| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp Quick follow-up: were those Gold Lyons you put into your Rogue NOS or new run? Brand new production but they are doing really good things at Gold Lyon. I buy my tubes from Upscale or the original equipment manufacturer. My Gold Lyons came from ... | |
| LTL Freight Shipping Company Recommendation for Speakers Klipsch uses Old Dominion. | |
| Oh my goodness! The beauty of this hobby is that you can assemble a really nice system for very reasonable money if you know what you are doing. Reasonable money will have a different meaning for each individual. | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I've been in this hobby a long time. I have mostly what I called mid-range gear. Most of my systems were under $15000, the majority were around $6000. Over the years quality gear has become more affordable. Still trying to improve my system/s, nev... | |
| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp I just ordered Gold Lyon preamp tubes for my Quicksilver Mid-Mono. Looking for a little more extension. Previously I replaced the stock tubes in my Rogue Sphinx V3 with Gold Lyons and it really made a nice improvement. Those aren't cheap tubes any... | |

Cary used Ruby tubes on my six-pacs but those exact tubes aren't made anymore. Not sure what to say, sometimes you just have to gi... | |
| Fake bi-wire with two amps I got a good one off of Amazon. Very well made and solid. Note; You don't want to turn the tube amp on until you have the speakers switched. | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions I didn't think that the (reissued) Gold Lion made a EL34? Or is the KT77 synonymous with EL34? I was hoping you would catch that. Looks like Glennewdick has the inside line. I haven't used the KT77s yet but have used the KT-88s. I guess my fav... | |
| Fake bi-wire with two amps You need a switch box. | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions Try some Gold Lyons all around. And I would switch to EL-34s if you want more tube goodness. | |
| McIntosh MC 2106: HUM!!! You might try one of the other speaker outputs. That will use different windings on the autoformer transformer. | |
| VU meters added to Cambridge Audio Eventually the dancing meters become a distraction you don't need. They can tell you when you are maxed out but a light will do the same thing. | |
