is now my Eico HF 85 preamp. Sounds great. Thanks man...I love it.

is $400 a stupid good price or just ok?

a first gen Sherwood tuner that replicates one I used to have and- it's pristine it was packed to survive got here in two days I highly recommend being a buyer if dbxdb5 is the seller!

What's the last last/latest LP you acquired and is it as good as you hoped for. I'll start. Tori Amos "Under The Pink". Never heard it on vinyl before. It's awesome. I can hear the pedals on the piano. Atlantic 180 gm . Not a dissapointment at all. Participating in this will help all who...

New to my man cave is the total solution. 10 patio tiles with an appropriate topper. An isolation platform/5 layers:2 3/4” mdf, rubber sheet, 2 more 3/4” mdf. 8” innertube. Scout table with feet removed. I hear everything. Every nuance. It’s amazing. $100 for the platform, $40 for the patio...

Sanyo Plus Q45 in the space originally designed for the crt tv that died a long time ago. Boston Acoustic A60’s in the cabinets. Kenwood KA 4002 integrated. Sounds great and it’s a pleasure to travel and be able to enjoy vinyl.

I removed the pan under the platter to service the table and put a lp on without putting the pan back on. I was sure I heard a sonic improvement so I went back and forth listening. There is no doubt in my mind it livens up the sonics with it uninstalled. Anybody else try this?

any of you who have an SL1600 with a non functioning full auto, where the tonearm goes across the record rather than the beginning of the lp, I successfully fixed mine just now and I'm jazzed. Anybody who has this failure and wants to know what the fix is, pm me and I'll talk you through it...

Why is the 22xxb series considered lesser? Is it sonically? Is it maintenance issues? A combination of both? Is it across the board? Thanks in advance. Just trying to learn something.

anybody bi-amping their kg4's? Is it possible just to get to the xover internally and split the horn from the woofers?

Just scored this last night for my bedroom system. $157 shipped. I had one exactly like it 37 years ago. Advertised as in near mint condition and the pics show that. Here's the caveat....the seller had zero feedback so I'm nervous. Everybody has to start somewhere. I've had 3 turntables...

was camping for a week near Canton, Ohio, very near where BradleyS lives. I dropped off two tube preamps, both with a channel out and he fixed them before I left town and I saved shipping charges and got my babies back so easily and painlessly!! Thank you again my friend. My tech for life...

without regard to cartridge , only considering performance, which tonearm would you rather have? A Grace 707 in good condition and includes the cable, or a Micro Seiki MA 303 without the cable, also in good condition. I can make a cable. I intend to use this on a VPI Scout. Thanks in advance

anybody have experience with this combination?

I have one. I like it quite well. Where does it fit in the hierarchy of AT pmount carts?

I just received a nos p mount AT 450. Came in a case with all the goodies. It sounds as good, or better, than AT33ptg/ll and an AT0C9/2 i had. I’m not joking and no affiliation. I bought another just now and I will never need another. This guy is in TX and I think he has about 60 left. PM me if...

I didn’t need more detail, but I thought wouldn’t mind more either. Found out about super tweeters. Did some research and wasn’t prepared to spend $300 to try the idea. But I found one with great reviews. Ordered 2 tweeters, 2 Lpads. $55 approx. 2 cigar boxes and a little labor. Spent more time...

1978 nm copy of The Beatles White Album. So what's so special, well first, it's on the purple Capital label, my favorite. Second, the vinyl is WHITE! How cool is that? Didn't even know there was such a thing and now it's coming my way. Just had to say something cuz I'm jazzed.

This a review of the Schiit Loki add on tone controls. For many, this is a device you will never consider. That’s great. This review isn’t intended to sway you, but it’s intended for anybody who has considered a preamp with no tone controls, and then ultimately wanted them. I have a Rogue...

don’t know if this has been seen here before but I was hoping people will weigh in with their own reviews https://www.stereophile.com/content/best-6sn7-1

For those AK’ers who are also home roasters, I just came across this and I wanted to share. This is from an email from Burman coffee traders, no affiliation other than I buy coffee from them from time to time. I’m going to buy some of this. This price is great and so is the enterprise. “Rwanda...

i sent BradleyS a Fisher 481A console pull in need of complete restore. Got it back in incredibly fast time. His work is impeccable. I’ve been to his home workshop and I can tell you he is prepared for whatever you might send him. I highly recommend Brad for all your repairs. He is in Canton OH...

bought s Nak CR1A deck. Arrived packed as bomb proof as I’ve seen. Deck is in great condition and Jim was super easy to deal with, as usual. Thanks Jim. Much appreciatef!

My console pull doesn't have the big resistor compensating for the lack of a preamp hooked up to the power supply as I've read is necessary. The amp sounds great but is blowing tubes way early, which I'm guessing is because of the lack of this necessary mod. I have taken a pic of the underside...

anybody local to Detroit that can be recommended to restore a Fisher 481a? It sounds great but keeps blowing out el84's way too soon. Nothing is red plating and the sound is fine. Would appreciate any advice.
