Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2?
Just purchased a two-bay equipment rack from Guitar Center.This MDF box has room for two full size (19" wide)components.My Toshiba A35 fits in nicely.I bought a 3.5" X 19" metal "fill strip" to cover the top slot and laid a 1" dense foam rubber ma...

I think my response is a little simplistic.The cabinet is bigger and there is more "magic gook" (the stuff that makes it sound good) inside.And let's not forget the cryoed premium outlets. The value of the 4, 6, 8 is that you don't have to purchas...

Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's?
I owned these around 1986 for about two years.After hearing a really good dynamic speaker (Conrad-Johnson Synthesis) in a dealer showroom, I couldn't get rid of them fast enough.

I love my Harmonic Technology Pro-9s.Although they didn't work with my low-powered SET, they are magnificent with high powered tubes or SS.
