| Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube "It sounds like around 5,000 hours." ghdprentice- I''m thinking the tubes are now somewhere in the 5-7K zone, so yeah I'm not surprised to see one futz out now. Anyone remember buying the 5 pack when they were "new?" | |
| Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube facten- I've never cared/paid attention to tube hours, but the amp /tubes have served me well. Over the 6 year period there have been random marathon weekends of near 24 hour service, after work, almost daily 2 hour dinner sessions, random tim... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression "Congrats on your PL" kennyc- who purchased a PL EVO 300 hybrid? Wish it were me. I have a 6 year old PL HP. harrylavo- your insight is spot on. | |
| non-high end collectables, radios..etc. When someone see's the brand Crosley or a few others today, it's just a name. Here is where those companies made their craft when plastic and transistors are weren't in use yet. Wood, metal and bakelite. Beautiful Art Deco pieces. http://qualit... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. "I’m much more a music lover than an audiophile, and consider good sound a welcome bonus, not a requirement." bdp24-we’re probably in the minority, based on some of the kooky threads started here! I only mention SQ since this is, an audiogeek for... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. I see my post wasn't complete not also mentioning some the songwriters of the songs. Jesse is guitar player. While the actual songs are good, JED's delivery I hear as "like it on not" or an acquired listen. Maybe not the last word in audiogee... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Listening to a new acquisition-promo DJ copy according to Discogs selling presently for $75.00.

| Anyone go from GN PH-10 to PH-1000? Your NVO likely sounds more convincing. | |
| Beautiful listening rooms THE most difficult part of the equation. Get the listening space to look inviting and tranquil whether its a dedicated room or living space. Many setups look stellar as far as gear. Room aesthetics....not so much. | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression ."If US brands want people to not buy MIC, they will have to be price competitive" boosteddis- I think everyone would like to see that happen. REALITY- you maybe would have a nice looking case full of air, an that's about it. The Aesthetix ... | |
| Wow....just look at this guy's car audio..... Just looks like he adapted home audio gear in his van? What a mess. At least he didn't play BTS. | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? "Unless a used SDS pops up, that might be as far as I go." ozzy62-if you do get the bug, look for a used ADS(latest iteration) Jump on a Phoenix setup if you ever see one listed-rare. You can buy the tach alone, to verify how stable/unsta... | |
