| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? +100 Technics SL-1200mk7 current production. Or if funds are available the 1200G as mentioned.

| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? Yeah, some think burn is a farce, some a must. I’m the “there is a warm up process for better sound” As soon as they arrive, set up, plug in and power on, leave the amps pushing power via CD player preamp etc , listen right away for a while, ... | |

Lots of arrogant and rude comments here. @millercarbon is having some fun, being himself, adding some humor, and making a message about audio gear.

| Major Contradiction, Can you replace foam surrounds with Rubber Surrounds on Speakers ??? My CV D-9 surrounds are all dry rotted,.....I push the red surround, it just lets my finger push right through, crumbling slightly around my finger.

| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Many amps, both stereo and mono, need manual adjustment of the bias. | |

| Lessons learned about packing for shipment 2 Onkyo receivers years ago, sent for repair, both returned in pretty bad shape, nothing more was done and I lost out on 2 good receivers. Yes, I called, sent letters, etc etc numerous times, their silence was a “pound sand” gesture. 3 CD player... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Only 4 hrs each way. Nothing to save and update his beloved amplifier. !!

Grab a basket w food... | |

| Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade? If we had the money, would definitely get the very best upgrade/speakers available. The Ohm speakers are a very distinctive sound, and I still remember them as a kid about 11-12 maybe, hearing them at my cousins house. Great speakers, and amaz... |
