My floor is wood so it seems unanimous that the cable lifters will be unnecessary.As far as room acoustics are concerned, I found them just too difficult to get right.

| Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer I am begining to think that the answer may be that the Yaqin tube buffer is supplied with a Chinese 6N1 and was probably designed for that tube. While the 6DJ8 may work, it and 6922/7308 tubes have different heater elements etc. In fact, in the re... | |
| Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer The label was pretty much rubbed all off so the price on eBay was very good. I decided to burn in the tube for 36+ hours on the outside chance it was actually new and it seems to be settling in. I will have to reassess it after that time. | |
| Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer Oops. I meant to say that the manufacturer states that 6N1, 6N11, & 6DJ8 will all work. However, no mention is made of 6N1P. | |

| Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference? Thanks for the response. I just started using Pandora and noticed those chirping sounds. I thought that it was a hardware issue with my system perhaps, but I see that I can avoid those sounds by upgrading. | |

| Conrad Johnson MV60 Generally Conrad Johnson pieces are built like tanks. I have gone from the MV-52 > MV-55 > MV-60 and have no reliability issues. When power tubes go, the fuse blows and that's it. The only reason for my upgrading was sonics. I am now happy a... | |
| Audiophile TT article in Forbes Gentlemen:I think of great importance to our Audiophile hobby is to email Forbes and congratulate them on writing about these turntables, etc. Maybe they should also write about the resurgence of tube amplifiers... | |
