| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? Didn't you find that those things, uh, dampened the sound? | |
| Need Help with Voltage for Integrated Nope.Insert popcorn gif here. | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? Does it make sense to use a $150 fuse?Depends. How much better does it sound?What's that you say? You were asking about tubes?What's the diff? | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Went through almost identical experience unpacking my 1970's Technics SL-1700. Running it on the floor eliminates the rack. Whatever you get on the floor is the table/bearing. But more than that it serves as a reference for what to get from a good... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Thanks gillatghAnd, turns out, the Kenwood is about what I thought it would be- a few drops of lube. Except, oops, that's the motor. Which probably does need lube but is not the bearing I was talking about. Which if sealed and dry is a problem. Al... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue No its not feedback. Feedback does this thing where it, uh, feeds back in a loop, louder each time, which usually happens pretty darn fast. That crazy loud fingernails on chalkboard screech you hear with PA systems sometimes, that is feedback. You... | |

| Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus I take it you have one and have pulled it and the numbers match? Never had to open mine but that looks and sounds about right. Chris would know. Have you tried to contact him about it?Had mine a good long while http://www.theanalogdept.com/c_mille... | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? Took me a while, and still a rough estimate, but pretty sure music to equipment comes out even if by equipment you mean..... tone arm. | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? Wait... its possible to have a system for only $20k? Are you sure??? | |

| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? He's coming from a Pro-Ject Tube Box DS. Could throw a dart, anything within range guaranteed to be a skin-tingling revelatory experience. Hard to go wrong with any phono stage at this level. Ought to make him very happy indeed. | |
| Is there any equipment that can do this? My system so accurately reproduces the audience I had to ask one lady with a cough to cover it with a mask or go home. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions Not for under $600. You might find a used ARC PH3-SE for a little more that would fit the bill.But my preferred approach has always been a little different. Rather than shop for a component that fits my budget I try and shop for the components tha... | |
| Directionality, Fuses, Demagnetizing, Warm-up: Tweaks Matter! Stereophile has had a number of articles and even series of articles related to this over the years. Its a fascinating subject. Its attractively simple to put it down to hearing damage. An awful lot musicians do have hearing loss from all the high... |
