Hi guys Looking for a Phono pre-amp for my dad. Budget is a bit limited, but let?s see what?s out there. 👍🏻 Thanks.

Hi I'm looking for preferably a 2nd hand Sovtek(can you temporarily mix & match?) EL84 tube to replace a damaged one. I'll get a new set later if this amp ends up being worth it. Preferably in the Centurion/PTA area if possible. Thanks

Picked up what looks like a DIY project which consists of 4x EL84 and 2x ECF80 tubes. It also came with hand drawn/written schematics included. Does anyone perhaps know more about this thing? I can see one EL84 valve has burnt, but can?t see visually see anything else wrong with it. I have...

Hi I want to start replacing some (eventually all) of the caps on my old Sansui 220 valve amp. What would the equivalent be of this cap? Thanks

Long story short, my vintage Pioneer tube amp started scratching, so it's out of commission until I can get it serviced. I've been using a crappy Joseph pre-amp with a Rotel amp in the meantime, but the pre-amp has now started acting up. It could just be the power supply, but I'm looking at a...

Lockdown boredom kicked in, so I grabbed my old SLR and a spare stylus I had laying around. Not as easy photographing these things as it sounds, but anyway, the diamond looks okay, right?

Waste of time and money. I'm sure you all know this but I just have to reiterate again - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Did some tests with one output plugged into the cheap preamp and another into the amp's built in phono input then switching between them - it's literally night & day. The DC one...

Long story short, my grandfather bought one of these new almost 50 years ago: it went to my dad who gave it to me when I was still a kid. I couldn't appreciate it back then and ended up butchering it, removing all the knobs, etc. My dad tried getting it back together but it was pretty...

Hi guys What would you guys reccomend for this? I know you could use sand but apparently you could also get small lead pellets/balls. Where can  I get these?

Hi guys After replacing getting the Yamaha AVR I was pretty happy with the sound but not entirely convinced it sounded much better than the NAD it replaced. Replaced the !@#$ speaker cable I was using with 3mm and some decent banana plugs. Didn't sound much different but a day or two later...

Howzit Got the Dire Straits ALchemy Bluray yesterday. Picture is not great, but the audio was remastered in DTS HD master audio and sounds brilliant. GO GET IT!
