| Any comments on Walker High Def Links??? My reaction to the Walker HDL is the same as Jadem6. I have not heard the Orthospectrum speaker network boxes, but I do know that Oliver at Delve Audio is not a dealer for Walker.I guess he could have purchased or traded for Walkers and made a com... | |
| Determining Bad Tubes Thumping even brand new select tubes can cause the reaction you describe. Two easy ways to solve your problem. One is to buy a tube tester and test your tubes.Second is to purchase spare tubes ( which you will eventually need ). Put in the new tub... | |
