Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier
I purchased a used rogue RP7 from high end audio auction. It's in immaculate condition only one problem, I  can't stand it, it's bad really bad. It's got the stock JJ tubes and Hopefully replacing them will do the trick. I ordered some Brimars and...

Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
I bought a  pair of Bryston mono blocks from a local guy who purchased them used from a dealer several years ago.  I had problems with both of them during the summer.   Bryston didn't ask  any questions at all, (other than whats wrong with them) a... 
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
The more I read the more I like. The prototypes platter looks nicer to me with the greenish lights rather than what appears to be  orange dots on the finished plinth.  The caged style Tone arm almost has to be built like that to favor the plinth! ... 
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
You want to make sure you don't get the same movers a neighbor of mine  had, they hauled her stuff alright, then held it for ransom offsite, and she had to pay a lot of money to get it back. They said that the estimate she was given was wrong and ... 
Problems with TIDAL MQA and QOBOZ "Hi Res"
I've streamed Billy Joe's music using Tidal and I think it's in the recording. So much so I can't listen to him anymore. What do others find?

Hell,  20 years ago I found the best electrician I could find, he replaced my old service, weather head and tidied things up In the attic. He had the power company come out and they either on his advice or theirs,  put a pole in my yard with a tra...

Restored Vintage SS Amps for Sale?
Audiokarma's Bartertown, I have experience with multiple sellers, You won't get cheated there. Plenty of members restore all types of gear and sell for less.  
Problem with Bryston 4B SST.
He must've replaced the caps and got it back to spec for 240, think they'd go that much for just a cord? 
Problem with Bryston 4B SST.
This one monoblock in question has always ran 10 degrees hotter than the other. Not until I moved my rack did it mess up completely though. I'm using another amp and it's not having a problem.
