. I've seen them lightly used in your price range. | |
| Setting up a 2 channel listening room Maybe get them to install 2 by 4 gang 20amp outlets instead of just the one. Also consider adding outlets where you might add monoblocs. | |
| Two turntable setup ideas to go with an SPU cart However I wouldn't get too hung up on the 12 versus 9 inch choice. |
