Scored 20 NOS 6an4 tubes for the Moth. They were only $1 a piece! Even if he jacked me around on shipping that's still a great deal. 14 of the 20 were the preferred D-getters from the mid-late 50's.

Really want to ditch our cable provider, just looking / waiting for a suitable alternative. Verizon FIOS looks sweet, unfortunately it's not available in our state [yet]. I'd love to cherry-pick channels but I don't think anyone is offering that service in our area. Looking at the usual...

What are you using as footers / spikes / platforms under your speakers? I replaced the original brass spikes that came with my Silverline Sonatina with Black Diamond Racing [carbon fiber] MK 3 cones. This required the 8mm adapter. Currently resting on carpet but have some rubber / composite...

I'm looking to replace my Denon AVR-590 * with a AVR that will allow me to connect an out-board DAC and ATST by-pass the internal AVR DAC. Just to clarify, I'm using the RCA output on the DAC to the analog input on the AVR. Any recommendations in the $500 range would be appreciated. Perhaps a...

Brought a new windows 10 PC, downloaded iTunes and all of my files appeared to be transferred. Yet when I attempt access them I get the message "original file not found". What do I have to do for iTunes too see these files? I have the original PC I downloaded all the music. TIA.

A year ago I hooked up my 13 YO with a vintage stereo [Marantz 2215b / Pioneer HPM-40] but it's rarely used as kids these days seem more interested in portable systems. So I ordered him a Marshall Kilburn portable speaker for his upcoming birthday to matrix with his iPhone 5c. I'm curious if...

Kegger will be posting registration info for the 2015 season soon.

Does anyone know if the JBL D-131 speaker wouLd be suitable for lead guitar speaker. I have a friend with one that's been re-coned...

How high is your monitor? The base of my 50" plasma is 36". My viewing distance is 9'. So I'm looking up at the screen. Is there a recommended height or is it all personal preference? It seems cool now but I wonder about long term fatigue. MikE

For you Plasma owners did you break in your displays? I've heard various arguments. Any experience on bothering with this vs just plug-n-play? I ordered a Panasonic TC-P50X1 50" 720p .Thanks.

Looking to P/U the guitar, something inexpensive like a Epiphone G400 custom [$499] and want to pair it up with a small [15-20w] tube amp. Should I get something new like the Fender Pro [$399] or would something vintage be worth looking into? I'm into tubes amp, so I love to roll. Thanks in...

A non-audio friend of mine asked me for speaker recomendations to replace his 20-year old Fishers for his HT. I've always been a 2-channel guy and geared more toward hi-end. I haven't upgraded my system or auditioned speakers in years as I'm pleased with my SET + Silverline combo. Here's his...

I told family and friends before I left for Boston I would return with a hitch in my giddy up, a smile on my face and a finisher’s medal in my pocket. Mission accomplished. My Boston story was much more about redemption than just running a race. Unfortunately after last Fall’s DNF I felt I...

Anyone heard of these speakers? I believe they're high-efficiency, floor standers by an Italian manufacturer. My buddie sold his Silverline Sonatina's for these, so they must be good! :yes:

Are there any McIntosh dealers in Boston? TIA

Moved into a new house recently and wanting to hear music quickly used my Moth Audio wooden amp crate to stack my transport/amp. I put the custom 22x13x3" granite amp platform on the crate and the transport on the granite sandwiched between a Bright Starr Audio platform [sand box] and pod. The...

Rather than list "audiophile terms" [which some are uncomfortable with] I leave it up to you, the readers, to describe what aspect of musical replay you find most rewarding or challenging. Now I'm off to the bedroom to listen to some sweet music. MikE

I've been a proponent of AC treatment for many years. In fact I purchased this particular duplex in October, 2001. The product under review is a Acme Audio Labs 15 amp/125 volt duplex. AA takes a Pass & Seymour 5252 outlet, silver plates it then sends it to JENA Labs for cryogenic [deep freeze]...

Have any of you sprung for the [teflon] V-cap upgrade? If so what did you discover? I run Exotica / REL teflon coupling caps in my Moth but unfortunately I can't comment on them directly because that was one of the upgrades I had Craig do for me, therefore only have his feedback on them vs his...

Surprizingly this question has never been asked [as a subject title]. :scratch2: For the last four [4] years I've been using the original Silverline Sonatina's. They're 93db, 8 ohm load, 3 way ported boxes with dual 6" bass drivers. I pair these with a Moth s45 using EML 45 triodes. This...

Looking forward to thumping your ass in FF next season! Enjoy your day! :beerchug: :yippy: :yippy: MikE

Ok, a thread on another forum prompted this query and thought it may be of interest. We'll see. Like the previous author I too bought my first audio system in 1979 and have been a hobbyist ever since. Though I consider myself an audiophile I'm first and formost a music lover and collector...
