| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Agree with jmcgrogan. The 1% conspiracy to extract as much profit from every body while dumbing them down with endless tasks, taxes and rules has succeeded. | |
| Telefunken Black Diamond E88CC / 6922 Roxy54, NOS are not new production tubes. NOS are unused old tubes. | |
| getting back to vinly Hey Handyman...4 years later, how did things pan out? | |
| Sonic Difference between 6550 and KT88 tubes I've found that in general (and there many variables) GE 6550 are better in the bass, a little drier with a flatter sounding frequency response, the KT88 being better in the midband with more air. | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Straight into the wall. Lose the plugs and fancy power cables while you're at it and run direct from panel to kit. (disclaimer -only if you know what you are doing) | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Lose those speakers. | |
| London Decca No problems encountered with my JW Paratracer tipped Super Gold on a 12"Jelco. I never noticed an issue with the old stylus either. In fairness, I don't have many warped records. | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? I posted this a while back and it may be useful:This | |
| Quiet"er" record cleaner? I have never cleaned a record in my life. I don't even use a dry brush. I have never felt any reason to. I just blow dust off the stylus and use Magic Eraser. | |
| London Decca Hi John, kindly update us when you get a chance. | |
| Can one turn on a solid state amp without a load? Yes, when all is okay. Yours sound like the PSU caps are leaky and need replacement. | |
| Advantages of monoblocks Yes. The better the recording, the more impact monos can have on "imaging". | |
| London Decca Jafox, Warren has a used Jubilee on his website. Maybe it hasn't been updated... | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip I can understand JCarr being a little irked at SS "updating" his design with these somewhat off the shelf parts. All very interesting. | |
| London Decca For a top notch Decca like a Gold or Super Gold, you are looking at $600 with a worn stylus + $350 - $450 for a JW tip. You might get a Blue or Maroon a bit cheaper. BTW, a Decca is a moving iron not a MM. But, yeah, high output etc. |
