Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs
Thank you everyone. There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews of Mofi. I personally do hear a difference with my system. I have bought about 20 Mofi in about the last 2!weeks. Since I only listen to digital I think it is worth it to me. šŸ‘  
First Tube amp suggestions
Iā€™ve had a Krell FPB 600 class A for the last 8 yrs. I recently bought the Audio Research REF 750s mono amps and I am in heaven with the tube sound. Everything u have ever heard about tubes are so true. I was just listening for 6 hrs. And I am not... 
Herbies tube dampers
@tubegbĀ  Ā Thanks. My Herbies are coming today in the mail. Iā€™ll have my review on them in this post in about a week or so.Ā   
Herbies tube dampers
@tubegbĀ wow. Thatā€™s unbelievable that u had bad experiences with the on the signal tubes of all Audio Research. Ā What were the ones u had success with ?Ā   
Herbies tube dampers
@noromanceĀ Ā Nope. šŸ‘šŸ˜‚  
Herbies tube dampers
@noromanceĀ Ā Ā Herbies does make them for power tubes 1000* degrees.Ā   
Tube arch
@atmasphereĀ Ā Thank you for your response. So actually what u are saying is that when a tube goes bad it will always ARC ? And will take out a resistor along with it ? Is this on all tube amps ? Or Audio research? Or just on Audio Research Ref 750s... 
As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?
My dad had a stereo in the living room of our home. It was an XAM receiver and speakers from Korvettes with a Gerard TT. Loved playing his 33s and 45s in it. I was hooked after that. I was 5 yrs old.Ā   
Tube microphonics
@onhwy61Ā Ā Ā I was thinking the same from the very beginning too. Plus my speakers are B&W 800 matrix. Top and bottom bass also. They act like having 2 subwoofers on ea speaker.Ā   
Tube microphonics
@mulvelingĀ @jjss49Ā @jetterĀ Ā Thanks for clarity on tube dampers on tube power Ā amps. @mulvelingĀ Ā Hell no Iā€™m not gonna spend almost 2k just for looks. Wouldnā€™t even spend 50$ just for looks on a tube damper without it doing nothing.Ā   
Tube microphonics
Update on tube dampers for KT150s. Herbieā€™s does make tube dampers for KT150s. They are $54 ea. So I will need a total of 16 x 2. Power output. And 2 x 2 drivers. For a total of 36 KT150s. -$1944Ā   
Tube microphonics
@carlsbad2Ā Ā Ā Kinda both. Because I really donā€™t want to move those amps with the full sets of tubes already in them. Donā€™t want anything happening to the tubes by a bump or so. I already had one tube arc on me the first time I tried my amps when t... 
Tube microphonics
@jjss49Ā  Ty. I will try it. Appreciate the feedback.Ā   
Tube microphonics
@fuzztoneĀ  What is tube microphonics ? Also I really donā€™t have that much room beside my speakers for these amps. Thatā€™s also why I wanted to know more about this before a keep moving them.Ā  Ā   
"Can You Lift Yours?"
@jetterĀ Ā Thatā€™s Exactly right. The Krell FPB 600 was more of a bitch to carry upstairs because of those sharp heat sinks and only had handles in the back. The ARC Ref 750 have no heat sinks and have handles on the front and back. So I was able to ...
