| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Some manual bias amps have enough range on the bias pot that they can use KT88 and KT66. A good example is an amp like the Quicksilver Mid Mono it can use EL34, KT - 66 , 77, 88, 6l6 and a few other EL 34 / 6L6 variants. Always check with m... | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought First analog gear.? G.E. Wildcat turntable circa 1975. Best Analog , SOTA Escape / Origin Live Silver / Ortofon 2m Bronze. Last analog piece was the excellent sounding Sutherland KC Vibe. | |
| Decware and “The List” Decware is saying 20 months? How is that possible ? They built around 650 last year , half were UFO84 which are no where near as labor intensive as Torii , 300b , etc. Do the math, over 2100 backorders, divided by 650 = approximately 3.25 y... | |
| Decware and “The List” I wouldn't offer more than $3500 even if sealed , warranty transfer is costly with the mandatory purchase of new tubes I just don't see the value in buying a used Decware. Part of its allure is the Lifetime Warranty. To obtain a warranty tran... | |
| have a pair of Tekton Perfect Set 15s but need a lighter speaker Any speaker that is as sensitive as the Tektons won't be much smaller. If you like their sound , get some of those heavy duty furniture slider pucks. Put one under each corner. | |
| Dummy Speaker Load I should add that its best to use a mono source , maybe interstation noise on an FM tuner with the switch on my tuner set to mono. | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? My guess was TMR because they lost like $750 on something I traded in. Some things just don't bring the money that they are expected to. Naim is good stuff, gotta wonder how they lost on that transaction. | |
| Dummy Speaker Load Or you can try this. https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Non-Inductive-Dummy-Resistor/dp/B0002KRDGC | |
| Dummy Speaker Load Something easier you can do if the speakers are easy to move is this. Reverse the plus and minus speaker leads on one speaker. Put the speakers face to face. Close to each other. Now when you turn up the volume the volume should be a lot low... | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? Yes, genius ! Too bad that didn't happen every time we have sellers remorse . I am guessing it was The Music Room.... people gripe about their pricing. Sometimes they hit it out of the park, but sometimes they lose. You won this time. ... | |
| New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier. I bet it's good. Aurender makes excellent gear. | |

| Recommendations for a vacum tube tester Enjoy ! It's fun testing tubes , you will know who has sold you premium tubes and you'll know who has screwed you I just went through a bunch of e180f driver tubes for my amp. That tester allowed me to sort out the best of the NOS ones I had... | |
| Recommendations for a vacum tube tester The 600A is a good unit for home use. You can order "bogey" tubes from Brent Jessee. They have preamp bogey tubes and power bogey tubes. The word "Bogey" is basically a perfect of a 6l6 . Likewise with a bogey preamp tube, which is a 12v... | |
