Hi Rodman99999
In addition to the equipment referenced above, I have done some tube rolling and ended up with all 12AU7 Tungsram in the preamp,amp, and CDp. The signal tubes are Telefunken 12AX7 in the Pre and CDP and Bugleboy in the AMP. I replaced the power tubes with KT88 Gold Lions. I have tried several different types NOS and current production, and keep going back to the Gold Lions. After further research I may want to try the Psvane or Shuguang Treasures.
I have replace all power cords. Mostly all Acoustic Zen Tsunami II and a couple of PS Audio, and one Crystal Clear 6n silver from the wall to the Equitec son of Sam JR.
The equitec if for the front end only. I plug my amp and sub into a different line/outlet and unplug them when not in use. When I upgrade the house power wiring/outlets, I will probably get a regenerator or some sort of power conditioner at that time.
Since I get th emost enjoyment from my Rega P5 I think I will incorporate some upgrades here first. I have the upgraded subplatter and acrylic platter from groovetracer, and I am using a Lyra Dorian. The next ting I want to do is
position it on an isolation platform. I have some mapleshade
footers and iso blocks. I am trying to figure the best thickness to use to allow for the best drainage into the platform, but not so heavy that it would just reflect the vvibrations back to the turntable. I am goind to isolate the platform from the rack with mapleshade isoblocks.
I will get back to you as time permitts. Forward youre-mail tto fbflorey@frontier.com and I will send some photos
PS: all the things you mentioned to do including the rectifier tubes are on my list
Thnx
Brad
