Liquid Amps
Boniojo (sp) is now dead his last gasp ampzilla  had power supply issues if I recalll. Is the Co still around?  Serviceability is always a factor when dropping that kind of change on an amp.It’s like searching for something you can’t have.  Have y...

confused: which turntable cartridge used with Audible Illusions Modulus ?
You will not be disappointed with an AI Modulus.  I am very happy with my experience and the Clearaudio Virtuoso/Shibata.  At 3.2mv output I can't get the volume much past 12:00.  Unless this unit has the John Curl MC Gold boards then MC only.The ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Clearaudio Charisma V2.  Here is the first full review I have seen:http://clearaudio.de/_assets/_pdf/reviews/cartridges/charisma-v2_HiFi_Stars_34_en.pdf 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Friends, The Clearaudio Charisma MM, better than Virtuoso, Maestro?  Diamond encrusted Boron Cantelever is the same as Goldfinger.  Leave it to Clearaudio to outdo themselves.Newest Tonabnehmer-Systemen from Clearaudio:http://clearaudio.de/en/prod... 
If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy?

Thanks for you post Deepee99 or should I say Mr. Natural?  I find your bias refreshingly intriguing.  Is that CV-181s a drop in replacement for a 6SN7 tube?  If the big bastards fit I might just give them a listen.Agreed Raul: my ears are the "cor...

I’d be up a creek w/o the NOS Russian 6h23eb tubes for my Audible Illusions Modulus 3A Pre-Amp. Notoriously hard on tubes this preamp runs those tubes hard. New Electro Harmonix 6922 are reliable and long lasting they sound OK. I don’t waste my mo... 
Alphason HR-100S Arm
Braad8, not that big of a deal, just did this yesterday on a big SOTA and it is totally enclosed in a cabinet w a top.  Contrary to Fleib, adjusted cue height with arm on table in the cabinet!!!  Be brave.  Most definitely .035" for the cue height... 
Alphason HR-100S Arm
Hex (allen) .035" flat ended.  Don't plan on just going on down to Harbor Freight and picking up the right size.  British Arm I am pretty sure this is a British STandard size. Which is NOT American Standard or Metric.  WWW should fulfill your quest.. 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Agreed chrisr "Love is the drug" and releasing oxytocin is the key.  Tim Lawrence, the author of books including “Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-1979,” explained: “The D.J. didn’t mix or perform tricks on the e... 
Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp?
I agree with everything bpoletti references above. If it is a "tubey" sound that you are looking for you can’t really take the amp out of the picture. With that in mind a musical signal driven by a KT88 valve can give most preamps the tubey sound ...
