| Missing the Old Days Altec Model 19's will get the job done! | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Creative destruction of Capitalism! | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable They get a dopamine rush from spending money. We all do! At least it's cable - not some white powder! | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote Peter Aczel (The Audio Critic) did not prostitute himself to the manufacturers as the reviewers then and NOW do! The other reviewer that deserves respect from that era is Peter Moncrieff (International Audio Review). Both TAC and IAR should be req... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? @wolf_garcia You haven't lived until you've heard a pair of original Futterman H3AA's with KLH Nines or Quad 57's! Sublime musicality rarely equaled! | |
| Old Gyrodec and some issues.. Analog Gurus Please chime in!! You have a truly fine TT, arm and cartridge! No need for any costly mods! Get the cartridge alignment done right and you will have years of excellent analog sound to enjoy from your favorite LP's! | |
| Old Gyrodec and some issues.. Analog Gurus Please chime in!! Buy a Project Phono Box (transistor) and run a long IC to your line stage preamp. Any one from Audioquest, Kimber, Monster ... will do just fine! Least costly is fine! Ditto for the phono cable! Paying more DOES NOT bring ANY improvement in SQ (so... | |

| Flash from power tube Buy old production USA, UK, Holland, German, Japanese tubes whenever possible for longevity AND sound quality! Avoid the rest! | |

| Flash from power tube A shorted tube. Check the fuses! Hopefully they will blow before any major damage is done (fried resistors and blown caps). Open the bottom cover and look for damage (fried parts). If everything looks good and the fuses are intact you can replace ... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote I am waiting for someone to make the first "dark energy" amplifier and "dark matter" cables! And yes, the Universe is expanding faster than the Standard Model predicts! | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? +1 for the Cotter P transformer! I used it with the GAS Sleeping Beauty and FR 1mk3F. Nicely designed with Jensen transformers and a captive silver Verion Triaxial cable in a well-shielded blue case. Wish I had kept it! | |
| Pricing A nicely restored Phase Linear 400 is indeed a desirable vintage amp - and very good sounding, too! I have one in my collection. | |
| Strange tone Marshall DSL40C I confess that I have Fender Twin Reverb and a Mesa Boogie! Plus a Laney 100 watt tube head and 412 cabinet! |
