Hello all!
I?m looking for a test disc that has 3.0 kHz and 3.15 kHz tracks for turntable wow and flutter testing. Not very common, but maybe I?ll get lucky.
I want to throw something open for interest and comment. How good, bad, or indifferent are Sovtek EL34G and WXT valves? My past experience with EL34?s (and 84?s) has been with those from Mullard, Philips and Telefunken, since these were easily available when I was building valve amps years and...
Have a look at this!
Was my favourite book on hifi in the '60's. Philps components were available in South Africa from a company called Domescor and even though I was young and thus impecunious I bought two special output transformers for the ECL 86 based SE amp described on pages 35-41. The...
I'm about to resuscitate an AVO mark 2 valve characteristic meter. When I bought it some years ago the readings, as I recall, were inaccurate. This led me to suspect the meter movement, since this is well known to be the main problem point with these testers.

Please pm if...

I'm looking for a good outboard DAC and since I have no experience of these perhaps someone would like to comment on what I should be looking for.
Primarily, the input would be from from a CD transport but having a USB input would also be nice. The preamp, amp and speaker chain of the system is...
Lectori salutem. My first post on this section.
I've recently acquired a rather nice wow and flutter meter (Leader LFH-39A) that is just asking to be used on some of my TT?s. The catch of course is that one needs a test disk with a 3.0 or 3.15 kHz track on it to do the tests.
Thus the...
