anybody use these? I don’t see much on the web about them. For 109 bucks for a matched quad I might be the canary in the coal mine. https://nesstone.com/product/nesstone-premium-hand-selected-kt88-98-power-tube/

I bought this amp at an estate sale. I had no preamp so I bought a cheap Chinese “preamp”, the FX Audio 6j1. With the cheap preamp it sounds very good but the volume control is lousy and gets very shouty at higher levels. I have a different preamp coming (also cheap and Chinese) but it was 4x...

I was listening to music at low levels on my Bob Latino ST120 amplifier and the music got staticky. I looked at my amp and the KT120 tube(s) on the right side were lit up red and blue(not completely, just on a side). I quickly turned it off. After it cooled down I took the bottom off and...

The title says it all. I unscrewed the million screws in the back and now I can't get the MDF out. I don't want to put it on its back. Any ideas?

I just got a set of Symphony's at a great price. I'm really loving them. The have replaced my Vandersteen 2ce. I'm Hoping someone can guide me to the correct Tobin mods for them. I've read all I could find on these. I'm not going to do the work and some of what I've read is over my head. I know...

I'm going to look at a pair of bozak b4000 tonight. He is asking 400. He said he got them from the original owner and says all the drivers work. The cabs are kinda beat up and he says there is a little "separating" do the grills come off of these? How will they sound with my digital grateful...

In November I had someone build me an ST120. I had it for 4 days when it blew a power tube and resistor. In the 4 days it wouldn't hold bias. They guy that built it had it for 5 months to fix it. I got it back on Friday and I am still having trouble holding bias. I'm using KT88 and biasing to...

I have a pair of Yamaha NS690 in my second system. They are powered by a Sherwood s8600a. I love their balance and tone, but they can sound boxy. Im looking for recommendations for a full range, open sounding speaker. There is a pair of technics sb7000 in barter town I would love to have, but...

I just got these at an antique store for 20 bucks. They are in pretty good shape. I read that they can have peerless or some Japanese tweeters in them. I like the way they sound in my second system, and they will have a new home at my work. Right know they are hooked up to a Sherwood s 8600a...

I just got this from a customer. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I didn't find to much online. I see the selector switch has only fm or phono but it has an auxiliary input? Can someone let me know how to use my DAC with it? I haven't even gotten it home yet.

So, I had a bob latino st120 built for me by a tech in New York (I'm in Chicago). After playing it for 4 or 5 days , it made an awful noise and I turned it off. When I powered it back on the back right tube did not light up. I sent the tube back to the vendor (gold lion kt88). I just got the new...

I have yet to really hold a bias, it has drifted up .570ish, down .520ish, over the period of several hours. I let it run through the night, at low volume. When I got up this morning, before I had a chance to check the bias, I heard an audio noise out of the right channel. I quickly turned the...

I had a former (banned) member build my ST120. He did some mods, added a preout (for my sub) and a NOS Fisher carbon film volume control. I know you all know the feeling, like waiting for Santa. It's cold here, when it gets here I have to resist, and let it warm up. I have a quad of gold lions...

I was reading that this is one of the best 5670 for tube DACs. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Know how much they go for? NOS or used but test good?

I just picked up a pair of 2ce with no stands. I'm wondering if someone can tell me what the stands do to the sound? They sound good with my Mcintosh 4100, but I know they want more power! They blend nice with my svs subwoofer. They don't have the detail of my recapped yamaha NS690s but I'm...

I just got a set of 690 mk1! I like them! I really want to see what a recap and 5 way binding post will do. I'm running them with a mcintosh 4100, that was bought from audio classics a couple years ago. Well...that's what the guy told me I bought it off of. It has the audio classics box and a...

Does anybody have experience with upgrading the speaker terminals and RCA jacks on their vintage receivers? I've got a guy who is telling me I'm missing out and he would happily do the work for compensation, of course. They are crappy looking and loose. What do you guys think?
