| What Happens When Preamp Tubes Need Replacing? My wife almost tied her tubes around my neck when I wanted to buy new ones but she forgot for a moment she already had em tied. I survived and got a new set of EL34 Ruby's (12) 2 12AX7's 2 EL84's. Of the 14 old tubes EL34's 1 had a short 2 were in... | |
| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s You like guitar? JOHNNY WINTER. Get everything you can. He plays blues from 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's and beyond. Copies Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Dylan and does the songs better than the originals. Just do it. | |
| I need an economical but good phono preamp? Hopefully the hum is not comming from your receiver. Re hook up all ground wires. Also it may be ground loop hum. If you have a 3 prong plug.. plug it into a 2 prong plug and plug that into your power source. I also have a Nagaoka MP11 on a Linn S... | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer for more bass. Hell yeah it'll make a difference if you hook up a sub. I have a Klipsch SW10 II that has a 100 watt amp in it. You can hook it up to satts. mains or use the rca jacks to your preamp so as not to use any power from your amp. It is 10 years old and... | |
| Life without a remote I have a remote for my Cary SLP98P preamp and like not having to get up. However, there is less chance of noise without one. I'm not that critical, and as long as all of my equipment works well,I only care what I think. The best thing to me about ... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations Get a Cary V12R or a pair of Cary V12 (i or r) monoblocks. Bias is easy. I just put in a new set of tubes Thursday in my V12R and it sounds great. The V12R used is probably more in the price range you are looking for and I really can't see the use... | |
| From LP12 to where...? I just bought an LP12 w Basik LV X arm & Nagaoka Cart. MP 11. I can't build anything and put the unit together and had it playing by the 2nd adjustment. It's about a 1985 model and I put Lemon oil several times on the plinth, cleaned up the al... | |
| DAC? Does it make a big difference? Thanks to all for your knowledge! | |
| Linn Ninkas vs Linn Katans Thanks for your knowledge. I'm thinking the Ninkas so hopefully I'll be lucky and be able to get them. | |
| Preamp comparison- need help I have a Cary SLP98P and I'm getting all new Ruby EL 34 tubes 2 EL84's and 2 12ax7 input tubes for my Cary V12R amp in a couple of days. I tested the amp tubes and deceided to just get a new set. The SLP98P ran very good when I still had my McInto... | |
| Cary V12 and other tubes I too have a Cary V12R and the bias should be about 238. I need new tubes so I'm going for a full set of Rubys. 2 AX7's and 2 el-84's. The amp just makes a loud hiss when I flip on the operate switch on the Cary SLP98P, so I must have 1 or 2 bad t... | |
| Should I get the Linn Katans? Thanks Jaybo. I have the room and I just thought the Katans would work well with the other Linn components. | |
| Why do dealers do this? That kid won't be in sales long. I usually pay cash for Mustang GT's but the Dealers try to work with people that finance to make more money. I always get more than one dealership involved and once paid a little more to another dealership to keep ... | |
| 3 Hour Warm-up? I'm just getting used to my Cary V12R and SLP98P tube equip. I haven't played it loud yet, but I try to let it warm up for a while. I love the sound, but I will have to wait until the winter to enjoy it. The AC is set to 77 but my room gets up to ... | |
| Why do dealers do this? I too am pissed off to the max. I bought a Grado cartridge, a Teac X1000R reel to reel, and a Linn Kudos tuner from the same company in Tampa Fl. About $1500. in all over the past 7 years. A few days ago I spoke to a salesman asking the price of u... |
