| Modwright Psychicanimal,You *must* have more charm than I do 'cuz Dan refused to work on my Harmon-Kardon CD player citing that it was more than 3 yrs old & that he had no H/K experience. I know that your belt-drive CD player is well over 3 yrs old - he... | |
| upgrade ARC SP-8 FWIW: looks as tho' you like the ARC sound. My friend here owns an upgraded & modified SP-6A. Gorgeous sound & I can understand why ARC had its haydays during the times it manuf. the SP-6 --> SP-11. The SP-6A is a 1978 vintage pre but I... | |

| Material Specifications/Layout for AC line Beatlebum/Tim,Looks like I might be too late in this thread but I'll put in my 2 cents FWIW:I used 10AWG romex in-wall wire. After reading a # of threads on A'gon w/ really good info from people like Lak to name just 1 person, by 2nd-hand living w... | |

| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner GNSC & Jtinn,P-L-E-A-S-E back-off, both of you! If one of you still feels that he should have the last word, P-L-E-A-S-E refrain & let the gentleman inside you take over. There has been a LOT of un-necessary mudslingling in this thread &am... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,OK, I suggest that you play carefully with the VTA. Before commencing, mark the position of the present VTA so that you can always return to the start point w/o guessing. Do the VTA adjustment as carefully as possible: using shims at the p... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,Contrary to what most people think (including myself @ 1 time), the Goldring 1012 & 1042 guts are THE same! This is so stated on the Origin Live website (I think) but not on the Goldring website for some reason! In fact, all the 1000 s... | |
