| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @hilde4535:30, "You're going to have to spend more $$$ to get great analog". But @ 34:25 he says that in the tests done most all liked analog better. This has been my experience also. The analog chain consists of the turntable, arm, cartridge &... | |
| Question on Chinese Tubes Shuguang KT-88-T (Nature series) @facten Thanks . This is the kind of reports I have seen spread across the internet BB's. Great tubes with little reliability.
