Counterpoint vs Jolida
Thank you for the input. I once had a JD801 when Jolida first came out. I liked what it had to offer, but back then Jolida had quality control issues, and thing was literally falling apart on me. I have not read any problems in the last few years,... 
Sony CA9ES CD Player
Hmmm- One guy is at A+- the other at C. I guess it is the old saying " Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder " Consider 90% of the public can't even afford a $700 cd player. I guess at $50 though it is a steal!Thanks! 
schematically speaking
Well I have had some difficulty getting on this site. But it seems to be working now! Some vey good points brought up here. My greatest weakness is that I am a listener and, not a reader. Tell me and show me how to do it, and I got it. Give me a b... 
How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one
Hmmm. First question I would have asked-1. What are you listening to now?2. Do you like that type of sound?I have found that even if you go to Best Buy and A/B cheap receivers against each other. ( easy to do with their cheap wired all together de...

a little pre help please
Tpsonic, I'm not enamored with super tubes either. In then end I went with a Rogue 99. I have read from some that is a bit noisy, from others that it is quiet. I previously owned the 66 and found it slightly noisy. But other 6SN7 pre amps were not... 
a little pre help please
Well, don't have much NOS in the way of 12AX7 so I will skip the Klimo for now. I am not aware if the Audio Mirror will allow a 6922. I believe the 61N1 is close but not exactly the same. So far by browsing the Audio Mirror web page I see nothing ... 
a little pre help please
Rotarius,Well that covers the AES series nicely. Do you want to give up the AE-3 :) I notice no one is selling the MKii new or used at the moment so either way I am waiting..... Tpsonic,I would like to stay under $1000, $700 better still. I have b... 
Service my Belles
Going through thins in my mind, and wanting to clear the air..... Thought I would give one last note for the sake of clearing the good name of Dave Belles. We did get everything taken care of, in fact he serviced my pre for free. Now that is MOST ...

tube testing oddity
Tung-Sol 
tube testing oddity
Thanks for the advice but these are not NOS. I can buy new ones for $30 each. Just curious why a matched quad would exhibit such a pattern. I could see it if one of them was doing it, but all four at the same time? Very odd indeed.88 
The future of Tubes
Ok, sorry for stealing the thread, but this is kind of related. just got a quick question.....Don't want to get Tung-Sol lovers all hot and bothered. But I have a few NOS 6550 tubes laying around that I might unload. I see them still on ebay. Are ... 
6N3C-E Tube
Hey thanks for the response! But ummmm that bids me asking another question, or making a comment. I did manage the get hold of one person that sells current Sovtek 5881/6L6GC/WGC and asked him if his tubes were of the same construction as the 6N3C... 
The future of Tubes
Well if someone would possibly win a $500,000,000 lottery and then, approach New Sensor and pay them to manufacture something to NOS standards..... Funny thing though- I have been shopping for various 12v pre tubes, and 6SN7 tubes and have noticed...
