Canor owners…I’d like to hear your thoughts
Never heard of this company.  
Melco N10/2 DC power cable
Do you really want to spend $1000 for a few feet of wire? Keep believing the blarney of the wire fanatics!  
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A troubles
@pwerahera +1 Good suggestion! Buy and try a new set of 6922's before returning the preamp. The joys of tube gear ownership!  
Technics EPC-100C mk4 questions
Get at least a Shibata. It is a proven long-contact profile shape!  
NOS Amperex 211 vacuum tube
A thousand a pair which would be the most common use in a SET stereo amp.  
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
I have a 55" Sharp from Best Buy in 2015 -$577. I stand and watch it about 12 to 15 feet back. It is on a long narrow black cabinet with drawers. No speakers near the TV. All HiFi gear along the left side wall. The Sharp looks real good - no desir... 
Issue with Krell KSA-250
Since the AC fuse didn't blow it is not drawing excess current.

Who remembers California Audio Labs?
I have a CAL CD player I bought on EBay. The seller either didn't know or neglected to tell me it doesn't work. I put it aside until I get around to fixing it. So far I suspect the on/off switch as it won't turn on/light up.  
Who knew?
Tearing down and rebuilding a V8 engine I’d have a hard time with. Setting up a Linn Sondek no problem! Mine is an older one (1980’s-90's?) and has a Grace 707 arm. I don’t bother with the upgrades because in stock form it sounds excellent!  
McIntosh MC-2301 Tube Replacements
KT88's vs. 6550's? Six of one, half dozen of the other!  
McIntosh MC-2301 Tube Replacements
I would test those McIntosh output tubes for emissions. I bet they still have a lot of life left! If so, no need to rush to replace them! Ditto for the 12AT7's.  
AR XA turntable needs new cartridge...
If your AR has the original plastic head shell then you cannot make adjustments (overhang, offset angle). I have an AR turntable from Vinyl Nirvana modified with a Technics head shell and arm tube on the AR arm. This allows for overhang and offset...
