great headphone amplification in vintage gear?
I second (third?) the Nakamichi. In my case I am using the 630 Tuner-Preamp with Beyerdynamics 880's. 
Best vintage Marantz for turntable use
Actually the original Model 7 or the 7T would be perfect for phono. It even has different phono de-emphasis curves for differently cut vintage vinyls (and shellac, for that matter.Salut, Bob P. 
is one ear usually stronger?
B Limo, when I tried your trick, I saw two circles and therefore couldn't decide what circle to use! But depending on what circle I did use, the rest of the trick worked.Perhaps this is due to my being ambi-dextrous!Salut, Bob P. 
Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP
Whether the air is 'forced' across the tubes or 'drawn' across the tubes makes no differnce since it is the temperature of the air that makes the difference and it is the same in both cases.At any rate, if you can't hearthe fan then the amount of ... 
how make your speker faster
Thanks Al, I guess all that process control math (Laplace transforms etc.) has conditioned me (I have a Chemical Engineering degree)to only think in the frequency domain. :)Salut, Bob P. 
how make your speker faster
Almarg, isn't that a common misconception of what a square wave is? - 'A square wave is just a series of alternating positive and negative steps, with some amount of time between them.'I always thought that a square wave was actually a sine wave w... 
McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation
Bondmanp, Objectivists are not saying that subjectivists are wrong in their perceptions, but that they are wrong in claiming that there is a real difference in sound, when indeed there isn't a difference. BTW, Objectivists can tell the difference ... 
McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation
Actually, Oldcar63, unless you can prove that there was indeed a shooting star there when you saw it, your wife (and we) can't really know if there was really a shooting star. The only thing that we know is that YOU Believe that there was a shooti... 
McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation
Notbananas, I guess you have never heard the expression 'perception is reality'. Logic and common sense will never work with those who perceive to hear (see) a difference.Salut, Bob P. 
Please Recommend a Cartridge for a Thorens TD-145
If you can get a 681EEE, that is the one to get. I ran it on my TD-150 with the TP 16 arm and it was great. 
How do we remember 1970s amplifiers?
Siliab, I am still running the 630,620, 600 Nakamichis. Bought them in 1977 and using Totem Mani's as speakers and Oracle Alexandria MKIII with B&O EN20 cartridge.All sound great in my room, still!Salut, Bob P.

Audiofeil, you forgot the Rankin scale!Salut, Bob P. 
"The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are
AlMarg, to answer your question as to what the final difference in temperature at the device we wish to cool, would be by using the HP in addition to the original cooling devices, I would hazard to say that there would be NO difference since the m... 
Phono-pre: subsonic filter on or off ?
No Dan_ed, I am not a marathoner, but, ironically, my breathing training for playing brass instruments (french horn and trumpet) has helped me in lowering my heart beat rate. Salut, Bob P. 
"The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are
GS has it correct. The prime driver of heat is temperature difference. No delta T, no heat loss nor gain, regardless of the shape, size or material of the conductors.The heat pipes are just a better heat transfer medium, but they won't work if the...
