Magnavox PP EL84 Amp question
Your PP EL84 (6BQ5) will do about 12 - 15 wpc. And will have a bass response dropping off at 50hz (small output trannies). It will work well with a high-sensitivity speaker like a Klipsch Heresy. Also will match well with a speaker having a powere... 
Magnavox PP EL84 Amp question
I had a Magnavox console-pull two channel tube amp ( 12ax7, pair of 6AQ5's and an EZ80 rectifier). Single-end and 3 watts output per channel. A bare-chassis which I just placed on top of another component. Fun to play with! Not as good sounding as... 
Magnavox PP EL84 Amp question
Yes! 
I have three speakers avaiable to me??
Forget the above and get a pair of Quad 57's. Peter Walker's miracle and a speaker for the Ages (I have two pairs!). 
Jazz for aficionados
I prefer the original mono pressings, but alas, most have become way too expensive. Another seller had that same Ammons LP listed for $150!  
Jazz for aficionados
How about some Gene Ammons? Mr.Boss Tenor! I just bought "Gene Ammons All Star Sessions" - a 1955 mono Prestige LP for $7.95 + $4.77 shipping from EBay. Engineered by Rudy Van Gelder. Side two is Ammons battling with Sonny Stitt from an earlier se... 
3D Printable: Furutech GTX Style Wallplate
I make mine out of 1/8 inch Gabonese ebony for that rich, dark midrange texture! 
What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r
@chakster : The 103D was higher compliance than the 103C (conical) and 103R (different internal impedance). I have both! 
What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r
I have three on hand that will work well with any 103 - two Fidelity Research arms (an FR29 and a FR54) - plus a Denon 307. The 103 came in several variations: 103C, 103D, 103R, 103S and a 50th Anniversary Gold body. I presently have a 103R on the... 
There are actually 2 seperate hobbies here.
For example, I just bought a rare mono jazz LP from 1955 - Gene Ammons All Stars (Rudy Van Gelder, engineer) on the Prestige label. Cost: $7.95 + $4.77 shipping (from EBAY). Another seller had one listed for $150! Getting an original Gene Ammons s... 
There are actually 2 seperate hobbies here.
The search for good recordings is for me more enjoyable than lusting after the latest hyped gear in TAS and Stereophile! 
There are actually 2 seperate hobbies here.
I agree about the two camps. I favor the "music" side. For without good recordings all your equipment purchases are for nought! 
Do you leave your components on 24/7?
Since the number of audiophiles worldwide represent less than 1% of the population - NO measurable effect! Now about those billion motor vehicles ... 
Robertson 4010 user manual
I have a 4010 in my collection - but, alas, no manual! This amp was praised by Peter Moncrieff in IAR (back in the early '80s). Connection to your Carver preamp (I have one also) should be straightforward! 
Why is the high end stratospheric?
Any takers for that $95K Audio Note DAC?
