| Dodd PreAmp batteries not charging I am having a problem with my Dodd preamp. When I set the selector to Bat2 it works fine. When I turn the selector to Bat1, it does not work. The batteries all test about 13.7 volts. I've checked all of the connections and they seem fine. Any hel... | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? I have a pair of 1977 Klipsch Cornwall speakers with the Bob Crites cornscalla midrange horns. Prior to adding the corscalla midrange horns, I drove the Cornwalls with a Cary preamp and a pair of Cary SET 8 WPC amplifiers. This had a very nice sou... | |
| Tubes for Cal Audio Labs Alpha Processor I've got a Cal Audio Alpha and also like the GE 5751 tubes. I tried some Sovtek 12AX7LPS tubes several years ago. They sounded good but as soon as I turned the dac off and powered it up the next day, the left tube went dead. I tried another Sovtek... | |

| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp I have the Supratek Sauvignon preamp. I currently am using a Mullard GZ34 as the rectifer tube. Does anyone know if I can substitute a 5Y3GT for the GZ34. Also, is the 5Y3GT the same tube as the 6106? I like the sound of this preamp with RCA 6L6GC... | |
