Doll is my fav, but I like them all. 
I envy what you know, not what you have
I've benefited from many folks here. Since I joined 3 years ago I've initiated 28 threads - usually seeking help from the experts. I have tried to convey my profound thanks to all who responded to those threads. I've also learned so much more thro... 
Spade to banana adapters
I've used the spade adapter for the purpose you seek. See the other thread below for more discussion. The inner channel of the compression sleeve is the same size, and it's machined like the banana jack on a 5-way binding post. BTW - the reviews s... 
shipping tips
there have been similar threads in the past with lots of good advice. Here's one of them: A simple request---Please pack audio gear well. 
Question for sellers-Do you clean item before ship
I always clean - indeed detail all items I sell - at least to the extent possible without risking damage, then wrap them in cellophane. I usually do this before I listing. Alas I'm not in the majority judging from my purchases. I'm appalled by som... 
Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used
my reaction is the same as others above - 7 years old is nearly new!"Older" speakers can be a far better value than newer - especially in this hobby where we're prone to upgrade. The price/performance far exceeds new speakers, and most of the depr... 
Cutting long interconnects and putting on new term
it's not hard to do - though the advice above to practice is good. It's easy to overheat your connectors which will ruin them, so start wiyth cheap ones until you have the hang of it. Parts Exresss is another good source for parts (shrink, connect... 
Q: Playing empty/last groove ?

Chad, my response was actually a joke. I thought your comment was acurate. 
Amplifier fealure
or it could be simple coincidence. I had the power supply of my Lexicon DC-1 blow out and all I did was plug it in. I think it was just ready to go, which may be the case with your amp.I seems peculiar though that you still get some sound through ...

You guys are already on a computer wich has the ability to search and learn about almost any product, service or idea in the Universe so take advantage of it, if the seller is lazy so be it and if you are not as lazy do some research for gods sak... 
It's been said before, but I'll say it again...
I agree with all of the above. I think it's true that normally cordial folks do this unconciously sometimes. It's the "instant message" culture. My reaction though is to doubt the person's sincerity and credibility. Normally this first impression ... 
Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71
