| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Small: Rogers LS3/5A, Sony SS-A5 (La Voce), Spica TC-50. Large: Apogee Scintilla, B&W Matrix 800. | |
| U2 live. Music realism Not one of my favourites, War, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby stand out for me. They are very good live though. | |
| A suitable cart and possible practical tweaks for a Rega Planar 3... I would go with either Goldring 1042, Dynavector 10x5, and add Rega Exact (not Elys). All excellent, good matching with your arm and no need to think about mm or mc low or high output. Even if at later stage you want to improve elsewhere (phono s... | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes @roxy54, Many nice tubes in 6DJ8 family, especially ones made between 57-65 for a great tone and some made till 73. 6922 and 7308 would last longer but that would depend also of how hard the circuit pushes them. Some ECC88 will sound better than... | |

| Softest, smoothest sounding capacitors you've tried? Some very nice caps come in lower voltages, so choice depends if they are going to be used in an active circuit, close to tubes or not, or speaker xovers. Check the avialiable space. Agree with Erik, and i would add MR’s, both excellent, other o... | |

| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Of course we can have great sound with much less, but the question is whether any of us would commit if we had the funds. sounds pretty daft to me. You can buy 3 Ferraris for that money and impress way more people I believe potential buyers h... | |
| Helping friends/relatives with system purchases, your experience. To make things easier and more enjoyable i suggest visiting a dealer. I will always help during and after their choice is made, never lent equipment (bad experience). | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Bay City Rollers! | |
| Noisy Right Channel Better wait for new ones. To be on the safe side. There is a chance that this tube will do more things other than be only noisy. | |
