| Can magnet placed beside cartridge damage a coil? 1.3 and .8 what? Was he measuring resistance(Ohms) or output(mV)? If resistance; he's fulla shiite. A strong magnet can have an effect on a another(ie: demagnetize), but will do nothing lasting to a coil. | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc Their transformers(the foundation of a tube amp) are very good. The sound can vary from tubey/euphonic, to very clean and extended, depending on the owner's choice of tubes, caps, resistors and wiring. Left stock; you'll have the first presentation. | |
| Phono stage help Heroes are a nice interconnect. They were the first Kimbers that I tried. The farther up the Kimber line you progress; the more of everything good you will hear from your source. I'm using KS-1030's and a Synergistic Tricon Analog(KS-1130's on my ... | |
| Phono stage help The Shelter has .5mV of output, which may be enough, depending on your need for volume, the efficiency of your speakers, room size, and the levels at which your vinyls are recorded(which vary widely). note: One of the noticeable benefits of the me... | |
| Phono stage help Largely; the answer(re: the GFP) would depend on the output of your cartridge. There is only so much gain available(60/66dB), with the GCPH. If you are using a very low output moving coil; there may not be enough voltage, at the GCPH's output, to ... | |
| Phono stage help The GCPH's power supply already has fairly fast recovery diodes, from the factory. It responds very well, to the addition of HI-FI Tuning's Supreme fuse and an upgraded PC. I've always recommended the Zu Mother, but- they have been discontinued, a... | |

| Spendor SP100 mid/bass rubber surround Talk to Bill, at Millersound: (http://www.millersound.net/service.htm) I used to own a shoppe myself, and did reconing/speaker system repair, as a facet. Trust me when I say, this guy knows his business. He'll sell you whatever parts you need, as ... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations With what you save through a retip(If you haven't already): Replace the GCPH's stock fuse, with a HI-FI Tuning Supreme and upgrade the power cord to something with conductors of 10 to 8AWG(preferably silver and NO PVC or vinyl dielectric). You wil... | |

| Do tubes have a break in period? Though the internals of the 300B tube are larger than those of a lot of other tubes; the same components(cathodes/anodes/grids) & dynamics are present in all: (http://www.stereophile.com/content/search-perfect-300b-tube-page-3) (http://www.ste... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? A streamlined burn-in solution: (http://phonoclone.com/diy-rack.html) The last sentence applies to the film caps, that this thread addresses. | |
| How many albums do you need ? Too many albums still aren't enough. | |
| Why do NOS Tubes sound better than new tubes? I need to sleep better AND stop posting at 3:00am! Again: Sorry for the anxious moments. | |
| Why do NOS Tubes sound better than new tubes? Mr X- Actually; it depends on semantics. Read the first paragraph of this article: (http://www.svvintageamps.com/tubebias.php) Most often; people refer to, "over biased" as being too hot, rather than the other way around. I simply covered both bas... |
