| How to interpret the readings from tube tester? A more pertinent question is how does one know the tube tester is accurate/calibrated? As far as what is left in the tube, the Gm readings will give you a feel of the tube, not any with definite certainty of what's left in it. A good way to figure... | |
| Power problem causing drop-out in surround sound Off the top of my head, sounds like there may be low voltage arcing SOMEWHERE in your wiring system; affects digital, computers, etc., more than resistive or motor loads so its hard to pin down, i.e. a light plugged into the offending outlet might... | |
| Definitive Beethoven's 9th recording The best performance on a recording? Hard to say. Try Karajan (1977 as well as the '63), '89 Bernstein, '87 Solti, '51 Furtwangler, or Klemperer if your looking for performance without the sonic gymnastics. Newbee is right - there is no one defini... | |
| Bach Brandenberg Concertos CD Recommendation The Academy of Ancient Music, Christopher Hogwood, onDecca LÂOiseau-Lyre. Played on period instruments. Might not have the "speed" that you may be used to hearing for these works, but an otherwise excellent CD vis-a-vis sonics and performance. | |

| Where have all the protest songs gone? War, famine, homelessness...shame. Let someone sing about it. Heaven forbid you get off your ass to do something about it. Listen to a song, and feel better knowing that just by doing so, you care. Then go drop $2 grand for a power cord while you ... | |
| Where to buy fuse for fuse panel? Is this new panel for fuses or circuit breakers? Where did you get it? Send me an email with the info on the inside front cover (if you can scan the installation sheet even better) and I'll get back to you with specifics. | |

| Why do AC cords make so much difference? The better ones do a good job of filtering out common mode noise from electrical and magnetic fields and also filter noise from equipment (digital) to the outside. But not surprising, some of the cheaper ones can do as good of a job, if not better... | |
| Fuses on dedicated lines instead of breakers ??? Running wire(s) from the panel to your "fuse box" might be against code as these wires do not have overcurrent protection. With very few exceptions, the entire length of any branch wire must be protected starting from the main panel unless your lo... | |
| Where to buy fuse for fuse panel? Is your fuse panel old? If it is, you probably have the newer S-Type fuses and are attempting to place them in Edison base fuse holders. S-types are smaller in diameter for a given amp rating than an Edison. Go to a Home Depot, ask for "Edison Bas... | |
| Center image on left side and don't know why Curious to know what a Radio Shack SPL meter set up one foot from each speaker with a test signal (e.g., Stereophile Test CD bass, mid and treble decades) would read. | |
