P.S. You're not crazy at all for sticking with two channels! We are Stereophile, after all.

Ironically enough, "stereo" is defined as two or more speakers, not just two, though "stereo" has garnered a colloquial meaning of two channel over the years.

Greetings to all, and thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to think about my questions and respond.

Let me preface this by saying I HAVE nothing, and all I know I

That's funny. And the old adage, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Or be more nimble with a test probe!!! Zaaaaaaaaap. If I was a good as you in using a meter I'd be dead on teh voltages I work on.....poooooof. Send it back and just say it don't work, play dumb, in your case it may not be playing!!!!!!

So I got my "new" Marantz 2270 serial no 11754 and decided it would be
a good idea to check the DC offset. One channel was at 70mV and the
other was at 30mV. Not bad, but enough to bug me since it seemed like
a simple enough fix. I found the manual online and was first going to
check the voltage on J802 like it says. Well I managed to short out
J802 to the ground (puff of smoke came from somewhere around the
middle cap). I turned it off and back on and everything seemed to work
fine so I proceeded to get the offset to 0 for both channels. Now one

Atlantic label will make Ray Charles and Led Zeppelin hi-rez downloads available online this fall. (page 69 column 2)

Wow! I want them now!

Hi all,

I have a new Cayin A-88T integrated amp. It is my first tube amp, and really sounds magnificent... so of course, I was wondering what tubes you might suggest to make it sound even better.

I prefer a balanced sound - clean and detailed, with equal measures of musicality and warmth. I listen to a wide range of music (electronica, acoustic, rock, classical), and assume some tubes might be better suited for my needs than others.

It uses:

(4) KT-88 / 6550
(2) 6SL7
(2) 6SN7

Many thanks,

Bill
