| I am considering a luxman 3600 tube amp as my first adventure into tube amplifiers? Thanks for those search options, I regularly do check these sites.

| Nagaoka MP 300 Cartridge I think the sound degradation is so slight as the stylus ages it may be difficult to determine if I am actually losing much from one session to another. That was the situation with the previous stylus, I didn't actually notice any significant redu... | |
| Nagaoka MP 300 Cartridge I am on my second MP 300 stylus replacement. I have been very happy with the sound quality of this cartridge. After the last stylus change, I neglected to keep track of the hours that I used it, so I wanted to be on top of this change. | |

| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I have to say that over the period I have running my Class A mono amps, coupled with my tubed preamp, I have been loving my music again. There is a sweet spot with these mono Class A amps that allows listening with no fatigue, glare or otherwise u... | |
| Dropouts when steaming with WiFi connection (Amazon Music). Update, I tried resetting the new Modum to the centre of the room per info from "Yage", instead of up against the basement wall. This was no easy feat, but will try this out as my first step, as no additional costs involved, just some elbow grease... | |
