Double Sided CD won't read
It's very common that DualDiscs won't work in all cd players, there's usually even a statement of that fact right on the case. The only one that I own actually works in my home player, a two year old Tube Technology player, but not in my car. It m... 
nuvistors for Musical Fidelity NuVista CD player
I'm pretty sure that MF held back a backup pair for each unit produced and the US importer or manufacturer should be able to help with procuring them. I would be surprised that they would be needed anytime soon though, I thought the life span was ...

If it smokes just remember not to bogart it! Sorry couldn't resist. Honestly since it's just a simple volume control I don't think you really have anything to worry about. Good luck!

I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing
I would have to recommend Vu and his crew at Deja Vu Audio in Mclean Virginia just outside of DC. They are incredibly nice, friendly guys who just love to talk audio and music. Their store is a haven for tubes and analog, and the custom built stuf... 
Why so many Rotel RCD-1072 players for sale ?
It's cheap and entry level! First step then move on puts many on the market. Don't let it scare you.

Royy,I would have to say, for 20 bucks, who cares?! I mean really, at that price why not just give it a try. If you hate it, put the old volume control back in and go on with your life! Happy listening! 
New law forbidding the sale of used gear Japan
What! That is the most absurd thing that I've ever heard! It's obvious that the enormous and powerful makers of consumer electronics have flexed their political muscles. What a shame. Oh well I'm sure that certain motivated and enterprising folks ... 
Modwright CD player problem...HELP
There you go, it's a 60 cycle hum related to cable, if it was gone when you disconnected it that's it. I would guess that when you hooked up the Arcam cable wasn't involved, hence no problem. Get a signal isolator, Mondial makes something called t... 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
Gram Parsons is the gold standard, his stuff with and without the Byrds is classic. Also classi are the albums by Uncle Tupelo, particularly No Depression. There are many other great performers, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Gilli... 
Do Audiophiles really like music?
Dude I love music!!!!! More than anything. I followed the Dead around to 65 or so shows, I followed Phish around to about 50 shows. I wanted a great stereo my whole life and when I was finally when I was finally able to afford one I went for it. F... 
Any John Hartford fans?
Woops I forgot, I agree with Mt10425 I love Aeroplane! 
How do you know if you need a power conditioner?
To elaborate on my experience I was getting very good results with a Chang Lightspeed device, and I was surprised when I took it out and inserted a simple Wiremold power strip the sound actually improved. High's seemed more extended and the sound ... 
Any John Hartford fans?
I'm one! 
How do you know if you need a power conditioner?
I would have to say that you know if you put one in and then take it out and the sound worsens. That's about it. As the Brit hifi mags like to say, you've got to suck it and see. Happy listening!
