| Fact or misinformation? No, he may be confusing it with surface noise. Early mono pressings were played with 1mil conical stylus while with stereo the stylus used were 0,7mil and played monos fine. You can destroy grooves as @intactaudio said. A small exception is dirty... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? My take is that if you can hear a difference, there must be some difference. If a device or cable or whatever measures exactly the same it should sound exactly the same. Can you measure brain and soul? I believe you cannot even measure your ea... | |
| Hot Rats One more thing about FZ, he was so predictable...in being unpredictable. I like the Roxy & Elsewhere, Freak Out and Burnt Weenie Sandwich from first period and too many from there. Had an amazing ability to gather top musicians and create grea... | |
| Audiophile Tool Bingo Protractors, all keys, screwdrivers, cloths, cleaners (lp’s, contacts, acrylics) flashlights, spirit levels, measuring tapes, magnifiers, soldering irons, different type of solder, tape erasers, voltage meters, capacitor meters, ....too many | |
| would using the onkyo a9150 with Thiel CS6 speakers be safe? I am not playing it at any good volume. Till you fix your amplifier proceed with that in mind. | |

| EAR founder has cancer Always health issues are sad issues, and only then we remember how vulnerable we are. Unfortunately cancer is still extremely high on the list as the leading cause of deaths before the age of 70. Hope he recovers. | |
| Factory service for products from the 90's The simpler the circuit the easiest to repair, that is why vacuum tube power amps and most preamps can be repaired. Only with custom made ic’s and sime mechanical parts things are getting tough but even then substitutes may exist as some reputable... | |
| How to check relays in a preamp? @ptss , why to check all relays, only the areas with an issue. I would not know about cost and how many hrs your unit stays on working bench. | |

| New mat for Rega P6? Herbies or Achromat (3,5mm). | |
| Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup. The killer king is Sony TC-880 (TC8750-2 Japanese version). Scarce spare parts as its original price. If you find one within your budget check it. Open reels are old beasts, more likely they need servicing and calibration (can do for a specific t... |
