DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ??
I doubt if you did a blind level-matched listening test to the three DAC's listed you would be able to tell them apart. DAC's have such low noise/distortion and low-level linearity that they can be considered sonically neutral. None of these subje... 
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.  
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.
