| Differences in clock cables? Wireworld cables are good. I have a Starlight 8 that is terminated with BNC on one end and RCA for the other. | |
| Differences in clock cables? Pasternack.com has a number of cables that are suitable for clock cables. Don't need to spend a ton on cables, they have true 75 and 50 ohm cables. | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? Would love to know what brand. That is not an unreasonable request for new tweeters. | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? I would press them for new tweeters. Tweeters are fragile. My daughter cranked the volume fully tilt and even though the tweeters looked fine, I thought it didn't sound the same I removed the diaphragm and it was clear to me that the driver wa... | |
| Help - static noise in speakers Nice ! Some tubes are more immune to RFI than others. Some are intolerant and act like an antenna when not shielded or RFI is too close. | |

Most of my tube gear has modern equivalent or type is still made. I do have a bunch of e180f and 5r4gy/ 274b on hand so no worries. | |

Ironically I sold my turntable because one of kids broke the stylus off. Then in '23 I bought a new table. I missed t... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf I own the Studio Electric M4. They are a great speaker. Previous stand mounts were Revel M106 and PSB M2. Both good speakers but the M4 in my opinion is much better. I replaced a pair of Omega Super Alnico with the M4 , just wasn't in lov... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget I have the Forte IV in my main room. Studio Electric M4 in my second system. I love my Forte but these Studio Electric are special. Probably the best overall speaker for the money i have ever owned. Well worth the money, a phenomenal sma... | |
