| Using Different Power Tube Types Simultaneously (PrimaLuna) I have a PL DLHPYou could mix and match power tubes,but you're not going to hear optimum performance of any particular model. One of those you can...buy why? The PL units do not require matched power tubes. | |
| Pentode Power Tubes - Ultralinear vs Triode DPHP user here.Check out the KT77 is you like the EL34 sound. To my ears they are a little more dynamic overall. Look at KT88 for more on the bottom end at the expense of less midrange magic. I have been using the old RCA 6l6G coke bottle in my PL... | |

| Upgrading phono stage "The soundsmith Othello ES is of interest too."cpdkee-I am using the SS Otello as a backup for my "proper" $1K+ cart. Good bang for the buck. Phono stage is critical to hear what the fuss is all about. Spend as much as you can tolerate on the phon... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Looks like a winner, based on price.Hopefully it outperforms expectations. Looks the part, maybe better than equally priced Chifi. Good luck-no surprises and smoke when powered up. | |

| Wavestream Kinectics Deluxe Phono I don't have one.Looks to be a little overkill but we're audiophools, so the more switches and knobs, the better! I suppose if I had a VERY nice setup with an extensive collection with unique LP's this is it. How about that air capacitor and the c... | |

| Macintosh MR71 owners-anyone replace their stereo bulb? Thanks for the response.I was afraid removing the glass was gonna come up. I've read about the disintegrating lettering. Guess I'll put that project on ice for now. Made the mistake of not having all the bulbs replaced when it was serviced last ye... | |
| Classical Vinyl Series Great setup.How in the heck did Horace Silver lift that intro to Steely Dan's "Ricky don't loose that number" off the 1974 Pretzel Logic Album? I like my 1965 copy. It was an usual find-nearly perfect in a box very cheap, uninteresting LP's. It m... | |

| Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...? "I like to sometimes listen to tunes while I'm watching 10 games"Sports book in the basement-that's a serious fan.How anyone can be serious about "listening to tunes" while doing that is puzzling. Serious listening? That's laughable. To each his o... | |
| Cartridge for VPI TT with JMW 9 tonearm I see that in all my babble I failed to include a comment directly to your lineup choices.The OC9 series is quite good at their price point. I've used the OC9 III. Be aware AT's can have a VERY active top end. The newer series appears to give mor... | |
| Cartridge for VPI TT with JMW 9 tonearm A popular $1K cart for the VPI is the Audio Technica ART9. You can find the 1st generation for under $1Khttps://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.htmlThere are plenty of threads on the ART 9.Your phono stage is up to the task, but the ART9 or equivale... |
