| component problems driving me from the hobby? Well,I am going to consider a successful ending,"if" it actually turns out to be a pre(now,looks that way)problem.

Well thanks to all,so far!!.....My equip is all connected to a "perfectly working" Exact Power EP-15a/Ultrapure unit.I regenerate a constant 120 v at 60 hz,in "balanced" connect for A/C.The Sub(Rel Stentor)is in it's own dedicated line(all lines a... | |
| Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable. Jloverys,be careful,or you'll find yourself with a "not so nice" web-stalker,in Audiofeil...just looking to spew crap at a whim,for lack of better things to do,and not giving a damn about anything but a good ha-ha.Like when we were in grade school... | |

| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Dgad,nice post....Btw,didn't I meet you at HE 2007?There are not many other hobbyists living in Aruba,whom I met at that show,so I assume this "is" you. Sorry for my short session listening to the Singer demo,with you. Best | |

| What do defective phono tubes sound like? Jloveys,the apparent solution was what Atmosphere mentioned.He has superb experience,and is very well intentioned.I thought through his comments,and it coincided with my dilemma(I'd not been able to spin vinyl for about six months,due to what I th... | |
| What do defective phono tubes sound like? Jloveys,first off--what an interesting table you have put together!I have some friends who will be very interested in your mod. Secondly,I won't consider a "happy ending" until I have spun some vinyl for a few,unimpeded listening sessions. Then joy! | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? Yes,maybe the type of "unawareness" that certain "way long in the tooth" folks have,when "old age" and crankyness affects good spirits! Keep up the good work for "whatever remaining time is left"! | |
