| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? It will be a long time until electric cars are less expensive than their gasoline/diesel counterparts. there won‘t even be any gas/diesel counterparts in 15 - 20 years. Have a look at EU/British legislation and the stated policy of leading aut... | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? Make sure you have it professionally reconditioned. Components like capacitors will need to be replaced, pots cleaned… of it isn’t likely to sound very good. generally, a wholesale change of capacitors is not required. Film capacitors age very ... | |
| Mono Recommendations Otis Reeding - “Sitting by the Dock of Bay” sounds good even when using a stereo cartridge on the mono LP. I have an original stereo pressing of “Otis Blue“ which sounds pretty.fine to me. There is a certain ‘directness‘ to the sound whic... | |

Fuller and smoother then the stock tubes and just all around better sound. If you want a much warmer sound try NOS RCA tubes. I prefer the... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? yes, but what about the MUSIC ? | |
| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES to maximise tube life always check your filament voltages and get them to run just under spec. Amazing how many amps have filaments running hot, especially the 110/220V Chinese jobs. Use padding resistors to lower voltages and extend your listenin... | |
| Russian tube supply issues @malibu457 libu why can’t the U.S. start making audio tubes? have you any idea what tooling up from scratch would cost ? | |
