My main system is the Bose Wave Radio. Is it medication time, yet? 
Trivista remote performance
Ah, remote control problems! I agree with Thsalmon, one of the easiest problems to fix, but very few ever check their remote batteries. I got caught myself a few times with this problem! Also, if you happen to have sunlight hitting the remote sens...

Hey Slappy, what's the most expensive speaker that you can "buy"?Ans: Speaker of the House! Bada-bing, Bada-bong!

Thsalmon, LIGHTEN UP! It's still a free country, for a little while, anyway. If you don't like what your reading, the just don't read it, instead of asking for a deletion of this thread! Go play some of your favorite tunes, have your favorite drin...

Slipknot1, I think it's a "mean-spirited right wing Republican conspiracy" as Hillary would say! And be careful what you say about our beloved (may he live for a 1000 years) Herr Ashcroft! The Feds are probably on their way to YOUR home this very ... 
Regarding 78's
Be careful with record cleaning solutions! I seem to remember that cleaners for 78's should not contain alcohol, and the mixing proportions with distilled water might be different. CHECK WITH THE CLEANING SOLUTION'S MANUFACTURER!

"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey
Monkey Island by J. Geils.

I agree with the other posts. This flimsy stand would be great for a dorm room, with a low-end, light weight system. With your plan, I fear that the stand would be 'top-heavy', a recipe for disaster! 
Speakers for Classical and Rock in large space.
What is your price range for speakers? 
Where to go from here? upping the tube ante
Budrew, if those are the "Mullards" that are mil-spec in white boxes marked as CV4004 KQDD/K that is part of your problem. These tubes are CRAP from the 1980's, that do not have the same wonderful sonics as real NOS Mullards from the 1970's and ea...

What are you using as your 12AX7 tube upgrade? What 12AX7's were you using before?

Ozfly, yes it is beautiful. But the manufacturer states that the platter is "...made from exotic hardwoods and generously loaded with lead shot." I think that most wives, after seeing the price tag of over 6 grand, would "generously load their spo...
