Craig,I'm sure glad to read of your return to posting in this thread. I have missed your seasoned tube knowledge during the time I was making my move into a Supratek, after trying a few others. But, what I really missed most is your clever wit. Ev...

J.D., As usual thanks for your words. I can post my address here if you wish. It's already in this thread somewhere. Just to clarify what I'd like Barb to call on is just phone help, walking her through properly boxing stuff or hooking it back up....

Raul,Back at you. You seem to totally ignore the fact that I've never said the ZYX UNIverse, or for that matter, the ZYX line is the best. Never. Hell, I would be foolish to post such a remark because I simply haven't heard all of the offerings. I...

Gmorris,I think most of us get careless with the use of words like best sometimes. I can't believe that anyone has enough experience to pronounce what is the best cartridge. There are just too many possible combinations with tonearms. And the cost... 
Bach Here Beatles There X-Box, Too PUHLEEZE.
Based on your previous post about this I assume your friend is well heeled. You must admit the room is a little over the top. A hint is that you've given no budget to consider. A couple of things you really should consider is that a quality manufa...

Gmorris,You do have a way with words.

Smokester,Very good question. I have a list of near range needs I know she'll have but for the most part I can't imagine this group being able to help. If the roles were reversed I could (and would) request my friends come over occasionally to coo... 
A couple of good cheap tweaks
Cdc,Sorry. I'm pretty sure that this thread was posted prior to the one you are referring to. I can no longer find the other one but it was up a couple of days ago. It's a good thread too and a shame if it got deleted somehow. 
A couple of good cheap tweaks
Geoffgarcia,I don't know the best height for lifting cables off the floor. You simply need to get air between the cable and the carpet. A couple of inches should do it. Yes, interconnects and power cords should have the same treatment but I doubt ... 
Linn Components
You guys that are members of an audio club really need to borrow a couple of tube preamps to try with an otherwise all Linn system. The increase in speed, clarity, dynamics and resolution is stunning with even a mediocre line stage tube preamp. Th...

Faithful friends,I just woke up from my best sleep time of the day. It's 10 pm and I laid down about 6 or so to nod off. With the sun setting as early as it does now I don't have a clue about what time of day it is when I awake except if the tv is... 
Interconnect set-up from pre to 2 mono-blocks?
Unless I'm missing something here...if you are using true monoblocks then there will be only one input per amplifier. If you are talking about a stereo-bridged to mono amp then you would need to refer to the owners manual or simply try it each pos...

I just have to get us off post #666. I feel better now that I've done it.Thanks for the kind words too. Brian, I have to admit to offering up a chuckle or two every time I remember your story about home delivery of audio products. I enjoyed my tim...

Hi guys,Well, the chemo is over. I must admit that I'm relieved to be at this point. This isn't giving up. Please remember that. The doc says I've got somewhere around six to eight weeks on average and until I get to feeling bad enough I'll still ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Does anyone have a pair of used (broken in), quiet EH6SN7's they would be willing to sell me? I'd prefer not to have to wait for a long break in.Also, has anyone used EL34's in the regulator position in a Syrah? And, if so, what was your opinion?T...
