| Hybrid Preamp Service Needed @dweller - assuming you mean TAD Dealer - there are none. The TAD (Tube Audio Design) were designed/built/sold by one guy - although he outsourced much of the mfg to Asia. He died and the company no longer exists. @rapid My suspicion is any ... | |
| Tube Audio Design TAD150 Signature Preamplifier Servicing @nogaps that's a different animal. My remote had a glitch once where it wasn't working, but it self corrected.

I use to go to a guy in N Virginia (Bill Thalmann at Music Technology) and he could repair and optimize anything. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. Much of his bus was shipped in to him. I to... | |

| Benz Micro Glider - Rebuild, Trade-in, or? @elliottbnewcombjr btw, it has just been mentioned, do NOT try to measure a LOMC coil's resistance with a multi-meter, it can damage/destroy the coil. It's a good thing you posted this . . . I was going to get my meter out next. I'm 99% sure... | |
| Notice That There Are Not Many Survivors of the MC from the early 19080's or so? ok, this has turned into my favorite discussion thread . . . | |

The first time I noticed this was listening to a Dead Can Dance CD (I don't recall which, or which song) and there's a whip cracking that happens behind you. It freaked me out! This is on a ... | |
| Notice That There Are Not Many Survivors of the MC from the early 19080's or so? @elliottbnewcombjr yea, I thought that may be the case, but I dont have the energy to dismount it yet, so long as it's working. One of these days it will be time for a cartridge swap. thanks | |
| Notice That There Are Not Many Survivors of the MC from the early 19080's or so? I have an Adcom cartridge that came on a table I bought some time ago. I believe it’s a MC but there are no identifying marks on it. I play it through my Musical Fidelity Phone pre set to MC and it sounds wonderful. it looks like the one in the l... | |

| Anat Cohen - anyone else? thanks @petaluman - spell check strikes again and I didn't notice. I did spell it correctly in the original post. Also thanks for the history. I listened to 3 Cohens "Lost and Found" last night. Great album, and the hi res is amazing. | |
| Anat Cohen - anyone else? @viridian and @tomic601 I'm not sure how I landed with Chiaroscuro as my first buy, but I play it a lot and have not been able to move on to the dozen and a half other albums on Qobuz yet . . . will have to do that, and check out her siblings t... | |
