Anyone have remote for Acrurus Act 1?
My daughter, when she was way young, put my Cal Audio remote in a glass of 7UP. Immersed, it was. It dried out and worked. Good luck either way. 
short cable length: does cable "quality" matter?
That does it....I'm going to Home Depot. 
Shipping vinyl in the summer heat
I call my daughter everyday at 11:30am, to remind her to get the mail. Then I wait on the phone while she goes out. That way she doesn't forget ( she is 14). Records have been packed as described above. So far, so good. 
Point of diminishing returns
Some years ago, I saw a graph on the relationship of dollars spent to sonic improvement in speakers. Every dollar spent yielded a straight vertical improvement in sound, up to $1200.00, where the graph started to curve, showing less and less sonic... 
Make fun of me...I destroyed my amplifier. ID10T.
Ok...now, now...you are not alone, neither in doing the same thing or feeling stupid for doing so. I did it with my Acurus amp, which was not, apparently, as complicated as your Pioneer. So, I was able to replace a fuse and move on. The good news....

Playing REALLY old records
I have been looking into playing old 78's lately, and in doing so, it was suggested that old records made of shellac are way different than those made of vinyl, and may do damage to the stylus on my cartridge on my VPI. Since that would be an expe...

Cheap amp $300 to use with Vandersteen 2ces
Acurus A150 sounded real good when I auditioned said Vandersteens with a Melos 111B preamp. 
Paradigm 100 v1 vs 80 v2
The 100's were way better than the 80's in the version 1 series from what I remember hearing. I have had the original 100's since they came out and have had several more expensive speakers on trial that didn't beat them. I very recently brought ho...
