| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping Follow up: The Mullard 12at7s sound great. And the frightening glow explosion flash when the amp powers up is a beautiful thing. | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 5 and tube upgrades After one of my JAN Philips 12at7s decided to commit Hari Kari it was suggested by Thetubestore I try the Mullards, and they're on the way. | |
| Switching preamps in and out Salectric and I live as brave rebels unafraid to dare the electrons around us...go ahead obscure grounding issue...make my day. | |
| NEED AUDIOQUEST TYPE 8 OR CV-8, PLEASE HELP. I've tried a LOT of connectors and now I use various AQ spade and banana (gold screw CF variants) connectors and they're extremely easy to install, look cool, and are built very well. Nobody seems to make a better screw-on spade or banana. I use s... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker Near Boston. If you're coming over let me know so I can clean the place up a little. | |
| Speaker Placement I try to sit with ham grilling for breakfast at least 8 feet away. | |
| Switching preamps in and out I have only practical experience and my comment applies only to amps with gain knobs (like the OP's amp) where no...and I mean zero...signal gets anywhere in the amp when the gain is all the way down (rare in home audio, common in pro audio), ther... | |

| Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD After hearing something on Pandora I recently found a CD called "Enrico Pieranunzi, Marc Johnson, and Joey Baron Play Morricone"...great stuff....nice sounding CD. | |
| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp I'm still waiting for the Gold Pin Deluxe version of the KT120...the current version I own is just too inexpensive for its own good. | |

| Who needs drugs when you've got music? During a recent 9 year stint where I designed and ran a soundsystem for a monthly concert series, we also did a local cable TV interview show with the musicians playing a few live songs I'd record (single large diaphragm condenser mic mixed to a h... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping I should have said "ordered" the Mullards...they don't get here until Monday or something. The only tube Jedinite24 seemingly doesn't have (and I do have) are the el cheapo Sovtek KT88s I bought a while back...and damn if they don't also sound gre... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker The 1.6 was maybe $2300 new? I've seen 'em used in perfect shape for far less...you want the outriggers because it's the only way to get them to sound like Polynesian canoes. |
