| What was you most expensive accidental damage? I remember stepping on a pair of KR 842's! This was about a $700 screw up! | |
| SUB TO MATCH WITH QUAD 22L'S Quad has a match for your speakers that you might find used. A REL STRATA III woudl also be a good one if you can find a black one used. | |
| Favorite Tube Speaker Match JOND,I've heard VU's horns and amps in his shop and the sound of those big horns is unforgettable. I have Avantegardes at home and they sound small in comparison! | |
| Can 5AR4 be replaced by 5U4G or 274B? Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that particular circuit. | |
| Can 5AR4 be replaced by 5U4G or 274B? Often, but not always. Look on Sophia Electric's website and read their qualifications for 274B tube. This might help. What amp do you own? | |
| Power Cord for Digital I had used a JPS Digital cord on my Wadia and Accuphase players to great effect. This particular cord DOES lower noise and in the wrong circumstance can take some of the life out of things. In the right system, it is very effective. | |

| Soundproof Windows I once lived on a very busy street and had only single pane windows. I installed exterior storm windows and the intrusive noise was essentially eliminated. | |
| Gene Harris suggestions? I have everything that Gene Harris ever did. You might try "Funky Gene's" and I'll suggest a few more tomorrow. His version of Summertime is awesome. He is one of my favorite pianists and it's a shame that he passed away recently. | |
| Richard Green room tune? I've used the corner tunes for years in numerous rooms with excellent results. | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement If you want to continue to love and respect your WADIA rig, don't buy a turntable. I retired mine so that I could learn to love digital. It has generally worked, but after spending tens of thousands of dollars over the years investing in new and "... |
