speakers for tube amp
Crutchfield sells the RB61s for $550/pair, so I'll go with that price.I always recommend Tekton Design speakers for those looking for tube friendly speakers under $1000. I like the Lore @ $1,000 better than Klipschorns, so don't go by me. I know I... 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
About 44 years ago.I'm 48 now 
jolida volume control
Forget #2 above. I don't know what I was thinking. 
jolida volume control
So you are saying that when you fire up the amp the music is at max volume? If so the only things I can think of are:1. The previous owner converted the integrated to a power amplifier by disabling the volume. If so you'll need a volume control of... 
When to replace pre-amp tube?
When you get curious as to how another brand or type will sound in your gear. 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Johncdnt - If the replacement drivers are more sensative then you'd need to compensate for that. I suppose with more sensative tweeters or L Pads or something.Also I would think that the cabs etc were designed specifically for the B102, no? 
I NEED a tone control to control bass.
Monitors and a sub? 
HELP Sudden Phonomena II Groundloop Hum
I would think that if the DIP switches are the cause it would be in only one channel. There's a set of switches for each channel on the Musical Surroundings.My Phonomena Nova is dead quiet with Grado and DL103r 
What's better than a Jolida 100cdp & under 1k?
I like the Rega Apollo better than the Jolida. I've owned both. 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Jedinite - I don't believe the numbers add up to support what you're saying. I've seen very few for sale, and of the 3 I listed earlier 2 are planning to buy Tekton again after they sell.I have seen many more Omens for sale (including mine), altho... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
Docks, not sure who you are referring to re: Buyer's remorse. I've never heard Druids.I'll assume at this point that you do not like the speakers for other reasons than the way they sound, or the way they measure, since you insist on ignoring what... 
Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
Docks - I've seen the graphs before. They look terrible.The reason why the NRCC suspends the speakers under test is so they can minimize room/boundry interactions. That's all good, unless your speaker happens to use the floor to produce sound. If ... 
Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
Docks - Wasn't there more to the story there, something like they suspended the speaker (as the do when they test all speakers) but the Druids are bottom porting, hence the poor response??I remember reading something like that once or twice. 
Leave the turntable running?
I thought everyone popped the record off to switch albums or sides. I turn it on when I start to play it and I turn it off when I shut the system down.
