| Which Multimeter for newbie. I bought a bench Fluke 8050A digital multi-meter (pic) on eBay for $50 three years ago. This is an excellent DMM that is very accurate and durable. They still sell for $30-50 these days. It is perfect for any DIY project or repairs. | |
| Advice for Building a turntable Hi Herman,I'm with you, DIY TT's are way out of my league. But, there are some really fascinating discussions as to what actually goes into the design of a seemingly simple turntable. As a result of reading a healthy portion of their journey, I ha... | |

| What can you tell me about jm reynaude. Hi John,Thanks for filling in the details. I got my speakers right after JMR switched from the Battenboard to the newer cabinet construction.How do you like the Von Schwiekert's?I heard the VR4.5 jr(?) last year and they were incredible. | |
| What can you tell me about jm reynaude. Bob Neil of Amherst Audio is now the US Distributor for Reynaud speakers and the best place to start for information. Believe it or not, he actually started out a reviewer for 6Moons.com and loved reviewing the Reynaud's (and others) so much that ... | |
| Any Tool fans out there. Yep, been into them since their first EP "Opiate" in 1992. One of the most powerful, hard rock, bands the last 20 years. Intensity is the word for them, even when they try to slow it down.Back in ~1991, when I worked at major record label in Los A... | |
| What can you tell me about jm reynaude. Wow Tireguy,I had mine for 5 years and never had any problem. I live near the beach in Southern California resulting in dampness and fog at least 4 months of the year, you'd think that would lead to problems, but no ever. A lot of wood and metals ... | |

| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. "This is my first SET though so maybe they are all special in this regard."To a certain degree, yes. But, the 45 tube and Yamamoto are probably in a select subset of amps much better at those traits listed in your intital post than most others ava... | |
| Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it??? I prefer my GS Era w/ Elevator to both the EAR 834P and Rogue Stealth. It sounded significantly clearer and more dynamic in my system. The EAR & Rogue are terrific units, but in my case, my SET amps already provide a lot of the best benefits o... | |
