I think that's what he had in mind?If the plugs aren't polarized,try reversing one of them too.Just another thought.

I don't see why most monitors couldn't be used in the home.Some may be too ugly for wife approval,but otherwise,why not.I hope this doesn't start a big new thread although I haven't seen a lot of monitors.

It doesn't sound like the speakers because both started at thesame time. Try the interconnects into a preamp,or even a walk man type cd player,any source with a volume control. Try it with the new source unplugged from the outlet too.That might sh...

Maybe a shop/dealer that's been around for a long time selling upper end gear.If they don't work on your brand,they might have a good shop to go to.A dealer in my area that could be trusted with anything retired.Nobody bought his business most lik...

At least you didn't pay $420 for something unknown.Even if you gave them the $420,you still might have an amp that needs new caps.There are a lot of shops out there looking for easy money.That makes it harder for the true good shops.

Tube help

Room for discussion?
If your speakers are to big to move there for a trial,maybe you can try a smaller pair in your present and new room.Use a receiver or something basic to compare the rooms sonic signature.You might get a starter idea of what the room might sound li... 
Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing?
I forgot to mention,how many single albums have we bought thathas just that one song we wanted.Then we get it home to listento it only to find out the engineer did a bad job,and the restof the songs are lousy.That to me is a real ripoff.It happens... 
Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing?
All of us have different preference's.The main thing to me isgetting a high quality recording.If you get a lot of enjoymentout of it,I think it's worth it.Same goes for our audio gear.
