PSU's for an Acoustic Revive RR-888 (or RR-777or RR-77)?
If anyone is still reading this thread, I hope you can give some advice. I'm thinking about buying an external PSU such as the Kingsrex or other, but need to know the size of the dc plug input. In a thread on another site, someone wrote inner diam... 
Subwoofer speaker outputs to increase efficiency
Well, what a coincidence. The fellow on the thread who raves about the sound with 300b is also using the Cary and also using the exact same tube complement as I am.  
Subwoofer speaker outputs to increase efficiency
The amp is the Cary 300b. It has no pre-out. The speakers are Opera monitors from 2006. They have dual posts, so I guess you could bi-amp each one.  
Subwoofer speaker outputs to increase efficiency
Yep. You're telling me the truth that I don't want to face. I need to change either the amp or the speakers. I don't want to get away from 300b, but I'm also sad to sell my favorite speakers or relegate them to the closet. The best solution is Car...

Frank, truer words have never been spoken. We audiophiles are indeed a strange lot. I've read about the VCR eraser method. Seems like a good idea. You mean the high-powered one that looks like a small anvil? Or you mean the wand type?I'm mad curio...

geoffkait, thanks for the link. I like how the writer doesn't really pick a winner. Actually I'm unaware of some of the treatments he describes. His Ultrabits are the previous formulas, not the Diamond Plus, but there probably isn't much differenc...

gdnrbob, thank you so much for offering me your demagnetizer to sample. I just sent you a private message.

Actually there were not 50 discs, but 150. Long day.I left four discs that had received only the Ultrabit and four discs that had received only the Shine-ola. Listening last night, I think the Ultrabit treatment might be mellowing over time. It do...

In fact, I've been thinking about getting a demagnetizer, such as the HiFi Tuning or Furutech. I've experimented enough with various tweaks to know that they do provide a benefit. But I wish I could hear the demagnetizer, considering the cost. And...

After I began using Optrix, I couldn't listen without it. Even my grunge sounded grungy. When Optrix was discontinued, I switched to Shine-ola, which I found to be much better. More analog, more vibrant. So I decided to try the Ultrabit, which is ...

Sounds like good stuff. Who knew? I'll stick with Dawn. Today's the day. I'll need more distilled water.

Dawn is better for this purpose than a different brand? I was going to use some biodegradable stuff from Costco.

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Ha ha, no, I was just joking about the unlimited warranty. But I'm glad to know about the two years. But unfortunately I'm not versed enough to know about emissions and the likelihood of emissions failing within six months. I assume that the probl... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Hi Charles1dad: thanks for your advice. I presume that you are happy with your replacement tubes, after the long ordeal? I've been swinging this way and that. I was excited about the Takats for so long, then got caught up in the hype about the Elr...
