| Coda 07x Preamp latest version vs previous version I've owned the most recent 07x paired with #8. Not noisy and not at all tube-like or warm. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Although I mentioned the Coda S5.5 above (my main stereo amp), I agree with the fellow who recommended the Rega Aethos integrated. A real sleeper. | |

| Humminguru Nova - newest ultrasonic record cleaner My Hummingurus (one for wash, one for rinse) have done a great job cleaning my LPs. The Nova appears to compete with the DeGritter at 1/3 the cost. | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition Like you, I prefer a rinse. I bought two HumminGurus; one for wash and one for rinse. I previously owned a VPI and that would be ideal to do your rinse and dry. The new HG model looks to be similar in performance to the DeGritter at 1/3 the cost. | |

| Affordable Grounding Lots of discussion of these devices, primarily DIY, here: DIY Ground Box Thread I haven't tried nor do I advocate these tweaks but if one were to do so, I'm guessing the improvement would be more substantial with one of these. A relative bargain... | |
| “My Qobuz” and favorites suddenly missing in Qobuz Everything Qobuz disappeared from my Roon yesterday. All back up today. | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy Oh yeah, forgot to mention as also recommended above, if you go push pull tube, IMHO, EL84s have always been my favorite given a sufficiently efficient speaker like yours. For example, the Manley Stingray would be killer with your speakers. You c... | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy Pass is solid state. With that said, if you go solid state, the Coda S5.5 will be your best bet. Long thread elsewhere on this forum which I've linked. Many happy users including myself. I've had decades of experience with low powered tube ampli... | |
| Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes Thanks for the nice summary. | |
| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Another 2549 fan. I build custom lengths for use in our (my sons and I) production/recording studios. I've built others for audiophile friends and they are happy as well. |
