Here's what I bought in 1977: Ariston RD11S/SME3009/ MicroAcoustics2002, AGI 511 preamp, GAS Son Of Ampzilla, lnfinity Monitor 1A's with Walsh tweeters! Verion ICs and Polk Cobra Cable. For FM listening I had a Marantz 2270 receiver. And all this ... | |
| Laney ironheart 30 combo amp tube replacement The JJ''s are a good value for the price. Any of their ECC83's (12AX7's) will do just fine! No need to worry about so-called "premium" ones! I can recommend putting a 5751 in V1. This is a low-noise version. And as the first "gain" tube it has the... | |
| Laney ironheart 30 combo amp tube replacement I have a Laney PT30MV Series II head. Same tubes! I prefer vintage US, British and German tubes: GE, Sylvania, Mullard, Telefunken. These of course cost more usually than present-day ones. But have much longer life, even bought used! And superior ... | |

| My Sonic Saga Get a pair of Altec Valencia's with the 811 horns! Particularly fine for Rock! I had a pair and regret selling them! A favorite speaker of the late Art Dudley. | |
| SACD Here's an excellent 10 - SACD box set: Mahler Symphonies 1 - 9 Valery Gergiev/London Symphony LSO0730. Recorded live! I have it in my collection! | |
| Used copies of The Cure “Bloodflowers” on vinyl @ $300+? $300! LOL! Ten bucks sounds about right! | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. I put a Denon 103R on my PLX1000. It works fine - no problem with the tonearm compatibility! That mc cartridge won't work with your mm phono input. It will require a step-up device - a transformer or an active stage (head amp - like a Marcof PPA-1... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. BTW I have a nice vintage Yamaha belt-drive TT in a wood plinth in my collection. | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. The best TT for under $1K is the Pioneer PLX1000. When I wanted to add a new TT to my collection of vintage TTs, that is what I chose! Direct-drive in a very substantial plinth and an excellent tonearm/headshell. There is even a high-quality inter... | |
