| Recs for Tubes & tweaks for HH Scott separates Something else to be considered, given the advanced age of your components, if it hasn’t already been addressed. The higher the power supply impedance, the worse the peak compression and bass performance. The older/dryer the electrolytic caps, the... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @grannyring(et al) - As I posted earlier: (I believe Ivor Tiefenbrun(Linn founder) said something along the lines of, " if you haven’t heard it, you have no opinion". That just makes sense, which(to some around here) seems irrelevant.) It escapes ... | |
| Wife trouble My wife and I FINALLY agreed, that we were actually seeking the exact same thing. Someone else. | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? Also of note, just like the various CCa iterations(ie: late 50’s-early 60’s, Siemens CCa with grey shield and external date code vs later silver shield, w/internal date), there are less desirable(not quite as wonderful) 6N23Ps out there. For insta... | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? You only mention trying one vinyl and one CD. If that’s the case, you haven’t, "A/B’ed" your Phono and Line circuits, or cartridge. Only the two recordings and the levels at which they were recorded. You’ll probably find that you own some CDs of l... | |

| Quad ESL 63- how should it sound? Any electrostatic will be considerably less efficient than anything Klipsch makes. Here’s an article that may help you understand the Quad 63’s design & goals: (http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/416/#5kwtFIj3KAYUQVpO.97) If some of ... | |
| Capacitor rolling. The 25% off of film/electrolytic caps sale that Parts Connexion is running, may be of interest for some: (http://www.partsconnexion.com/capacitor_ele_all.html?utm_source=getresponse&utm_medium=email&...) Then there are some that were, "sli... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Your welcome, Kalali. Good procedure, getting accustomed to them(or any other component) stock, before tweaking. If you can solder: bypassing the attenuator circuit just takes one connection per side, eliminates the two lousy screw terminals, is e... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @Kalali- One of the most popular, simple tweaks, for Maggies, is(or, at least, was) bypassing the fuse altogether. Easy to do, by unscrewing the fuse/input plate and soldering both wires, going to the fuse holder, to one post. Of course, then you ... | |
| XLR interconnects (https://www.presonus.com/news/articles/balanced-unbalanced) Some fully balanced devices(like my BAT VK-D5) will output twice the voltage with their balanced connection, and will also vary impedances, which may sound much different than their sing... | |
