Digital coax from CD player to DAC, RCA or BNC-RCA?
For me BNC connectors are the best. I'm not a big fan of adapters, but if you cannot replace the RCA's with BNC's on both the cable and equipment, then Sliver Shadow would probably be a good option. I have found that the connectors are usually the... 
Sony TA-E77ESD Preamp Not Working
If it were me, I'd try operating all switches and controls a few time to see if it might be a poor switch contact. If that doesn't work, take the cover off and look for any connectors that may have come loose during the move. Sony typically uses a...

Room Acoustic Treatment
I was pleasantly surprised by vicoustic products. Worth a look, I'm now using them.

VARIAC: Procedure??? 2 old 30 wpc tube amps, unused for 4 years
I agree with jea48 and totem395. Four years isn't very long really for new caps, I doubt you will have any problems. I have a variac and use it often on old equipment. For me, I wouldn't even use it for these Fishers if what you're saying is accur... 
Economical CD Transport - Thoughts?
Cambridge Audio was good when it worked. Never tried Audiolab. 
Considering ditching 5.1 for a soundbar; suggestions?
I've purged my entire surround sound system from the house. Now only use 2 channel for both main room and bedrooms for all program material. Subs only in the main listening room. Sound bar just didn't cut it for me, even in the bedroom. 
How to tell if Raidho ribbon tweeter is damaged?
Heat gun... Danger, danger Wil Robinson. 
What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary?
I'm still learning about charge coupled networks.

OP, very cool, thanks. 
Strata mini company AV123. Please help!!!
You need to unsolder the capacitors in order to really test them correctly. A service manual would be nice to have. If it were me, I would replace all electrolytic capacitors. It sounds like a shorted cap if the replacement transistors are getting...
