| treasure kt 88 vs vintage tung Sol 6550 "The treasures are not as clean sounding, but considering what is available today, they may be the closest to NOS." No- regarding what's being manufactured today, the closest to the original Tung-Sol, is the EAT KT-88. Nothing else comes close, ... | |

| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? "Yes for the better nearly every time, it’s called evolving." What good is, "for the better", if the, "evolving" SS transistors are so hard to locate and OEM replacement parts are virtual unobtainium(the OP’s and my point)? The crappy, new product... | |
| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? That’s another reason I prefer tubed equipment over SS. Both types of gain devices wear out/go bad, but tube designations and availability have historically been far more consistent than the ever-changing and constantly obsolesced plethora of sand... | |
| Creating space between interconnects & keeping cables off the floor Actually, there's nothing wrong with crossing cables. Problems can arise when when cables are run parallel and electromagnetically induce currents in each other(http://cas.umkc.edu/physics/wrobel/phy250/lecture6.pdf). Distance is your friend, in... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I'll bet some of you REALLY miss your messiah, Julian Hirsch. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? When I had my shoppe in Florida(early 80's), I upgraded a few DQ-10 crossovers, replaced the Motorola Piezos with JVC ribbon tweeters and mirror imaged the customers' pairs. Talk about sweet performers(for their time)! | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKII Having owned both the SP-9 mkII & SP-14, I have to agree with oregonpapa. Both were good performers, when equipped with the Siemens, early 60's, grey shield, CCa, but- the 14 did have better presentation than the 9. I handed my 14 down to... | |
| Synergistic dealer? The Cable Company. Can’t beat their customer service! Of course, there may be an amount of bias on my part. I’ve done enough business with them, I now get a substantial(Frequent Flier) discount. (http://www.thecableco.com) | |
| Does it ever bother you "Only when condensation creeps in does it get a bit old." Yeah, I just hate it when conversations get drippy. | |

| Technical question on phase inversion. If the issue is really bothering you, buy a copy of the 'CHESKY RECORDSJAZZ SamplerandAudiophile Test Compact DiscVOLUME 1'. It includes a few Absolute Polarity tests, to enable you to see if you can detect the difference(s) with phase inverted,... | |
| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? A couple years back, I needed Toshiba MOS-FETs to repair a Hafler 9505. Bought a bunch of them from an eBay seller in Israel. Brand new, perfect and in the original packaging. One must know how to shop, on the Bay. This is the guy's store: h... | |
| Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp? The Irrational, But Efficacious CD has Pink, White, Brown, Mono Brown and out-of-phase Brown Noise tracks. I’ve used it a number of times(with a $50.00 CD/DVD player), to put hours on things. I just set those tracks to repeat and let it roll. http... |
