| Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it according to Glow's web site they will no longer sell amplifiers after stock on hand is exhausted. they want to focus on the speakers..... :( | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay A quick google search will get you to the Official U.S. Customs lists for Japan. I didn't look for amplifiers, I researched turn tables. It turns out that turntables/record players (and associated parts, like tone arms--- I bought a tonearm from J... | |
| help choosing a turn table I vote, again, for the Orbit Theory. It's made in the USA with USA components. Solid wood plinth, cast magnesium arm, simple and accessible electronic speed control (33 & 45) and on/ off switch which has great knob feel. Three (easy to level, ... | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse You are building your system like I am building mine. One piece at a time, when and where I can afford... I have an idea of where I would like to end up, but I have to compromise much along the way. If these two amps are local, maybe you can audit... | |

John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Joni Mitchel, Bob Dylan, Carol King, Phoebe Snow, Gene Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Lowell George, Bruce Cockburn, Janice Ian, and on and on.

| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Someday, maybe, a VPI or a Dr Feickert... But I recently added an Orbit Theory to my third system to upgrade from a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC, and have fallen in love. At the price I paid, open box discount, it was a true steal...for a USA product.... | |

| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Too large of a AWG can be an issue as can too small. As mentioned, size the wire for the load. I would guess, all that one can do without trouble-shooting, is that there is a thermal protection sensor on the fritz. Maybe a rectifier issue, tube or... | |
| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot tubes age and degrade. if it's 60 cycle hum I would suspect a capacitor, Transformer/ rectifier... Just curious, have you isolated the amp? Physically disconnected the inputs? good luck with your gremlin | |

| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Just go with your ears! As you age you will become less perfect in your hearing, and thus less competent at listening. And not everyone was born with a perfume nose where their ears are to start with (perfect pitch anyone? How many can tell the tt... |
