Popping noises
Thanks again for all the replies. Today, I checked the bias and re-seated all the tubes. The bias was fine and there were no more popping sounds-- the amp sounded absolutely beautiful again..:0)After a couple of hours listening, I know again why I... 
Popping noises
Thanks to all for the suggestions. I will re-check the bias, although on my ARC amp this is a real chore...:0(The driver tubes, as well as the power tubes, are all fairly new with less than 50 hours on all of them. What I am wandering is if my JJ ... 
Popping noises
Seems to happen during warm up only. After I took the amp off idle and played various pieces it seemed ok. 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Malwow1, are you still using Mac gear?BTW, agree with you that the E's produce more bass...don't agree with the soundstage and imaging comment....YMMVI'm sure the GH's will go to someone who appreciates them..:0)

Gruv Glide
Not sure of that G_m_c. However, i have never had a problem with any vinyl that has been treated with GG and this is over a period of about 15 years that i have used the stuff.The propellant in the can does go south after some amount of time, I ha... 
Gruv Glide
Theo, from the sounds of it, you would be better off putting it in the trashwhere it now belongs. Seriously, I have thrown several cans of GG away in the past, they do have a shelf life. 
Gruv Glide

Gruv Glide
Theo, Your Gruv Glide came in a Box??? It was like Talcom powder...my, oh my, I think somebody sure sold you on something, but it sure wasn't Gruv Glide:0) 
Gruv Glide
Sorry to disagree, but I like the Gruv Glide treatment. IMO, it does NOT gum up the grooves. Not sure if and how G_m_c used the Gruv Glide, but if you follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply to the supplied pads; then in my experience it ...

Pinkus, open your eyes and maybe more importantly...your ears. 
New 2011 Sonus Faber Speakers?
Level8skier, let's hope that SF decides NOT to cheapen out again and this time brings a great speaker to market in the Guarneri Futura..:0)I too am very curious. 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Oops, meant to say would NOT trade bass for the greater transparency and truth to source that the GH's bring to the table.BTW, it is not that difficult to add bass to the GH's if needed. Any good sub would do..:0) OTOH, adding greater transparency... 
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
Eddie, I think what you were trying to say was that the Extrema's have a great soundstage, perfect depth and solid bass but are not as transparent as the GH's. This would be my opinion as well, although I wouldn't say that the GH's have no bass wh...
