| Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls Excellent advice from @atmasphere . Personally, I would go with low powered valve amplification or sell the speakers and buy something more suitable for SS. | |

| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @terry9 @bcowen Thanks for the advice. I may test the waters with a 40KHz machine, doing one record at a time and see how it compares with the vacuum machine I currently use. | |

| Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? @dhcod @bdp24 I use NOS Sylvania Gold Brand 5751s in place of 12AX7s in my Herron VTPH-2 with no problems at all - to my ears they are a better choice in most circuits than the 12AX7 (smoother, better balanced, slightly warm) and the difference in... | |
