| Tube Fire What Next? Atmosphere and millercarbon, thanks for walking me through this. Now I have a choice do I replace the 1 tubestore preferred series el 34 or try something new. Previously it was recommended to me that I try the Mesa boogie NOS el34 but at around $4... | |
| Tube Fire What Next? Thanks everyone. Millercarbon my melody has the same set-up so thanks for pointing that out. Just to be crystal clear when I bias the amp the amp should be plugged in and turned on, correct?Noromance, thanks for that comment. in the future I will ... | |
| Zu + what DAC =Musical Happiness. verdantaudio thanks for the information. When I am ready I might have to take you up on that offer! | |

| Sudden problem with turntable unfortunately no. I have been swamped at work. Hoping to try over break to fix myself, re-oil bearing, set-up cartridge etc...if that doesn't work I will take it to audio element in pasadena and see what they have to say. I think it would be a goo... | |
| Sudden problem with turntable Yup, input for DAC sounds fine. | |
