| Bookshelf dilemma Headphones. Or trade in significant other who doesn't allow floor standers. | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers Sounds like a troll post. $30K budget is low? Definitely a first-world problem. No dealer willing to work with you on that budget, or do you just like trolling forums to stir the pot a bit? If you've really got an array of REL subs, why are yo... | |
| What's a good amount of time to have my preamp unplugged before I swap out tubes? If you grab it and get a third-degree burn, it is too soon! | |

| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k +1 @elangley01 Salk has a number of different bookshelf-size offerings that would fit your "sound plus appearance" criteria. | |

Otherwise I just ignore everything more than a year old unless I really want ... | |
| tone arm with 10gr mass with 15 gram weight cartridge? Shucks. Ah jest tapes a penny to the top of the headshell and calls it good. (Oh wait, it's no longer April 1st, is it?) | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? Hmmm. Still using my tubes purchased almost 20 years ago. Fools rush in. | |

| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Ya puts the fuse on a perfectly level surface plate, then flick one end with the nail of your right index figure. If it flies off the surface plate and breaks on the floor, you've got a bad fuse. Better luck next time. If it stays on the surfac... |
