EveAnna has sold her biz
No surprise it was just a matter of time. Earlier in the year, a  friend in the Industry said Manley has been dealing with a challenging market, especially these past few years. They were operating with a smaller staff and less operating  hours. ... 
I changed a Tube and…
Based on a quick check  center 12au7 is the gain for both channels. The other 2 are L/R are  driver and probably won't make  a noticeable difference.        
I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???
It's EASILY heard ONLY if you have this press, played on a Tech Das Zero w/ Etsuro Gold cartridge. https://www.discogs.com/release/2241197-Led-Zeppelin-Led-Zeppelin-III Seriously, at least on my modest rig and period US press it's subtle, but y... 
Help with TT for my System
You could probably negotiate 'all in price/shipping" for this Technics GAE UNDER $4K  https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbej73-technics-new-50th-anniversary-turntable-turntables With that and your nice system, you're done.  
Was anyone else caught out by this?

Help me mod my tube amp
I'm sure your amp is performing better than it already  is. How my much in parts/ labor are you in? "For the 12AU7s, I added NOS Brimar from Upscale Audio." I looked up the current price to compare what I paid 8 years ago- ouch, but not obscene... 
Vinyl that is impossible to find
With the exceptionof their first  2 albums 10000 Maniacs recordings were done during the dreadful digital CD days.There wasn't a US LP release, as CD was king. The euro press that was released probably sounds no better than the CD. Likely, you'r... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
Long holiday weekend- Twilight  Zone marathon . 1959- 1964.  Amazing how Rod Serling and crew wrote storylines that play out in real time 2025? 🤔  
And a Happy 4th to all!
My prediction thread will be deleted was incorrect! Disappointing to read the now deleted posts and know WHO think/believe as the do. Oh well...reminder they're just mere humans too.  Back to watching Tour De France. Suffering beyond belief.  L... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
SIGH... The expected, typical comments trickling in. I'll  give this thread another few hours.    
And a Happy 4th to all!
There is no reason for celebration in California 😪 Sadly, there are those who... I keep my seatbelt on.  
Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades
"I’m not sure that’ it is an upgrade or just a lateral move." VPI Classic 1 user(12 years?) Modwright could be a nice "upgrade"  To my ears tube presentation is more"organic/real" sounding. I use a tube phono equivalent to that model.  
What do you do when you get a bad vinyl record pressing?
The bass was there! Why it's missing on your main rig is a mystery? My 1st inclination is the cartridge/setup. If other LP's are fine, then never mind. The album Electric is especially punchy as it was produced by Rick Rubin. The Cult – Electri...

How reliable is PS audio equipment?
"BHK preamp is only good for 20 years due to the design." There is a built-in timer. When the clock strikes 20, masked audio henchmen break down your front door and take it away.
