| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s Rodmann99999Many thanks for your response.The 6550s are due for replacement. Nearly 3+ years. Not sure how many hrs but I guess it would be close to 3000 hrs. I prefer a cleaner sound to a warm, mushy "tubey" sound. CheersPradeep | |

| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? VanceThanks. I had to replace a 6550 on my CJ LP 70S , power amp,a few years back and found online prices to be way cheaper. CJ doesn't manufacture the tubes and the mark up by the CJ dealer was absurd.I have a pair of 6H30 on order and will swap ... | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? VhinerMany thanks. What's the best source for the 6H30 tube? Did you buy from CJ or online ? I think my tubes are fine for now but not sure for how long.CheersPradeep | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Hi VhinerAm curious about your comment that CJ service recommends changing the tubes in a CT5 after 1500 hrs. My CT 5 is 5+ yrs old with 3000+ hrs with the original tubes and it sounds sublime !Am I missing something ? CheersPradeep | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 I am revisiting this thread to retract some inelegant words I used to describe the reissue WYWH lp. With a Hydra Triton( still breaking in with less than 40 hrs on it) replacing a Hydra VRay power conditioner, the Pink Floyd album is ,IMHO quite a... | |

| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? Hi AlexAs a recent owner of the Atlas ...my 2 bits. The Atlas is everything you may have read and still better. However, the prices you mention in USD terms are a wee bit stratospheric. I know it's not in your initial short list but a Titan I is a... | |

| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 DgadAm grateful to you and Dev for highlighting the sonic virtues of the BN PSU/motor upgrade.You were spot on regarding a quieter background. In a sense it reminds me of my battery driven Sutherland Phd which i had years ago. I suspect if the mai... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 I don't know how I ended up making the same post twice! Sorry.MikeWe may have a common friend/ acquaintance who shuttles between Singapore and Seattle and helped me with the Atlas. Small world!The Atlas continues to mesmerise ....Happy days are he... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 MikeYou are obviously right about the Telos. My intent was not to belittle a great arm, but a narrow and somewhat theoretical curiosity :if this is soo good,can it /does it get any better than this? Fortunately I may never find out as I don't have... | |

| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 ActusreusIt's not even close to 20k, way below thanks to a competitive trade in package in Singapore .Thankfully , I don't believe that more $$ equals better sound.Now for that crappy bit.

| TW Acustic 10.5 and Graham Phantom Supreme II Kdl, the TW arm board for the Triplanar works with the the Talea as 2 of the mounting holes coincide. However, I am using a wooden arm board . Incidentally, the Talea is one of the easier tone arms to mount with the supplied PS distance tool. Mine... |
