Glad your back in music again Sherod the cold solder joint strikes again. Was a common problem with Westinghouse Elevator controllers the old relay type every connection was soldered a real nightmare for troubleshooting. Those early 60s CCAs sound... 
How to find Good Pressings
One of the best ways is to use the internet and spend the time to find sites that give you the information you are looking for about a particular record. I wish there was a easy way to know all of the best stamper symbols but when you think of all...

Thats weird for sure Sherod. I m sure you checked both of those switches for continuity with a meter strange that the new switch was bad. I can understand yours going bad with all of the use it has. I would unplug the unit and use the ohms setting...

Sherod when i checked my CCAs triode 1 tested ok on all 4 tubes but triode 2 was low on all 4 tubes i dont know about circuitry but i m guessing Joseph is leaning on the 2nd triode side of the tube. I m guessing i had over 2000hrs on them and ther... 
Furutech De Stat or Talisman?
Doug i only spent 350 for my de stat and yes in this hobby you win some and lose some. I could have done my home work and used something that would have done the job for less for sure. In the end my de stat has payed for it self with handling the ... 
Furutech De Stat or Talisman?
I use both and the DE Stat is a work horse for my vinyl. It works like a charm but goes through batterys i guess i use it to much.

I wish i would have had better luck with my CCAs. I had them tested and 3 of the 4 were not even close. One of the 4 is acceptable barely. I ve had those in since early 08 and play a lot of music daily. Talking to Heinz he was surprised that my tu...

Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ???
I have a pair of the Nuforce Black boxes coming seems like a tweak that may offer a large sonic reward. Do any of you Nuforce amp users include the filters with your Black Boxes. 
Fozgometer?
Hey Restock, i checked out your Ispectrometer for mac and the frequency filters like the 1k needed look easy to apply. I use a windows based notebook and did a extensive google search and could not come up with a meter that i could understand or u... 
Fozgometer?
I used a Fluke DDM today to check Azimuth on my rig. I used a 1k left and right signal through my EAR 834p to the DDM. I had the DDM set to millivolts. I had the adjustment close by using the human ear method. I was off by a slight amount and set ...

I swapped out the IEC in my 2.1 rnb today and must say that its another step up for better sound and i can see why Joseph chose to use the Furutech gold plated IEC. One thing i did not figure on was the difference in size between the original and ...

YG my mistake for using this tread for Nuforce discussion. I will send you a PM. HiFi Tuning Fuses are in my 2.1rnb and i now understand why a designer like Joseph would include them in his new 2.2 pre amp. Right off the get go the difference for ...
