Accuphase DP-78 doesn't read SACD layer
Normally an existing laser can shelf readjust if you leave the disc in the player shut the unit down and power up again. On lasers replacement new adjustments have to be made meeting manufacturers voltages mainly for the RF amp. I know that Accuph... 
Accuphase DP-78 doesn't read SACD layer
It carries the Sony mechanism as SCDXA9000ES, common issue, reads all but SACD layer on hybrids, you can change the laser but this will happen again sooner or later. I have learned to live with this, as i have mine since 2005. Laser changes are ea...

Nice, inspired by a Maxell ad back in the 80's.G 
Analog Lp
New lp's and reissues have one advantage, they are generally quieter. Most of the times i feel they lack some air and atmosphere, have heavier bass and less extended treble. Original tapes is a very misleading term for tape can degrade over time. ...

Rega RB3000
I think that for little extra you get the Planar6 which is a better proposition than putting RB3000 on a P3. Just my thought.G

Turn Table Cable Length
Preferable to have a shorter length from turntable to amp and longer interconnects or speaker cables. If tt is your only source than move your amp together.G 
Still Need Help
Your Rega wall support is made from hollow metal that can resonate. Putting P3 directly on it will not help alone. You need to decouple somehow your tt from the shelf. And still airborne vibrations would affect its lightweight chassis. Try to have...

Why so many angry audiophiles?
Social media makes us worse, sarcasm followed by aggression. No one is having an easy life lately, so this adds up.G 
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS"
Nice and interesting article, good audio is not the exclusivity of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound only.I liked that they included something from Acoustic Revive.G 
Anyone Tried Unmatched Power Tubes?
You are correct each pair for a channel.I would replace all four in matched pairs.Keep the good ones as spares. Why two are arcing?I do not know if it is a push pull design, if it is, no matter inside or outside as long as they are matched per cha... 
Anyone Tried Unmatched Power Tubes?
Always follow what manufacturer claims. If you want them to last longer get them matched.Depends from the design if they have to be matched in pairs, quartet or, whatever. When i had an amp with 8 output tubes i always got them quartet matched. Si...
