    Acoustic Research AR-4x: no sound from tweeters

    I am working on a similar pair that also have no sound from the tweeters. I unsoldered one tweeter and tested it with a meter and saw that it was ok. I put the tweeter back in and started working the pots and one of the tweeters started to work. So I think the pots need to be cleaned or...

    Silly question...

    If it is a good enough deal buy it regardless of upgrade. I bet it is a worthwhile upgrade though.

    Is discogs safe to buy from?

    Well they do have a feedback rating you could consider. I haven’t had any problems finding some titles I was seeking.

    Any experience with the Prima Luna Evo range?

    New production Tung-sol KT-150. My understanding is the new Primaluna EVO Line adds balanced outputs.

    Any experience with the Prima Luna Evo range?

    Hi, I have had a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP power amp now for almost 4 years. I bought it used and have had no problems with it, sounds great. The auto-bias is great and allows the use of many different power tubes. It came with stock EL34 and also a set of KT-120. I didn’t like the KT-120...

    Help identifying tube

    Hi All, I was hoping to get some help identifying this tube (see pics). All I can make out is a faint “A5”. My guess is that it is a 6A5. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    JVC QL-A7 Turntable. Worth Pursuing?

    I have 2 of these tables and really like them. At the end of the record the arm lifts and platter stops. I am pretty sure there is no arm return mechanism. This is a step up from the mon “A” models that don’t have auto shutoff. A common problem on these is dropping of the counter weight. If...

    Sansui 1000a

    I have one that I had restored by John Wargo in PA. He added separate bias pots for the power tubes and led lights. Sounds real nice. It looked to me like a complicated restore.

    PrimaLuna Premium HP or Music reference RM-200

    When I ran it with 8 EL34s it wasn't so much a lack of power but more a lack of low end bass. I really liked the sweetness of the EL34s and preferred them over the KT-120s but then I eventually got the KT-150s and have settled on them.
