Tube Rolling For ASL Hurricanes
I am still testing (listening to mine)....however, I did change the 6SN7's from the original tubes (I believe Chinese) to NOS Sylvanya and it made a marked improvement. The sound became more mellow and smoother. It also felt that there was more co...

Please evaluate the Lyra Helicon phono cartridge
I agree with both Jfrch and Detlof....great bargain! Clean, non fatiguing and very fast cartridge. It sometimes reminds me of the original Decca Gold 5? I did have a bit of a problem with my original Helikon...I lost the cantilever (probably my fa...
