New production 7868 beam pentode power tubes will soon be available from Sovtek (Made in Russia) and sold under the Electro Harmonix brand. Why should you care? Because this is the output tube used in the Fisher 400 receiver and also Fisher models X-101-B and X-101-C integrated amplifiers. If...

Does anyone know anything about this amplifier? http://www.graniteaudio.com/aspen/page3.html

I have a small number of the hybrid CD/SACD disks and recently discovered that my Rolling Stones CDs will not play in my old Denon DCD-1500 player. My Pink Floyd DSOM hybrid disk will play in the Denon player, as will my Bob Dylan hybrid disks. All of the hybrid disks I own play just fine in my...

Has anyone else heard the newly remixed and remastered Beatles, Let It Be album? I just listened to the CD twice and think it is just great. The song line up is more cohesive than on the original. These new mixes remove all of the additional strings, horns, drums, and bass guitar tracks and...

I was searching the net for possible tube amplifier kits suitable for headphones and came across this one. Only $139.00 for the kit, $169 assembled. The outputs are meant for 4 or 8 ohm speakers, so I don't know if this amp can be made to work with headphones ranging from 15-300 ohms. Still, for...

I recently purchased a ste of Sennheiser HD-600 headphones after reading the forums on this site. I have had a chance to do some listening to the HD-600s using some of my collection of vintage 60s, 70s, and 80s audio equipment. So far, I have listened to them using four pieces of vintage...

Introduction: As a new subscriber, I want to say that I have been interested in high fidelity sound and equipment for over 35 years. I can remember the first time I entered the hushed lush environment of a high-end audio salon and felt my nipples get hard. I dunno, maybe it was the cool air...
