| Need a recommendation on an interim power amp The Heresy's will run on 5-10 watts nicely. Pick up a class T amp? Part-express has them for $40-100. What part of the country are you in? Maybe another member will lend you their back up amp? | |

| Poor sound from rental Blu-Ray discs I just had a friend over who works in the film industry in LA. He confirmed that we are NOT getting everything from many rentals (ie Netflix). You will see/hear a difference when comparing a rental to a full store bought blueray. However, he was i... | |

| Older is better - D/A chip? That old magnavox is famous for modding. The transport is almost impossible to replace. Mod squad and others loved it 20 years ago. | |
| Intermittent bass The weight on the cartridge could be the culprit. Too lihht may rob you of bass. It will show more on loud passages and possibly certain points on the album due to tracking. | |
| Multichanneled amp question? As long as no signal is going into the unused channels. This actually cut the strain on the power supply. | |

| is there a way to tighten pins in tube sockets? The hum and unstable bias just might be due to poor contacts on the pins. Bend them a little if you can, then get some contact cleaner and clean the pins and sockets. Put the tubes back in and you may not need to send these to VAC??? | |
