| Recommend an MC alternative to Clearaudio Maestro RubylowI really liked the shelter. Specific difference between it and the maestro? I remember thinking when I installed it, wow this is good. But in fairness, the maestro is a dam fine mm. I put the shelter on the summer of 2008, and was really im... | |
| Recommend an MC alternative to Clearaudio Maestro RublyowI had exactly that cartridge(Maestro) on exactly the same arm(satisfy, ambient tt). After a cleaning accident(cantilever), I bought a shelter 501 mkII. I was very happy with the shelter for quite awhile. I think for the money the shelter is... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? RebbiI have the di cappos paired with an asl parallel 300b. The sound is pretty darn good and there is more than enough volume produced. The only down side is the amp requires 4 300bs. I have been happy with this combination....floats my boat you ... | |
| When to power off a tube amp? Hi High rollerReally depends on the types of tubes you have. I run 300bs, and if I am leaving the house for what I think will be an hour(which is always more) I turn it off. In contrast, my phono pre has 6dj8s which don't like being turned on and ... | |

| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure CharlesJust out of curiosity how many hours (usable) would you estimate you obtained with the shuguang's? And do you anticipate a significant increase in usable hours for the EML,s? I once had a pair of JJ's go well over 5000 hours (before they be... | |
| What happens when a tube amp fails? I had a rectifier tube go (one of 2 5ar4s), and didn't notice till the next day. Usually they go gracefully, and no pasa nada. However....once, a 300b went supernova. Quite impressive, but heart stopping to say the least. That event took out a cou... | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H I have a shelter 501 in a box, on the shelf, with all the other retired but still good audio paraphanailia I am collecting. The shelter was great, until I upgraded my phono stage. A couple xmas's ago I gifted myself a fosgat(from santa). The next ... | |
| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure Pani; i have exactly the same dilemma. i currently own the black bottles (2yrs), and wonder if i should continue with them(now the psane's), or buy emission. The emissions themselves present another so called dilemma, their regular 300b, or the xl... | |
