| Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy @melm- If you owned an AV Designhaus Derenville VPM 2010-1(about $650K) with(say) an Air-Tight Opus 1 or Koetsu Coralstone Platinum($14-15K ea) mounted, you wouldn’t be asking that. Some of, "we"(though: not me) have that kind of scratch, for lab-... | |
| The Presslift @bimasta- Thanks for the repair tip. | |
| The Presslift When I become too maladroit to manage manipulating my VPI’s record clamp(without wrecking my recordings) and/or can’t reliably remember to reset my Raiser, it’ll be time to train someone else to spin vinyl for me. In my particular case, acoustic f... | |

| Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ? "Do your amps use one or two 6SN7 tubes ? I am confused about that" As I stated: I’ve been using 1940s, Tung-Sol(round plate/JAN CTL/VT-231) and Sylvania (6SN7W/JAN CHS/tall bottle/metal base) tubes, in my monoblocks for a couple decades(one each ... | |
| Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business My last octet of NOS GE 6550As came from TC Tubes. When one finally went South(after a couple years), they managed to find one, in their inventory of too-weak-to-sell-NOS, that matched my seven well-worn, and gave it to me. Didn't even charge m... |
