| How long do records last? I always thought the first 10 plays were the best. | |
| Help me mod my tube amp I think I would start by using Gold Lyon KT77s. Do you really need the power of KT120s? | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? I’m not really sure why that is. But my tube amps have huge power supplies and oversized capacitors. That doesn’t hurt. | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? This thread is from 2021 and the OP never posted again. You might want to start a new thread. | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? @billpete Russ69 What AR's did you have? Just wondering. I knew you would ask that. I sorry I can't remember.

| 12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated. Today's Gold Lyons are very good, affordable, and available. | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Amir is a modern day Julian Hirsch. Neither did anything to advance the state of the art in audio. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Series one and two were interesting pieces. After that, not very good. I had series one for a good while but quicky progressed. I tried series 5 for about 15 minutes, there was no hope for them. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Times have definitely changed. You used to be able to count on a decent used value on good hi-fi gear, guns, cars, motorcycles, etc. Now your lucky to get more than thrift value. I know, I've sold 100s of those things through the years. Not sure w... | |
