I have a Maxi Matcher 2 and was testing some Mullard EL34 xf2 tubes and got a plate current reading of 17.6 mA on one at 400v. The chart on the tester says the expected readings for EL34 is between 21-50 mA. im just wondering if there is a minimum mA that EL34 tubes should be before they are...

Im thinking about picking up a Koetsu Black Goldline and using it with my Technics SL 1700 mk2. I have the additional weight attachment for the arm if needed and have 3 phono preamps i could use, EAR 834P, Icon Audio Ps1 and a Dynvector P75 mk3. Good or Bad idea? thoughts

i just had my HPD 385A drivers re-foamed at midwest speaker and on one of them the foam is dented. i thought it was finger prints but the guy who did them says that sometimes they sag when when the glaze or whatever they use is brushed on. is this plausible? ive never seen this.

i recently bought a pair a Berkeley's, i took the drivers out to bring them in to get new foam surrounds and saw the serial number tags on them are different than the serial numbers tags on the cabinets. my question is are they suppose to be the same? the cabinet tags say 385/ then the number is...

This post is meant to help others searching for info on 2285B cases like I was. The 2265B is a similar design and this might apply to that unit as well. When i purchased my 2285B a few years ago it came with a WC-22 case and no metal cover. I contacted the seller to see if they had the...

not sure whats going on here been a month or two since i last used. i hooked up a table to phono 1 got nothing, switched rca cables and checked cartridge mounting and tried phono 2 as well still dead quiet. turned selector to FM and that works fine. tried a different table nothing again. tried...

i was messing around with my wiring nest and backed into one of my Tannoy Cheviots ( my favorite speakers damn it ) it fell onto a corner of a table and got a hole punched through the cone. im going to bring to Midwest Speaker and have it patched if they can do it. if its repaired does it affect...

i saw a pair of model 9's listed for sale, one is the first 500 made model without the tube shield and the other is the second version with the tube shield. i was told and read that the transformers were changed in the second version ( correct me if that is wrong). i guess it made me wonder if...

i used my 2275 sunday and left it on, went to put an album on monday and hadnt even touched anything and smelled smoke looked at the front and i think the lights were dimmed but not sure it happened fast, but anyway i could see smoke filling the dial glass area and turned it off and unplugged...

I have a partial tear in my quadriceps above the knee and i went to have an MRI done, the tech/nurse said it would take 20 min and asked if i wanted to listen to some music and i said yes and he put some headphones on. the sound was absolutely the worst all garbled and the only thing that was...

Ok this NOS ADC ZLM Standard Improved cartridge was included with a NOS Technics SL 1700mk2 that i bought. I had never heard of it and it certainly wasnt even on my radar. I have 25 other carts and need another like a hole in the head. im tryng to decide between selling it NOS to someone who...

i cant find much info about this, VAC made reissues of the 9, 8B and 7C what would the difference in value of similar condition units. would the originals be worth more , the same is it a big difference?

I could use a 4140 cap list if anyone has one they would share.

I have and extra headshell for my PL-530 that could use a cartridge and i prefer LOMC not HO. ive been looking at a Denon 103R and AT33PTG/ll but am open to pretty much anything that would match the table up to around $700. My phono pre's are an Icon Audio PS1mk2 and Dynavector P75mk3. MC...

Brady is 10,000 yards behind Manning/Farve for most yards and behind in a few other stats which will take him 2 - 3 years to break. I think he will choose to go out on top if they win this superbowl and not chase the records and possibly finish his outstanding career on the downside or injured...

I was mounting a Grado Sonota Reference 1 on a TP 60 headshell to put on my TD 160 and was using the plastic alignment jig and had to many shims and the tip of it hit right on the back of the V notch and bent the cantilever 90 degrees right before the stylus on the cartridge side i was able to...

Hi im thinking about getting an E.A.R 834P phono pre with the volume control i have a couple questions about it. first is it a good phono pre and second would it work well connected straight into an amp say my Marantz 8b without another pre like my 7. i am hoping to get a pair of model 9 mono...
