  1. I have the boxes for both tubes
  2. 2 Valvo EZ -80 rectifier tubes 50.00 for the pair ,cleaning out my closet of spare tubes.Shipped from Sevierville,Tn
  3. I am always looking,I will be in Greensboro next weekend, I plan on going to a couple of record stores when I am in town.I had a friend help me set up my Yamaha PF-800 with the Denon DL-103r and after I added oil to the arm everything is silky smooth .
  4. I picked it up because it was a mono recording for use for DJ’s
  5. Listening to The Cowsills on a windy night
  6. I sold these tapes. I should have marked my ad sold .

    What I Got Today!

    My Dennis Had Inspire LP-3.1 came in today.It was an original LP-3a and I exchanged emails with Dennis and sent it in for an upgrade,complete upgrade inside and I even had him change the faceplate.I’m going to use it in bedroom system and for now I installed it in my main system and the little preamp is sounding great,.if it just had a remote control.
  8. The seller has these listed in the general section on Craigslist I just emailed them suggesting that they also list them in the electronic section.
  9. Nothing like listening to Eric Clapton on my vinyl setup on a cold winter night.I finally finished some maintenance on my Yamaha PF-800 turntable.I had to add silicon oil to the arm release and now the arm slowly drops on the record,I also installed my new Denon DL -103r cartridge.I had a friend from NC help me setup everything and he is not a Klipsch guy but after we got everything dialed in he was blown away by the sound.I almost sold this table before Christmas I am glad I decided to keep it,I love the way it looks and also how it sounds.Playing vinyl is a labor of love and when I am playing records it kinda takes me back to a time when I just enjoyed the music and I was not so critical about the sound.Some of my best memories was going into Dixie hi-fi looking at the monster receivers,reel to reels,cassette decks,speakers and turntables.

    What I Got Today!

    The Carver amp arrived today and right out of the box the amp sounds great, I have it hooked up to a Marantz SA-11S3 using the gain control on the amp for volume .I am shocked at how deep the bass is and no edge at all on the top end .

    What I Got Today!

    I am awaiting delivery of a Bob Carver VTA-20 Tube Power amp that I bought last night off audiogon,I am also waiting on my Dennis Had Inspire preamp.It was a Model LP-3a and I am having it upgraded to his latest model LP-3.1 .I talked to Dennis before Christmas and he was excited about how nice it turned out and I am looking forward to hear the 2 pieces with my Klipschorns.I will post pictures once I receive them and have them setup.
  12. records precisely. Due to its stability, it has been used widely in radio stations. Elliptical Styli To reduce the tracking distortion and pinch-effect of a conical stylus, the elliptical stylus is made with a smaller effective radius to overcome these two conditions and provide more detailed audio content. Line Contact Styli (Special Line Contact, Shibata, MicroLine®) Having a0 On the Para-toroidal generating system, since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low, a superb linearity can be obtained. Permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores.

This stylus tip extracts every possible piece of information from the grooves on a record. • Aluminium tapered cantilever • Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency • Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk • Die-cast aluminium alloy housing reduces vibration and adds a natural electrical shield VM750SH DUAL MOVING MAGNET STEREO CARTRIDGE Fitted with the Shibata stylus, which was developed for playing 4ch vinyl records that demand high-frequency reproduction capabilities during playback. Not only high- frequency, it is also ideal for reproducing rich mid and low frequencies. • Aluminium tapered cantilever • Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency • Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk • Die-cast aluminium alloy housing reduces vibration and adds a natural electrical shield 06 Product Information Line Contact Styli VM740ML DUAL MOVING MAGNET STEREO CARTRIDGE High-end model featuring a MicroLine® stylus in an aluminium die-cast alloy body.

The styli in our VM cartridges are no different. But it is easy to replace the stylus and continue to use your cartridge. Our renewed VM cartridges have 7 styli and 3 types of bodies to choose from. Not only is it not necessary to buy an entirely new cartridge, but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your stylus or trying a new cartridge/stylus combination.

These incorporate various features to allow Mono reduction from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R, Mono L, Mono R, L&R Variable Mix). When an SP record is played with a standard Stereo Phono Preamplifier, it is recommended that a VM600 body is used for signal to noise ratio optimisation and to minimise record surface noise. (2) For best results when playing vintage mono LPs, Audio-Technica recommends using the VMN510CB conical stylus. A line contact or elliptical type stylus can be considered if you are sure that the dimensional groove construction of the LP(s) can safely handle these stylus tip shapes. * *Lifetime of the replacement stylus is approx. 300 to 500 hours for Conical, 300 hours for Elliptical, 1000 hours for MicroLine®, and 800 hours for Shibata and Special Line Contact. 10 VM760SLC Standard Replacement

  13. We moved to Tennessee in 2009 and bought a home with the same replacement cost of our home in NC and the cost of insurance was 30% higher and car insurance was 50% higher due to living in a tourist area.I finally found a company that the rates was only 20% higher on home and 25% higher on car.Then we had the major fires in East Tennessee,we had no claims and our rates tripled.We had to up our deductible to 2500.00 and the rates only doubled.Don’t get me started on health insurance.
  14. The turntable is no longer for sale, I sold my other Yamaha YPD-08 today.
  15. Here is a picture with the amp on and you can see the beautiful meter with the light on.
  16. Yamaha PF-800 belt drive turntable in near mint cosmetic condition,great sounding table and solid built.It comes with the original record clamp that you can read the speed of the album and Shure m97xe cartridge.I love the sound of this table I have 2 different tables and plan on keeping one.I may be interested in a trade ,due to the floating platter I would be willing to meet or local pickup.Sevierville,Tn
  17. I love the sound of Primaluna power amp and preamp with my system.
  18. Check your email Joe, I just got back in and sent you an email.
