| Basic 12g copper speaker cables to $$$ cables. OP it has NEVER been about dollar amount. It is about the construct used and how they were put together. There is NO SUPER duper change because of price.. There is however a correlation between a good business model that gives you more each time y... | |

| Phone preamp goes click click click. Take the top off and look inside with the lights off. I've seen all kinds of things. NO don't stick your hand in there UNLESS you know what you're doing.. LOOK close when you flip it on. Listen and look while its trying to play. Cost nothing ay?Ho... | |
| 1099-K from PayPal (tax form) Whatever you do, don't forget it... Only time I was ever audited was behind a "NEVER SENT" 1099, to me.. but was sent to the IRS, 7 year later, the audit, then the state stepped in.. Before it was over, a 3300.00 misplaced 1099 was over 18,000.00 ... | |

| Stereo systems are like Harleys One day a Cary V12R power amp, sprung a leak overnight.Sure reminded me of the old Harleys. They use to mark their spot with the old chain oilers. This guy did the same.. Cracked me up.. It was the first thing I though of.. Harley 45 flathead, st... | |

| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? Point to point.. NO LOGIC BOARDS.. point to point.. There are hybrids too. EX: VTL The transformers are wired point to point and the valves are laid out on a heavy trace IC. The new MC275 have PtP on the valves but ICs on the power supply and pr... | |
| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? Valve units are picky about IC too. Speaker cable, XLR, RCAs.. I'd look there first.. If you using a silver clad wire, BE CAREFUL.... The more copper you add the more you'll tame the highs and warm up the mids.. Look there too.Unless the signal o... | |
| How Much Distortion Can You Tolerate? I see it is at the command line..A little assembly program? (?.exe)Distortion.... That perfect imperfection.... You gotta have some..You might be surprised how much distortion is in the bass region of a typical stereo system.. none correction.. W... | |
| Tube rolling question Wild guess in the L/R positions, yes.Not a lot of info to go on there..NO with both left (6922) and both right (7308). They would work, but there will most likely be a sonic, and a gain difference..I'm guessing the 6922 and 7308 are options or equ... | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! I've heard the LS75. They were used as rear surround speakers in a 4.4 system. ALL Ampzilla powered, 6 of those things.. I never noticed what he was using for a preamp. The Ampzillas were stacked like cord wood on either side.. BLUE 6 total..I sa... | |
