| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp If cost of ownership is of any concern, it is worthwhile noting that preamp tubes last a very long time while amplifier power tubes have definite lifetimes. I say this having recently replaced 8 kt88s in my amp. I will also say that I wouldn't h... | |
| WILLSENTON R35i Integrated Amp : A Standby question I'd try taping the window and see if the problem re-occurs. Should rule out any interference from lights. Bill | |
| Yamaha RN-2000a I think Outlaw makes a receiver. I don't know if it fits your bill, but it has great reviews and is a real deal price-wise. Bill | |
| Fake bi-wire with two amps First, I agree totally that this is a bad idea. A year or so ago my nephew called and asked me the same question. He wanted to connect two amps to the same speaker terminals and only power up the amp he wanted to use at the time. I told him it ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I might have to say the Fugs. Anybody remember Boobs a Lot? | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? Just to add--I am a Mcintosh owner and fan and although I quailed at the cost of this book, it turned out to be a good read and no regrets. Bill | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? The book is really The Mcintosh Story. Mr. Kessler did a lot of interviews and covered a lot of ground, so IMO there isn't a lot of real depth about circuits or individual products. It's more of a journey than a textbook. It did reflect the goa... | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? In the book "for the love of music" there are commentaries about tube availability and performance that Mcintosh dealt with in their design of tube-based products. It's an interesting read if you are into Mcintosh. That being said, things may h... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. I have an early Glider, it was my first higher-end cartridge. You should use the MC gain setting or things will be pretty quiet, if you like to listen at volume. Benz cartridges work best with the higher load settings. I would suggest trying 22... | |

| Jo No. 5 mounting problem Just to add a little, I tried the No 5 on 2 type IV arms as well as my IV.5i and none would fit the cartridge. Down the road I acquired a 309 for other purpose and was surprised to find that the No 5 fits OK on the 309. The drawings on the old S... | |
| Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue For what it's worth--I had a similar issue with an Ariston table. The platter was spinning really fast and kept speeding up. I took the table to a local stereo repair shop and the problem turned out to be dirty potentiometers in the speed adjust... | |
| how to remove a woofer from b@w801n I watched/helped a tech remove my 801N woofers. The driver is held in by the perimeter screws, and there is a paper gasket around the edge. IIRC the connectors are not hard-wired. Removal is much easier with the speaker laying on it's back. Th... | |
| Basic question - connect McIntosh integrated amp to LS360 speakers? Basic answer. Interconnects and speaker wires are different things. Interconnects are terminated with rca plugs or din connectors and are used to connect things like CD players to the amplifier. Speaker wires are basically twinlead wires term... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" OK, I have a story. My MC2000 weighs 135 lb. and I had it stacked vertically above 2 monoblocks also stacked. The MC2000 was on the top shelf sitting on a BDR Shelf for the Source (about 35 lb. I think) sitting on racing cones. I was moving to ... |
