| Vinyl experts, I need your advice. TNT6, ETII,Benz Drag on the spindle is exactly what happens. There is simply less air pressure inside the manifold. I started to notice a subtle but increasing deterioration in the sound, grain and overall lack of the smoothness and refinement that the ET is so c... | |
| Vinyl experts, I need your advice. TNT6, ETII,Benz All of the above are a possibility AND/OR the capillaries that pass the the air in the bearing housing may be getting clogged. I experienced what you describe and the problem was clogged capillaries. A bit time consuming to clean them, but not too... | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes Dewinkle, here's a different approach:You want to get a taste of what tubes can do, you're on a budget, and you want to be able to easily sell the piece of equipment should you decide to not keep it. Additionally, I have to assume that your ML pre... | |
| Why I love analog, part II Congratulations on a wonderful experience. As much as I love having a fine audio system, I too sometimes find that when we don't have all the trappings and expectations of our fancy electronics, we are somehow able to connect with the musical mess... | |

Hi folks,I have been following this thread for a few days and would like to make a couple of observations that I THINK have not been covered.The superiority of the LP medium as concerns the expression of musicality is, to my ears, clearly superior... | |

| Stax ED-1 Equalizer. Comments? Thanks for the comments guys. I am looking for one, if you happen to know of one for sale. What would you say is a good price for a used unit in good shape? Also, aside from the spatial improvements, is there any obvious hardening of the sound? I ... | |

| Higher end Tubes for Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Tried the Amperex "Bugleboy" 6ES8's in the Ah! last night. No, they did not sound as bad as they did in my pre as a 6dj8 substitute, but they sounded strangely dark and, ominously, they ran VERY hot. Nothing blew up, but they were almost too hot t... | |
| Higher end Tubes for Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 ClydegThanks for the clarification. Maybe I'll try those Bugleboy's in the Ah!, and see. Interestingly, the Melos's manual recommends the 6ES8 "for more gain"; go figure. They did sound awful. Regardless, my point to Douglas was simply that in my ... | |
| Higher end Tubes for Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Hi DouglasI very recently bought a used 4000. Amazingly good for the money, but when I first turned it on (Stax SRM-T1S/Lambda Sig's only set-up), I was dismayed at how mediocre it sounded. I quickly replaced the Sovtek 6922's with the Phillips 73... | |
| The Magic of Brazilian Music No mention of Elis Regina?!! The greatest!! She had the sophistication of many of the current crop of singers, combined with a directness and, at times, grittiness reminescent of, if you can believe it, Janis Joplin. Check her out!By the way, if y... | |
