Sumiko tonearm rewire
Hi, wonder if I will need the flux, never solded wires these thin, or the using the Mundorf I wouldn't need that? They say the wire does contain the flux but I wonder if I's better to apply some of that? I am curious to know if there are any drawb...

best bass or close to that 12AX7 tube
Thanks folks, I guess you are exactly right - buy and listen!And that's fine. I read through a lot of posts here and quite a few of them state different tubes behavior. To the point about the RCA - actually one seller did state the same about the ... 
best bass or close to that 12AX7 tube

Sumiko tonearm rewire
Wow! Never imagined the coating must be removed from litz wires. Please forgive my ignorance - why? OI thought the idea of litz strands was to minimize the 'skin' effect, but if coating taken off you got one thicker conductor? Or the flow will sti...

weights on Sumiko MDC800 versus MMT,FT3
Thank you, Nandric, the arm on MDC800 is 10.5 mm as my micrometer shows, the answer about that I got from someone selling FT3 on ebay was 'about 12-13 mm'. On the good side it is not less, but it doesn't look like they are interchangable as is. Re...

I am set on all but speakers, need advice on those
Thanks, folks, I think I have a much better starting point right now with your feedback. Looks like I will need to backup a little and do some more legwork and do the same I did with pre-amp and amp - bring another pair of speakers to my place and... 
I am set on all but speakers, need advice on those
Thank you all, folks.To Manitunc - you are correct, I did look at Liuto. Though while I was looking through posts here I saw a couple stating that the GPH being an older issue somehow had more sweetness to it then the new ones like Liuto. Have not...
