| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I've read this thread, and am intrigued. Any ideas how the Dude would mate to a McIntosh MC275?Thanks,Tony | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? Thanks. I had the tubes tested, and the one that was in the number 2 spot tested poorly, which I think corresponds with the number 2 KT88. I did plan on replacing it because I figured it severly shortened it's life. I'm going to have them all test... | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? Got it, one of those I have. | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? Hifigeek, looking at it from the side, back row is 4 KT88's.Front row is 2 12AX, 2 12AT, 1 12AX, 2 12AT. I remember reading the first 12AX is only needed when run in stereo and not mono blocked. So I am assuming 2nd 12AX and 2 12 AT for first 2 KT... | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? Version V, newest version.Heyraz, you are absolutly right. I am considering purchasing a tube tester.HiFigeek, the weird thing is, only one tube runs away. I don't have the wiring schematic, but I'm guessing the first 2 AT's run the first 2 KT's, ... | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? The power tubes were not moved. Only the 12AT7's. I swapped them twice, both times the Tele's ran the power tube hot, but just one. I replaced them in the same spots, so I think I have it boiled down to 2 of the 4. I was thinking about swapping th... | |
| Tube issues, 12at7 affect KT88? No I did not. I will be getting them tested. I swapped them out, seems to work fine. Put them back in, same thing, one power tube started getting very hot. It's obviously something in the 12AT's. I think I have it down to a couple of them, as I pl... | |
| Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31 Thank you for the replies.Audiozen, I have considered the Primaluna, but that seems to come up for sale used even less than the Primare or Lector, which isn't very often. | |
| Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31 Thank you for your responses. Does anyone know definitively how many DACs the Lector has? As Mitch mentioned, their translations are not always clear. The Primare has 4 1704's, the Lector states "Dual Mono," that could be read as 4 or 2. Will the ... | |
| VPI turntable repairs By the way, I believe the plinth on your model is acrylic. | |
| VPI turntable repairs Is it the Piano finish? You may want to check with a piano shop, I'm sure they have the expertise in repairing such matters. If they cannot repair it (it sounds like you may be in the Seattle area), if you absolutley cannot stand it, I'll take it ... | |
| Rega Planar 3 Thanks for the responses so far. Elizabeth, that is kind of where I was thinking, what the Dual was for it's time is where I feel the lower end Regas are now, and I was wondering if there would be a big difference. However, I have been out of viny... | |
| Would love some thoughts on how to upgrade my gear If you are in Seattle, take your turntable to Jim at JnS Phonograph Needles on 65th. 206-524-2933. The shop doesn't look like much, but Jim knows turntables. He can set it up right!Tony | |
| Replacement recommendation It's official, the cartridge is dead. I ordered a 2M Black. Should I go ahead and swap the tonearm cable anyway? One of those 'while I'm in there' items.Thanks,Tony |
