Rega 700 rewire
I highly advise you to change the stock wire in the Rega "700" arm. I'm sure Rega still connects the ground to 1 of the signal path wires. I have a 1000 and changed the wire. Pick one of the aftermarket wires, Cardas-Discovery-AudioNote. Any one o... 
Best Power Cord for Phono Stage
No such thing as a dedicated phono stage power cord IME. You have to experiment and try them out in your own system one at a time, like the rest of us do. 
End of Snell Acoustics?
I've been running the smaller brother of the type B, the Snell CV for the past 5 yrs. Bypassed that awful fuse and tweeter attenuator. IMO, the CV which you can buy for under 1k used holds its own against anything that sells for 5-7K made today. 
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
Lula,That is one of the very reasons I bought this tube preamp. The circuit uses 1/2 of the triode in positions V1-V6 for the left channel and the other half for the right. Matched pairs are not required! All you need is a single tube that has rea... 
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
Now using a NOS Sylvania BP 6X4 Rectifier and swapped one of the Tungsol 12AT7's for a BP Brimar 12AT7. Dynamics, bandwidth and bass slam beyond belief. Also, unit is now broken in. 
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
Sonic attributes, I'll address regardless of tube compliment. To me, this unit sounds exactly like the circuit its built upon. Have you ever heard the clarity of a DC powered phono stage but wished it had a little more oomph? That's what you get w... 
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
I have this Fosgate Phono pre-amp and would like to offer up some comments. Over the years, several high gain solid state phono pre-amps have passed thru my system. Most were very quiet, but two in particular (shall remain name-less) had a noticea... 
Musical Fidelity A1008
I found the A1008 to sound rather dull and uninvolved. Much preferred the A5. 
Klyne 7PX question
I advice asking the question over at vinylasylum and also use their search function. I used to own a Klyne myself and picked up info at that site. If you emailed me a pic of those internal dip switches, it may trigger my memory. 
Does a tube phono stage get through...
"Tubes add compression, harmonic distortion, and a high frequency roll off to the mix."That is a very broad statement and simply maybe true based upon your experience. Certainly not mine. 
Can the glass on a tube be repaired???
This is pretty simple, if the glass is broken and you can put your finger inside the that 6SN7 tube. The tube is a goner 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
The difference between the 15 & 25 are that the 25 has more pairs of output transistors. 
Tubes for Raysonic CD 168
Mike In Md:The 6CG7 will work in the Raysonic without alteration. I've never had a problem in any cd player that uses 6922 cathode followers, swapping for a 6CG7. Including Raysonic. The poster was looking for a lush tube sound. I gave him an opti... 
Tubes for Raysonic CD 168
Try a pair of 6CG7, you will be fine using that tube without fear of smokin the transformer. 
Is my wiring 15 or 20 amp? The breaker is 20 amp
I prefer to use 10g with 20Amp breakers and 12g with 15Amp breakers for audio use.
