Acronym 6617 
The End of Life Phonostage’s power supply 6605 
"...better and more sophistocated PS" (vs. bad AC) 6605 
The stupid, lousy AC is another subject. 6605 
It is comming along.... 6424 
Now, that's a phono stage! 6424 
The perfect corrector. 6424

330R anode resistors 6421 
The coupling cap in my 'End of the life' phono? 6421 
Nope, it was not ‘keeping anybody on toes’... 6421 
The latest version of the corrector – not heard it yet. (corrected) 6419 
The sentiments behind “End of Life" Phonostage 6419 
Going on from "There" 6419 
Ok, it is already almost there. 6419 
The ET2+EAR-834PT and the ultra-dynamic softness. 6418 
I am semi-ecstatic; my vinyl will be back soon… 6417

The air capacitors 'allegations'. 6311 
One tube, two channels? 6311 
The halves of the twin-triodes 6311 
"Crosstalk" 6310 
I just love sound of this phonocorrector. 6269 
To close the book on the correctors subject ... 6248
