"$800.00 dollars for two lightbulbs? What's wrong with us." That's what my friend Paul aka, BlueMcIntosh, said when I talked to him about these new tubes I was trying. I still get a chuckle from it and when I think about all the crazy and expensive, and sometimes crazy-expensive, products we...

Paul, I've been looking at these amps lately. They are in the Toronto area. Have you heard of them? Finale Audio

I finally got around to placing an order for a new cartridge and look what showed up today... It's cool how they bolt it to the case: One more: It's a crazy looking cartridge with a nude body and attaching it to my headshell was interesting. There's not a whole lot there to work with...

Does anyone own or have heard any of these new vinyl reissues? I've been looking at the list that they have on tap and there are so many great titles. I believe their intent was to have these be affordable for everyone to enjoy so I'm guessing they aren't as impressive as other pressings, but I...

Here's a cool video of some of the things that were pressed into the new record of Jack's. Gimmicky? Perhaps, but some pretty cool things too. Check out the gear on the rack in back!

I've been doing some searching around the web and read some reports that SED, Svetlana Electron Distributors, has ceased production of their vacuum tubes. This Svetlana isn't the same as Svetlana/New Sensor. I know that most of us around here prefer NOS tubes but I always had good success with...

Lynx - Light Up Your Lantern

I'm curious what others would own if they could re-do things in their set-up. I'm very happy with my current gear. As a matter of fact, my system has never sounded better but there has always been a couple pieces that I've wanted to own. Now before this becomes a "my dream gear" or "if I won the...

Besides using a Fozgometer, what are some methods that you guys use to find if your cart is level? I just eyeball mine but I would like to find a way that is quick and easy and precise.

I'm just wondering what other's would like to see under the tree this year. Is it a new phone, a furnace for your house, a day to spend with family, perhaps a Stanley Cup trophy for the Maple Leafs, or the entire series of Dr. Who on Blu-ray? My wife and I are getting a new couch this year...

I just stick mine in an old jar, but this is kind of fun. Los Boludos

Before I try searching the net I would like to get some opinions here about getting warps out of records. I see there's a certain machine out there that's ungodly expensive so lets scratch that right now. Is there a simple yet effective way to flatten a warped record? Layer them between...

Ah yes, Christmas time is here and with it comes visions of new goodies that we'd like to see "under the tree" if you will. So lets forget about the audio gear for a few minutes and focus on what every rider wants. New stuff!!! Is there anything that you lust after? For me it would be a shiny...

As many of you here know I just got back into vinyl earlier this year. I wasn't really sure after all that time away from it if I would embrace vinyl like I did many years ago. Well, to make a long story short I've gone down the deep, dark hole of vinyl. It's gotten me back into music instead of...
