| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer You need a better AC power conditioner. It's possible that it's the transformer, but I would put my money on DC on your AC power line. There are good DC blockers and not so good, best wishes. | |
| 20 year old power center from monster, Circuits still OK? Monster stuff does work but you can get better, not worth repairing. The thing I didn't like is the cheap case that would vibrate during heavy bass passages. It was audible so I recommend an upgrade. | |

I thought it was the best thing when I discovered it after frying my tweeters but after a while, I found out how bad that stuff actually is. Much greater improvement than chan... | |
| What music would you like at your funeral? Mazzy Star - Still Cold from Among My Swan. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? mijostyn - I like the way you think😎 although I have many more mistakes. For audio, selling my SAE X-25A. | |
| 2 specific questions about shipping 42 lb speakers within US I would not use anything against the driver cones just use plastic wrap. One-inch Styrofoam should be sufficient but 2" better, 42lbs. is not that heavy. I've not used the shipping company you've specified but FedEx has been better than UPS for me. |
