| Is Auto Room Correction Right For You? Well, Here You Go... My TacT RCS 2.2X(heavily modified), has been doing a fine job, going on two decades. | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? This may be of interest, to some: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/spatial-audio-lab-x2-loudspeaker/?mc_cid=c84e1696c7&mc_eid=cf518eebf4 | |

| Rectifier For Cary SLP 05 Slightly less warm/better definition(realism), but- still with an extended life expectancy(20K to 30K hours). There are also a few differing iterations, within their metal base, GZ34s, that will vary slightly in presentation. I prefer th... | |
| Rectifier For Cary SLP 05 Personally; there are only two 5AR4 iterations, that I would consider against the Mullard(Blackburn) GZ34. Both, from Philips: https://www.ebay.com/c/168100339 and: https://tubeworld.com/gz34metal.htm No connection to either reference. | |
| How much is "LOUD" still a reference point for some? When I can feel my presence, within the same volume/expanse of air, as the original recording venue: it’s, "loud" enough. Difficult, with certain pipe organ, direct to discs(yeah- and Telarc cannons, too). | |
| Replacing capacitors in Dalquist DQ-10 Speakers +1, on the Mid-Bass' electrolytic, being replaced. Back when I was upgrading/mirror-imaging the DQ-10s, in my shop; those caps hadn't been compromised yet(it's been a minute). Easy to forget, how many years it's been(denial, I suppose). | |

| Vacuum tube ! And Warnings Prudent step one, before inserting new tubes(when possible): turn the bias to zero. That's after one has ascertained amp/tube compatibility. | |
| Another tube question Until the prices come back down, for my beloved GE 6550As(imagine that): I'll probably stay with the Gold Lion KT88 repops. | |
| Help me decide which E88CC tubes i should buy Thanks for the above info. The only reason I've purchased tubes, from the Germany based, eBay seller mentioned: I was dealing with him, years before eBay was a thing and very confident of his expertise/honesty. It's been my iron-clad rule,... | |
| Help me decide which E88CC tubes i should buy Well; your tastes in sound seem to mirror my own. As I asked: do you have a lead, on any genuine, NOS of the specific Reflektor tube, that topped that list? At what price? I haven’t seen any, in quite a while, for anything reasonabl... | |
| Help me decide which E88CC tubes i should buy The best(least colored) of the 6N23p’s were the 1975, silver shield, SWGP, from Reflektor. I’d be interested in a well-matched, NOS pair of those, that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, just to see if they better the CCa, to my ears and in my own... |
