| Instead 6GH8A will be possible ECF-82/6U8A 7199 is also functionally the same tube but with a different pin out. You would have to rewire the socket to accept 7199. That said, 7199 should be quieter due to the no-noize twisted filament. | |
| Help please with AC line voltage problems...... I'm not sure that these addess the under/over voltage problems. Monster makes a variac that self adjusts to line voltage, model 2000 or something. This would keep the voltage constant in the face of a variable incoming line. You could use it in co... | |
| Time machines I saw Gentle Giant warm up Tull at Madison Square Garden many moons ago, mid 70s to be sure. It was kind of the all flute night. Great band and an incredible stage show. | |
| What componant degrades the signal least/most? The 120 volt wall current that the amp must shape into a signal strong enough to drive the loudspeakers. | |
| Time machines Ten Years After, "Undead". I am back in that little British club, the amps are buzzing incessantly, the mikes are unbelievably peaky. The air smells of sweat, reefer and cheap beer. And there, in front of me, is the best bar band on planet earth. ... | |
| older LPs - different EQ? Some of the early eqs are really different than the RIAA eq and can sound pretty weird if some attempt is not made to get them into shape. The Hagerman Bugle can be ordered with any eq, but it is fixed, not variable, though only around $125.00. He... | |

| Tom Waits...anyone? Now what was the album that they did together called? | |
| Anti-skating problem It doesn't surprise me, as my post above indicates. Before working on room acoustics I would suggest walking around the right side of the room and putting your ear to all of the pictures on the walls, pottery, nicknaks, chairs, etc, while music is... | |
| Tom Waits...anyone? The obvious choice - though not so obvious that it has already been suggested - is "Anthology of Tom Waits" on Electra/Asylum. A nice chronicle of the early years, it's a great place to start. For high amusement factor try a soundtrack that he rec... | |
| What am I going to do with all of this junk? Oh, so embarassing, I used to own one. Nice iron in that baby. Have you tried cleaning it with a spray contact cleaner, Tun-O-Wash or the like? I don't have a volume pot, but perhaps the value is printed right on the back of the pot. I think that ... | |
| Anti-skating problem Does this happen with CD replay or just LP? | |
| Should I upgrade my SME 3009 III tonearm? The SME works better than the Rega with a number of cartridges in my estimation. The Shure and Grados being two of them. The best upgrade is to get one of the titanium nitride arm tubes. These sound much, much better than the aluminum tube. I also... | |
| Question about seperate tuners FM broadcast of a live performance is the only music that most of us have access to in our homes that is not subjected to any form of storage media. In contrast to compressed pop stations, a good live broadcast is a jaw dropper that can stand with... |
