| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @gochurchgo " I think my system sounds better than it has any right to considering it’s all mid-fi stuff. " You should try the SYS in-between the phono preamp and the preamp. Why do you consider your gear Mid-Fi? | |
| Mo-fi Ultradeck owners - popping noise from speaker upon power off @dandaroyI had the same problem with my VPI HW-19. The capacitor between the switch and the motor was the culprit. The Mo-Fi deck that you have uses the same Hurst motor as the VPI. That loud pop could damage your tweeters!This is the motor!http:/... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs the new XD @kw6 Mine never changed. I sold them and located a new pair of the original ones. There are some dealers that have the original ones but they are only in black! | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs the new XD @ kw6 I am pretty sure that the new XD is the same speaker as the 40th anniversary limited edition. I have owned both and found the 40th a brighter sounding speaker. I sold the 40th and went back to the original model. Your dealer is correct.Here ... | |

| Thoughts on vintage Accuphase @ arafiq Many moons ago I owned both the C200 and the P300. Not my cup of tea. Don’t forget that those are close to 50 years old. I think you are better off spending your greenbacks on something brand new! BTW, I own those Harbeths! | |

| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @gochurchgoYes! The gain was too much with the cartridge that I use so I swapped to a lower gain tube in the phono preamp! | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @gochuchgoI have lowered the gain on my phono preamp swapping the 12AX7 with a 12AU7. You might see if you can do the same with the QS line stage! 12AX7 gain of 10012AT7 gain of 6012AY7 gain of 4512AU7 gain of 19 | |

| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I have that same preamp. I like vintage Ge 12ax7WA/6201 tubes. You should be able to get a matched pair from any reputable seller on ebay for less than 50 bucks! The GE JG-12AT7WA vintage tube is a rugged, American-made workhorse produced for the... | |
