Shallow ambitions 6465 
I might unwillingly bring to my home… 6465 
Acronym 6465 
The End of Life Phonostage’s power supply 6453 
"...better and more sophistocated PS" (vs. bad AC) 6453 
The stupid, lousy AC is another subject. 6453 
It is comming along.... 6272 
Now, that's a phono stage! 6272 
The perfect corrector. 6272

Here it is: The perfect corrector – III 6270 
Wrong values shown 6269 
The deliberate mistakes? 6269 
330R anode resistors 6269 
The coupling cap in my 'End of the life' phono? 6269 
Nope, it was not ‘keeping anybody on toes’... 6269 
The latest version of the corrector – not heard it yet. (corrected) 6267 
The sentiments behind “End of Life" Phonostage 6267 
Going on from "There" 6267 
Ok, it is already almost there. 6267 
The ET2+EAR-834PT and the ultra-dynamic softness. 6266 
I am semi-ecstatic; my vinyl will be back soon… 6265

USSR SSG 6261 
Question for Dima re 2nd stage biasing. 6261 
Fixed bias 6261

Clarity vs. VTA vs. Character 6245 
What VTA has to do with phonostage? 6244 
Phonostage vs. VTA 6244 
The 834PTF’s cathode follower: tube vs. SS 6244

The air capacitors 'allegations'. 6159 
One tube, two channels? 6159 
The halves of the twin-triodes 6159 
"Crosstalk" 6158 
I just love sound of this phonocorrector. 6117 
To close the book on the correctors subject ... 6096
