I'm currently using Sylvania JAN 6189 as the phase splitter in my power amp. They seem quite good, I have a pair of Mullard CV4003 in the drawer as I marginally prefer the sound of the 6189. They are a good bit cheaper than Mullards.

Re: House sound?
Well, I got some Beyer DT 880s 250 ohm in the end. I got to hear before purchase: Sennheiser 599s and 660s Meze 99 neo AKG 550s B&W P5 A pretty random selection but at least it gave me something to cross reference, against the reviews I was reading. I was expecting to like Sennheisers but actual...

Re: Disco Antistat and mods
I agree that a rinse is worthwhile but I have one machine.
Clean records and put on supplied draining rack, empty machine, refill with distilled water, rinse records and return to rack to dry.
Regards, Phil.

Hello Chris,
Shure was not a brand I had considered.
Thanks for the tip, I will have a look.

Re: House sound?
Thanks for the offer Greg, Yours are a good bit more expensive than I'm looking at, but if I come to the conclusion that there is a company sound, they may still be worth a listen. I'll bare it in mind. DJSR, Thanks for the info, Sennheiser, if more mellow may be to my taste. I had seen the Grados b...

House sound?
I was considering getting some headphones for late night music & TV. I have no significant experience with h-phones but have been doing a bit of looking. I am very unlikely to be able to hear all the ones I might consider so my question is, do different makes tend to have a "house sound&quo...

Hi Stephen,
I have Elna Silmic II in that position, sound nice to me but not tried BG so can't compare.

Re: Is it still alive?
You could measure the value and the leakage current but that is a big dent. I wouldn't trust it, even if it measured OK.

Re: CD transport importance.
Hello Philip,
Yes, I had seen the Cambridge CXC. Even bearing in mind that yours is not yet fully run in, it does sound like any differences are fairly small so I think I will be going for the cheap option.
Thanks all. Phil.

Re: CD transport importance.
Thanks for the Reply, Well, as ever, by better I suppose I mean newer and/or more expensive. Like many people I expect, I have a modern DAC with a fairly old, budget(low mileage) CD player being used as a transport. Would a new budget CDP or even one of the cheaper dedicated transports available, be...

CD transport importance.
Hello all, What does anyone think about this? Obviously (I assume) a better transport will sound better, but how much. All the attention seems to be on DACs but there rarely seems to be any discussion about how much difference a transport can make. Is this because the answer is "not very much&q...

Re: Ant's Latest Lenco Build
A lovely looking conversion.
With a standard top plate, the simple solution is to move the arm across before you switch the motor on, although that is no help if your arm doesn't have a cue mechanism.

Re: Tannoy eaton mods?
Hello Ben, If you look at the diagram, the +ve input to the crossover only goes to 2 places, the first (of 3) caps in the treble section and the series inductor for the bass section. Simply follow the track from the +ve input and you will find it, it is the one that is not an inductor ! As you give ...
