| My power amp ARC VT 100 keeps blowing tube First off, I never use KT88's in ARC products. That being said, I'm guessing you have a problem underneath V16 tube socket, or the tube socket itself is bad. The problem is not necessarily setting the bias on VT100's, the issue is setting up the b... | |
| Which amps cannot be repaired locally? Schubert is correct. I found Spectral to be downright rude when I tried to service one of their preamps. It had a shorted transistor in it. I was basically told if I worked on it, they would be able to tell, and would never work on the unit again. | |
| German "plug and play" turntable Find a turntable that has a tonearm that allows you to raise and lower its height. That way you are not stuck with one particular cartridge | |
| Contact info of Steve Huntley You would want the ALC40 series as those caps are rated at 105C if they are available... | |
| Hafler DH-220 problems Depending on where the DC offset adjust is, it could either be an output transistor or transistors in that amp. I believe they're FETs. Or it could also be an input device, usually the input differential (pair) of transistors are matched, if their... | |
| Contact info of Steve Huntley I will give you my 2 cents. The problem is that, generally speaking, the twist lock caps that came with the amp, hence the hole pattern on the circuit board, were pretty awful caps. The new caps are much better as they are not twist lock caps but ... | |

| Opinions on ICL, Inrush Current Limiter Atmasphere..it was a joke. | |
| Opinions on ICL, Inrush Current Limiter Not necessary at all. The D90/D115 do not need an inrush limiter. They have line fuses....The D90 originally had a relay and in some instances proved to be a problem. I have removed them with no ill effects. Both the D90 and the D115 use a tube vo... | |

| Audio Research Ref 250s for Magnepan 20.1s? Ref250's are awesome amps and I definitely recommend them. | |

| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? You might wish to try a JJ E83CC or better yet an E803s I think it is. Very low noise tube. Did you not change the gain by changing to a 12AU7? You may just need some good low noise resistors around that set of tubes rather than change to a 12AU7.... | |
| Passing of James Bongiorno Tbg, I agree. But a wire isn't just a wire. It's a resistive wire, and possibly a capacitive wire as well. |
