Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new.
I’ve used 6922 tubes for many years, and these are the best I’ve ever purchased. In regard to NOS being much more expensive; I’m not going there because I still believe NOS are better if they are genuine because of production and material availabl...

Cleeds, first I relax in the recliner that's in the sweet spot and listen for the needle to drop on the first LP that I've programmed on my play-list. Then I began to spiral into the holographic soundscape that's presented before me.Since I don't...

I've done so many things that I've forgotten what I've done, but my playback is identical to playing the TT which is why I have to do this thing all over again each time I make an improvement. After I down-load my favorite LP's, I program the pla...

How sweet it is! My favorite cut "Singing Winds and Crying Beasts" off of my all time favorite album, "Santana Abraxas" coming to me off of my computer play-list, from my latest LP down-load after new cartridge, plus NOS tubes installed in phono. ...

It's hard for me to understand other people's problems because I don't have any.Just about the time CD's came out, I was buying LP's like crazy. CD's "appeared to be" superior to LP's, so I went exclusively into CD's, leaving all my new LP's goin...
