| 12AT7 tubes Two of the best tubes are Mullard M8162 gold pin which is a military version of the Mullard 12AT7. Also the standard Telefunken 12AT7 and the long life 10 K hour Telefunken 801S. The 801S is very expensive, the Mullard is available in matched pair... | |
| PAD Venustas Tony, Those that were specific preferred Venustas tonal balance, no mention of resolution or imaging differences. Venustas supposedly delivered better bass, or perhaps "more" bass in relationship to the level of the midrange and highs. I believe o... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl Im too lazy to adjust for every LP and I am certainly a dedicated analog guy. When Lloyd Walker was here he fussed at me and wanted to show me how "easy" it was to adjust for each thickness.I told him that once I finished dinner and two beers or ... | |
| CDP to replace vinyl I agree with Herman, you won't get better sound than your vinyl, but perhaps your life will be simpler. For my taste, I like the (tube) Audio Note DAC's, as they're easy on the ear. Perhaps you could buy one used here at Audiogon, drive it with a ... | |

| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Whart, it was supposed to ship the 13th, four days ago. The dealer was busy and took longer to get the original boxes and pack it up.I hope the Kuzma and the new Koetsu Jade Platinum both show up this coming week. Assuming the new Koetsu Jade and ... | |
| Telefunken E188CC Sound Talk about a fool, I recently paid $235.00 plus shipping for a used LP that won't even fit into a tube socket :^). | |
| Scanning LPs ? Music bosses have unveiled a revolutionary new recording format that they hope will help win the war on illegal file sharing which is thought to be costing the industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.Nicknamed the "Record," the new format tak... | |
| I love this hobby- I think we should spend most of our money on tennis balls and rackets. | |
| Audio Museum...what would you want? I want to live long enough that my current equipment qualifies as museum pieces. Secondly, I want to be healthy and alert enough to still listen to it :^). | |
| No one cares this is the anniversary? I spent the day with my Uncle Ernest Huber, veteran of World War II. He is 93 years old and has a respirator to help him breathe part of the time. He is confined to a wheel chair mostly, but gets up and pushes it around to get where he wants to go... | |
