| Koetsu Cartridge Question Kurt,Yes, I have noticed that 'used' Koetsu cartridges are for sale on Audiogon. I have and will buy again off Audiogon. I do not think I would ever purchase such a specialized device off of E-Bay. As far as the Benz is concerned....No I do not fe... | |
| Speakers you regret selling Hervel,I still have my original pair of JBL L65 speakers. I had the bass drivers re-coned several years ago. (foam rot got them) Other than that, they still sound great. Even have the original 'owners manual' and spec. sheet. The grill covers are ... | |
| Phono pre-amps: C-J EF-1 vs. EV-1 vs. Cary?? My recommendation is to purchase the EF-1. You may experience 'tube rush' in the EV-1. Phono stages are very sensative in this regard. Although the EV-1 is a fine unit, it is not a Premier 15. The EF-1 is left 'on' to keep the circuits hot and at ... | |
| Classic Records / Procol Harum Marakanetz,Ah yes, to have the originals is always desirable. But during my youth I had not the funds to purchase these classic records nor the quality equipment to listen to them. Now, in the Autumn of my years I can and do enjoy both. I am great... | |
| Classic Records / Procol Harum 4yanx,I have purchased many 'Classic Records' records directly from the company or other internet vendors. My 'defect' rate is about 25%, I am very particular....But rightfully so at 30.00 - 40.00 dollars a pop! (Most recent CSNY cost $40.00 + shi... | |
| Speakers Corner QC? I have purchased a lot of vinyl over the internet the last five years. And yes, I have had to send some back due to defects. I have had some severe defects which make me wonder if any human being is even in the manufacturing process loop. Yes, you... | |
| Do I 'Hafta' clean a brand new audiophile LP? Yes, Please clean, and I mean wash, all your records both old and new. The manufacturing process leaves pressing die release compounds on and in the the vinyl grooves. You can not see it with your naked eye, but under a microscope you would be hor... | |
| I need a Pre-Amp What should I get? I third the Conrad Johnson PV10B...Make sure it has a phone stage built in for your vinyl collection.Regards, | |
| What have I done to my Gyro bearing? Oh boy, now you've done it! Stop trying to run the table! If you have some spare Michell oil get it. If not go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy some Original Hunter Ceiling Fan oil. A tube will only set you back a few bucks, and this is excellent oi... | |
| Analog a dying breed I do not beleive that Analog is a dying breed. Reason?...I was visiting my daughter at Michigan State University a few weeks ago. I stopped into one of many record stores near the campus. Lots of used/new analog vinyl for sale. Guess what these yo... | |
| What is the best tweak? First best tweak is washing all your vinyl with a good quality cleaning system. Many excellent systems exist. For the budget minded, the Disc Doctor system with manually operated vacuum machine is outstanding. You won't beleive your ears!Second is... | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? Hey Chuck...I just retubed the Premier 11 over the Thanksgiving weekend..SED 6550C, EH 6FQ7 and GE-JAN 5751..Wow what a difference. I can't wait to plug in the gold pin EH 6922 pre-amp tubes that 'Santa' got me into my C-J 17LS! | |
| Mastercard New tubes for my pre-amp and amp! | |
| How to pick which brand of 6550 tubes to purchase I just retubed my Conrad-Johnson Premier 11A amp with the new Svetlanta (now a three letter logo) 6550 C tubes. Wow, what a difference over the stock GE's. The tubestore has them in stock, got a 'perfect quad', which means the tubes are all matche... | |
