What sub under a grand?
Ivan reminded me that I had a similar problem. Stated less well than he did, the wires from the internal amplifier to the speaker terminals had basically shifted inside the subwoofer, after about 15 years of use. So the wires actually rested close... 
Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
Now that I see your pictures, agree with you, the speakers are two completely diffent colors. The speakers were sold to be used with no grills, how they could have been shipped like this can only be explained with the WTF excuse someone mentioned ... 
Jadem6 stumbled... but hasn't fallen. Yet.

Tube pre amp problem?? Help??
I thought RW was just trying to be a little funny. Not being serious as you took it. 
Live Performances Gone Awry
I went to see the Chambers Brothers in Boston sometime in the late 60's and only a couple of the "original" band members showed. I have seen a lot of concerts and this one rates at the top of the uninspired list. 
Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers
Actually, almost all of the songs on the album are great. I saw them perform in Boston way back when, but not all of the band members were there. 
Sorry, a question about the Sony SCDXA5400ES.
Not to get off course, but I have searched and not really found much directly comparing the oppo 83se and the sony 5400. This would be interesting. 
Best turntable setup for under $300
Tvad, I hear you. I purchased some fine Museatex equipment off eBay from John Wright, way back when, what a gentleman. 
Best turntable setup for under $300
Don't buy any gear off eBay, its too risky. A month ago I purchased a Dynaco ST-70 on eBay from an individual that regularly sells modified ST-70s here on Agon. He described in great detail in the ad that the unit was in totally excellent conditio... 
Best short-lived band?
? Mark and the Mysterians. Who performed 96 Tears, which is one great tune. 
It's been said before, but I'll say it again...
Its not true about Audiogon. But I'll give you $200 including shipping to Siberia for whateva your selling. 
The dumbest thing you ever did to your stereo?
Played frisby with woofer having a rotted surround. One day before learning that speakers could be reconed and that manufacturer had sold last original equipment replacement woofer one month earlier. Ouch, ouch, ouch. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Walter, live long and prosper.George 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I initially read the glowing reviews of the Supratek and just naturally assumed they were unbiased. After reading the way some of you attacked the two posters who were just asking for help in resolving system issues I now realize that many of you ... 
My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix?
My transport/dac is a different brand but every once in a while it will get tempermental for no apparent reason and not read or skip on certain cd's. Usually but not always they will be cd's that I burned myself. Then again for no reason it will j...
