Primaluna signal tube replacement
The 2 innermost (gain)are the slots to fuss with. The other 4 slots arguably are fine with whatever brand you choose. Any  " SQ improvement" is subtle at best- more so than changing the 2 gain tubes. 2 years seems a little early to change out pr... 
I won the stressless lottery
Nice score. Maybe if you hung out a little longer, the matching footrest would have been tossed also.  
The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore
THE MOST important piece to the audiophool puzzle. When the hearing deficit becomes markedly evident in tests, you can only do so much striving for T.A.S. - room, gear and tweaks. Tinnitus, with hearing loss @7Khz here. Adapting without aid, unt... 
What record weight for Rega RP10
"I am using a Kleos and have it set up pretty darned good." theo- the Lyra is on the same level as Apheta. Arguably, not being fully optimized with a Rega arm? "want to try the Rogue Ares II Magnum or a Sutherland" You may not be hearing what ... 
What record weight for Rega RP10
The best way to enjoy a Rega P10 is to use it as designed-with the most Rega cart you can afford(Apheta), along with the best phonostage your wallet can tolerate Nothing more. Once that's accomplished, listen to records and avoid audio forums.    
To condition or not ?
There's only one concern with the motor-33.3 speed consistency, which ALL tables suffer from. Some more than others. Get one of these for REAL TIME speed monitoring. Eclipse Roadrunner – Sota Turntables  
You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent?
Retail audio is certainly no walk in the park. Just seems like a fun way to use a bank line of credit. Carrying known  brands often comes with minimum annual volume purchase requirements. Then there's moving the product, along with paying the bi... 
Will Origin Live Conqueror tonearm fit my Rega RP10's skeletal plinth?
lgo-jerry Has OL been able to offer insight on your project? I would think they could at least offer measurements/dimension of minimum area required to make it happen? By looking at pics of the tonearm, it looks like clearance(height of plinth)... 
Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88.

Will Origin Live Conqueror tonearm fit my Rega RP10's skeletal plinth?
"I've bought much better phonostage, amplifier, cables, cartridge...All while using the RP10 with its stock RB-2000 tonearm. I can't say whether there would be further improvement by using a "better" tonearm, but it would seem to be the logical ne... 
Will Origin Live Conqueror tonearm fit my Rega RP10's skeletal plinth?
The RP10 as is, certainly is a good table. The current P10 iteration based on reviews takes it up a notch. Unless you’re planning a future table upgrade, it seems like a waste to do such modifications and possibly loss resale value -even if you o... 
WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?
Wow! The thread title hurt my ears. I mixed things up this morning by using Ceylon cinnamon, instead of the common supermarket Cassia variety in my oatmeal. Wild blueberries, Medjool dates, raisins and walnuts-delicious! I pretend it’s an omele... 
High Frequency Hearing Loss
Good luck on your hearing loss management. My deficit is 7Khz along with ever present tinnitus Listening to my preferred format-LP’s thru tubes helps take the mind off my own situation. The cheese suggestions will only add unnecessary calories ... 
What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables??
Put in your best offer on this Rega Planar 6 demo as new weeks use w/war... For Sale | Audiogon As mentioned, you get what you pay for. Other than novelty, sub $1000 entry tables are a waste of money, IMO. I’d up my digital setup before playing... 
Maximum Upgrade Potential
By way of owning a decent amp(your case the PL Dialogue) for an extended period of time suggests the PL is competent at what a tube amp is supposed to do. Tube amps aren’t’ doing anything different in those 20 years. It’s not an absolute must, bu...
