| Buying tubes...do they vary??? Love it when a post takes off! Thanks all for the wonderful responses! | |
| Tube life Thank you oddiofyl, your experience sounds just like mine! The switch in speakers coinciding with the escalating degrading of tubes really threw a curve in assessing! | |
| Buying tubes...do they vary??? Appreciate the responses folks, thank you! Yep, will have to take a look at Vintage Tube Services.Thank you! | |
| Tube life Anyone care to recommend a place to buy tubes that may cost less than what I put forth above? Looking at TubeDepot.com right now. Is there a place here on Audiogon that I'm not aware of? Bad idea to buy tubes from one other than the unit's manufac... | |
| Tube life Thank you swampwalker, exactly where my thoughts have gone too. $1,500 when I last tubed though....yikes!! | |
| Tube life Thank you jond, yeah quite a difference in efficiency you pointed out. Doubting there's a local dealer with tube testing ability but I'm sure going to look, that'd be great!Thanks again,Randy | |
| Record Cleaning Machine – Recommendation Please! Thank you terry9 and mofimadness. Will keep Digikey in mind for future reference. However, I had already found the VERY switch at Grainger for a mere $2.65, and can pickup tomorrow only 9 miles away!Happy ending :-) | |

| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge Thanks everyone for the help! The calculators are just great, bookmarked!One last question: If a system can accommodate both medium and high output versions of a cartridge, why choose medium (i.e., why choose a lower output version)? What do lower... | |
| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge jperry,Thank you for that previous posting where you mentioned medium output. It's that (and a bit more) that got this thread going. Why? When I contacted a local dealer to get the medium output Benz priced I was advised to go to the high output. ... | |
| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge Al,Thank you for the response and taking this into a deeper dive. Interesting and educational to me is how you relate hiss/or hum to the specs. That's what I'm looking for at the moment; concrete means to evaluate specs and to stay away from subje... |
