| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? You should check out the GE 6DJ8 . I like these tubes and they will not cost you an arm and a leg. I use all GE preamp tubes,12ax7,12at7,12au7,etc. I like the ones from the 50's and 60's the best! | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 Just swap the left and right channel tubes. If the trouble moves to the right channel then you will know it is a bad power tube. New EL34 tubes are only about 15 bucks each. I have used JJ EL34L power amp tubes and found them very nice. If you wan... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Since you are on a tight budget and looking at Parasound,you should take a look at this one. It has all the features you need! http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PAZPRE2 | |

| Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers? If you are looking for a stand mounted type for a small room you can't go wrong with the Harbeth P3ESR. The Spendor 3/5R is also one to put on your list. I have owned both of these and I can recommend either one. Both of these are a sealed two wa... | |
| Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers? I’ve owned many Spendors over the years. The only Spendor I did not like was the SA1.
