| Used Rogue Audio Cronos - any warnings? I love my Rogue; I paid $1300 on the 'gon. They are available routinely. The meter is sort of free standing and sticks up through a hole in the top; shouldn't be a problem. If the transformer paint issue is due to moisture Id run away - i.e. rust.... | |

| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? I have one in the attic, but haven't used it in years. A cousin has just offered us a collection of prerecorded reel tapes and we're wondering if we should take them. | |
| System Help I'm using the Rogue Cronus - list $1895. Its 55 - 70 WPC (depending on tubes used) would drive the SF just fine. It has a built in phono amp that is adequate and a headphone jack for low impedence phones like Grados. | |

| Which Turntable For Temporary Use/ please read You're comparing 3 very different machines. Your question is asking about very old vintage and vintage - Garrard/Linn/Thorens.Were it me, I'd use the budget on a new Rega P3 with a good cartridge and power supply unit.

| Good beginner tube amp suggestions Sophia baby electric was what I tried first - $350 used, but it provided a LOT of what I get through a much more expensive amp now. | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones the amp uses 4 slow blow fuses; 1 for each EL34, .250 mv and Rat Shack doesn't carry 'em. | |

| Neutral el-34 .re-issue o/p tube for Jolida 302b. I favor the EH EL34's.Other tubes I've tried sounded different, but nothing sounded better. (Using Rogue Cronus) | |
| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? I don't think #5 is true, but #6 definitely IS true. I've been at this hobby for 45 years + (since I was about 16 and started building).
