| Caps and Tubes Wonder Caps were used in some stock ARC preamps in late 80’s early 90’s.They are not replacements but original. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? What if the Nazi’s won World War Two? | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. If you have no Lp's now, why go into analog, the learning curve is very slow.IMO just stick with digital. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? I have heard most of the pre Dragon Nak’s and prefer the Nak 600 MK II.Simple "focused field" head design that can not be beat. Response to 20kHz.The most warm and realistic Nak cassette deck IMO. | |
| AC Regenerator All AC regenerators have an amp inside that needs time to warm up before sounding great.I hate warm up sonic changes, and use Chang LightSpeed line filters, and never went back to a AC regenerator.The Chang sounds great with no coil voltage lag, o... | |
| Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 I have never heard of 3.6's delaminating.The adhesive was changed in June of 1987 on the IIIa and the issue put to bedBut if you put the Magnepan's in a sunny room, or play at over 100 dB all bets are off. | |

| Watts are watts? I powered my magnepan IIIa speakers with an Audio Research D125 (115 w/ch) tube amp for years with great results!They played clear and very loud. | |
| What speakers work well against a wall You will never get “great soundstage depth” with the speaker next to the wall. | |
| Tidal streaming and classical music Thanks for the search info tips.Titles are not that easy to find with the current interface.I am a new Tidal user. | |
| Tidal streaming and classical music @ahendler How about Mercury Living Presence, RCA Living Stereo, DECCA, Lyrita, RCA Red Seal, recordings etc.!All recordings on the TAS list or Arthur Salvatore’s list??? | |
| Speed accuracy- how accurate is accurate? Turntable speed accuracy need only be more accurate than the speed accuracy of the record mastering tape deck and cutting machine!More turntable accuracy then that does not matter in listening playback sound quality! | |
| Received your Magnepan 30.7’s Yet The critics that reviewed the 30.7 only listened for a few hours.Nobody has had a long term listen, at home, with their own equipment, outside of Magnepan.The 30.7 has to actually ship to owners, break in, and be reported on the internet.Independe... | |

| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? I use Chang LightSpeed power line filters and they work great! They have digital and analog AC connections.Found them used for $400 to $500 and use them on my main audio system and home theater.Also protect from lightning strikes. |
