My first Tube Amplifier
Audio Research Classic 60. Had just moved back to Chicago from L.A. (1991) and found it for sale in the Tribune for $1600. The Gentleman selling also had an SP-9 pre but, like a boob, I passed. Decided to use my Adcom GFP-565 pre instead. So, for ...

Is My Onkyo Receiver's Tuner Dead or Just Playing Posum?
I tried using the radio next to a window, with two antennas (AM/FM) and zilch, nada, nothing. Tried headphones -nothing. The tuner seems to be working so the amp section must be bad (or it's something simple I haven't found yet). Still works great... 
Regards Apollo R vs. Saturn (used)
