| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Number one huckster! | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? In the late 50’s my dad and I built a mono system, I think is was Heathkit. Then we graduated to stereo with a Knightkit 20wpc amp and a Knightkit AM/FM tuner with a Garrard changer. He built the speaker cabints and used a tri-axial driver. It sou... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Rogue is a poor example of an amplifier. I have little ATCs that Rogue couldn't drive comfortably. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? I use the Vinyl Stack, the E bay US cleaner and the formulas and techniques described by Rushton Paul on this forum. I rinse twice and dry with a VPI Cyclone. I thought that my records were clean until I started using the US. On older used records... | |
| What's up with Soundstage Direct? Also, everyone is recommending other shops. Try Elusive Disc. They ship immediately, have the same pricing structure with coupons. I'm very satisfied with their service and selection. They stock Speakers Corner, no waiting for German shipment like... | |
| What's up with Soundstage Direct? I stopped doing business there after my third "take forever and call Seth several times" order. In my experience it started during Christmas. Bad timing. I waited a month and finally got the order when I threatened Seth with a bad Google review. H... | |
| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO Sorry, I meant Dialogue Premium HP. +1 on the EL34s, they do a terrific job. Though I have yet to use my set of KT150s. And, it's so easy to switch back and forth between tubes. Change a tube and it auto biases.Triode and Ultralinear switching wit... | |

| WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl ! Try Formula 420. It comes in a mix for plastics. Its sold for cleaning smoking paraphenalia, but I'm sure it does a great job on records. They also have one for metal and glass if you're into that kind of stuff. | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I use the VPI Periphery Ring on every play. It does what it's supposed to do. It stabilizes the image, lowered the bass floor as well as helping to deal with warps. I've used the screw on clamp with the grommet under the record. It can cause the r... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers - 1 on Rogue Audio. My experience is the exact opposite of lradder. They were not very helpful and their Stereo 100 is an overpriced boat anchor. Their dealer Wolfsong audio is a poor excuse for an audio dealer, or I should say wheeler-dealer.Con... |
