| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead @astolfor in which bit of gear ? I have several tube experts i source from and trust greatly. In general I like RAM ( Roger Modjeski ) for hyper strict grading of current production tubes. His many many variable computerized testing system washes ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dad had the stacker attachment for the 1019 Idler drive Dual TT but we were expressly forbidden ( verboten in Dual speak ) to even eye such a device….. I am a slacker stacker Robot | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Love David Gray, in particular White Ladder as it summed up / captured a life phase i was in….thanks Tom, i will check that out. The recuts MAY be driven by a move back to manual recutting with less compression and bass demphahasis (eq) caused by ... | |
| Raven Audio and Beyond... You have lots of choices. Raven and Tekton are just two. Open up to a much wider range of possibilities than some hyper limited sample size audiophile might suggest, including those who have owned both Raven and Tekton…. and moved on…for a variety... | |

| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! my nickname for the 996 was “ souless German appliance “…. Sometimes ya gotta add unreliable passion back into the stable…. | |
| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming It was a reasonable year in the salt mine…..have some DIY projects that may pan out, or not…no expectation bias..they are not inexpensive at $1k but why get jacked up about unheard hyperbole ? Probably buy a couple more vintage microphones for the... | |
