| Issue with Krell KSA-250 Caps don't buzz! Transformers do. That amp needs a new transformer. | |
| Issue with Krell KSA-250 It's the power transformer. Can you still play music through the speakers? | |
| Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000 @deep_333 +1 The OP can buy two more SB-1000 subs and place them behind him as you suggest. This is the sub swarm concept. Spending $2K is a waste of money when the OP already has a capable pair of subs. A swarm of four or six subs will give smoot... | |
| 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. | |

| Burn Twetter Speaker Reduce the volume level or get an amp with 200wpc. | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? I have a Sanei 260A 2A3 stereo amp made in Japan with all Tango transformers. I won it on an EBay auction for $1350, shipping included from Japan. The iron is the most important part of a single-end tube amp. Tango makes the best transformers. | |
| Turntable suggestions for a newbie @zufan +1 I bought the PLX1000 to satisfy my curiosity about how good it is after reading Herb Reichert's review in Stereophile. I need another turntable like I need a hole in my head! I bought mine from Music Direct for $799. This is hands- down... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update As I texted on Jay's Audio Lab on Facebook "Nobody needs a million dollar system". | |
| A lesson in Exotica De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum. More fun to listen to than the Sheffield Drum Record! | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 I'd buy and use the C4 and M2 pair. Low noise, low distortion and significantly more power than the Brio. Plus having a separate preamp gives you the option of an upgrade later. I have a Yamaha preamp in my collection and liked it. | |
| Audio Innovations Series 800 SUT - looking for info Ah, the joys of SUT ownership! I have several. I never bothered with the specs. They all sound different, as do the mc cartridges. |
