| Ultrasonic: should I do it? You're obviously dedicated to record play.Stop thinking, and do it. Unquestionably worth it. I would go AD. Doesn't get much better, clean and dried, ready to go in a reasonable time.Look where we are at now....life is too short and weird to not i... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary snackeyp-Reissue R&R in particular, has always been a fail to my ears. Since it's truly subjective like everything audiophool, I say whatever suits the ears, and is kind to the wallet.I resort to a reissue buy only if it's unobtanium e.g., mo... | |
| Rush Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary I gave my copy a spin, after reading this thread. A discog reference and matrix check indicates I have a SRM1-4001 1980 press, but with the several variants, my copy doesn't jive with those listed.My copy is very good. Quiet and punchy. Not having... | |
| Expanding questions about tubes in a preamp if you buy into the tube damping thing, may as well go big https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Standard-Tube-Halo_p_1268.html I use quiet tubes, and I'm done with it. Careful, the more you learn, the more it increases unnecessary obsession. | |

| Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance? You don't even have them in your room yet, so you don't even know how they will perform.I'm surprised getting them setup in their best location first isn't mentioned.I hope you can get them out in the room, along with appropriate room consderation... | |
| Primaluna evo 400 - unmatched tubes Find some Orings at the hardware store to fit the shaft of the cage, to allow the necessary clearance. You probably need 2-3 for the required lift.If you do a search, there are other ways owners done it. I use the old RCA 6L6G big bottle in my PL... | |
| Sam here again.Is new remastered vinyl fake vinyl? There are 2 choices1-spend some free time bin diving, and referencing pressing deadwax.Then be prepared to purchase either a winner or loser. If you get a loser, try again.2- https://www.better-records.com/Pretty simple. | |

| What is the order of importance of the parts of an analogue rig? All the above applies. But without a great recorded LP in good condition it’s a waste of money and time.Being a period press snob, I’m obviously biased.That’s a separate thread topic altogether. IMO, may as well have a nice digital setup, if you’r... | |

| McIntosh C 47 phono stage versus the Herron phono. You will only determine what sounds "better" by trying the Herron. Subjective and just and endless debate if an internal vs separate is "better"There's a reason many like the Herron, but it's not 100% liked as anything.It's already apples and ora... |
