| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Agree with others concerning ss amps versus tube amps and the fact that no ss amp will sound like a tube amp. But for me Pass XA series is a wonderful alternative and without the tube maintenance issues. Although they do kick out a lot of heat bei... | |

| Need recommendations on phono amp upgrade I second the Herron VTPH-2. | |
| Ringing new NOS tube, is it safe? Some NOS tubes are sensitive to micro-phonics and tube dampeners can help. This does not mean the tubes are junk or defective. If you purchased them from a reputable dealer he/she will understand and should replace them. I am in agreement with Mul... | |
| VPI setup I agree the spin clean is sufficient. Do not go any higher on the tracking force IMO but certainly okay to stay at the higher end of the spec. Recheck azimuth and also make sure the arm is level(ships wheel adjustment) for rake angle. You may also... | |

| 6922's Replaced......It was time. Hi QuincyGlad you like them. I thought they were one of the better/best current production 6922 tubes. They are not inexpensive when compared to most current production 6922 tubes but certainly more affordable than most NOS tubes.Chuck | |
| 6922 tube selection Hi QuincyHope things are going well for you and your family. I would go with the Gold Lions as I have had experience with both brands of tubes you mention. The Gold Lions are smoother and more detailed with better extension at both frequency extre... | |
| Aesthetix vs. Allnic vs. ARC ph7 I also recommend the Herron; excellent piece indeed. I use NOS Tele's in all positions and they made a significant improvement in the transparency and detail of the unit.Chuck |
