| Wilson Audio Haters skytop, it’s important to not bring up politics, even just a little, in these forums. We want to stick to audio here. Even that causes tempers to flair sometimes, so definitely no mention of politics. | |
| Music you found on Tidal Delbert McClinton's latest, Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong - Foreverly, Karl Seglem - Nordic Balm, some of Dion's recent stuff.It's great to be able to hear unfamiliar music without having to lay out $10 to $15. | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Here is what McGowan wrote: "CDs had one thing right, they were going to last forever. Now, studies show that may not always be the case. "At issue is the fact that optical media uses a combination of different chemicals and manufacturing processe... | |
| Aesthetix vs ARC limniscate, what amp are you using? | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? I have a number of cds that are 30 years old and I haven’t had one go bad yet.

I think the functions would be the same in your integrated:http://ww... | |
| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile To get serious for just a minute, you probably don’t need the best preamp tubes in all 6 positions on your Primaluna. Someone can tell you which positions make the biggest difference in the sound. For example, my Aesthetix Calypso has a voltage am... | |
| Is Audio Bluebook dead? I agree. I don't think it's being updated. I think I looked Up Martin Logan Montis, which are popping up for sale all the time, but they aren't listed. | |

Another good resource is Brent Jessee's web site:http://www.audiotubes.com/ He has the Telefunken tube codes there as well as explanations of all the tube varieties ... | |
| Tube Help--I'm trying to make sense of the codes on this tube. You’re both welcome.jbhiller, you can also see the date Amperex painted their label on below the 12AU7A, 76-48, meaning the 48th week of 1976. The labels were usually painted on a while after the tube was made, so this verifies that the tube was m... | |
| Tube Help--I'm trying to make sense of the codes on this tube. Phillips was a Dutch conglomerate that owned many tube brands such as Mullard, Amperex, Siemens, Valvo and many others. Tubes made in one factory were often labelled with another factory’s brand if an order needed to be filled or whatever. Phillip... | |

The etched code is the way to determine exactly what you have.Gf is the tube type, in this case a 12AU72 is the change code which tells you what revision of the tube you have, like a model number.The second row of codes tell you the factory it was... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Yes Ralph, but she did sell her turntable and vinyl.
