| MC phono preamp Buy the $450 used Croft. You wont regret it. In time, roll in a pair of Telefunkens or Shuguang Custom 12AX7 LS blacks from Grant Fidelity. | |
| Amplifier that visually matches Thorens TD-160 Thorens make amps. I believe they make a range of phono amps. They used to make some very expensive power amps. | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! Great news. This product is important to note. | |
| DIY tube amps If you are not an electronics guy, you might consider not messing around with tube circuits as they can be lethal. | |
| Audio Demo Equipment on You Tube I love listening to kit on YouTube. Not so much to review or audition but to get the jist of the rig. If you have a relatively decent amp/speaker set-up on your PC, you can get an idea if how things sound. Yes, there are many constraints and limit... | |
| Okie Dokie Okki Nokki I only use the Spin Clean. So the RCM is an improvement mostly on new records? I don't buy new very often. Is it a worthwhile improvement on used records? | |
| Pros and cons of vintage Dynaco ST-70 When I was playing around and modding Quad II, Radfords, Croft, Leak, TVA, EICo tube amps, the Dynaco was always considered low rent. | |
| E-BAY and SHIPPING ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL Never has a problem with shippjng charged by the seller on eBay. The highest shipping I paid was on a pair of Quad ESLs at $1000. | |
| Is it OK to use an 8 Ohm tubed amp to power 16 Ohm speakers? My Quad ESL57 do not sound good unless I use the 16 ohm tap on my tube amps. | |
| A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner? OP, I see you are using Audio Sensibility Impact SE phono cable. I tried that instead of my Jelco phono cable and was disappointed. It smeared and muted detail. It might be worth your while trying the Jelco JAC501 Mogami. | |
| Sanity check on new system? Looks great. Solid but not state of the art for the money. | |
| Linn Sondek question @theo You are, of course, correct. I had spindle on the brain. I run the LP12 on the rare occasion I need a break from the 401! | |
| Scam dealer on Ebay? No. I did not get scammed. Okay. Done with this. No hard feelings. It just pisses me off when I see this sort of thing. Point taken. | |
| Scam dealer on Ebay? Amazed that everyone is defending this guy with the caveat that if you're a "moran", you get scammed. | |
| Linn Sondek question You're probably right. It still bounces correctly and sounds good, though. |
