Tube testers for 6922, 12ax7, etc, etc,
Thanks guys for the info, I have been doing some searching over at AA and many say don't buy off ebay as there most likely needing calibration and internal parts, is this true? If I were to buy one and it needed work who does repairs and calibrati... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Power Condtioners
I don't have a line 3 but do own a sfl-2 and use a power director and a power plant p-500 with no problems. I don't care for the multi-wave settings and run mine on sine wave. There have been some mention on the PS Audio web site about the fuses b...

What should be the terms between buyer and seller
Good advise given so far but it's not a 100% gauranteed that all will work out! There are only two things that matter with this deal, the seller getting his/her money and you getting the speakers, simple! A few things that could go wrong, shipper ... 
starting from just about scratch w/ $600 to spend
You may want to consider the VPI jr as they sell for around $500 used with arm and cartridge. The jr has good upgrade potential as the Music hall tables don't besides the VPI sounds better but this is just my opinion. There are many $100-$200 phon... 
Cream live Royal albert CD / LP
Both CD and LP versions are great! Nice to see them back together for this. I can't decide if I like the vinyl or CD better as there are a few cuts I like better on CD and some better on the vinyl, anyways some of the better older stuff released l... 
Tube Rolling on a Symphones + audio experience
Nick, I use the Concerto plus phono and it has the same tube configuration. My favorites are early 60s Amperex white label 12ax7 then the Amperex orange globes are also pretty good with just a tad bit less warmth, next are the new Tube groove mull... 
Affordable anti-jitter device
On paper these devises work but in real life, well I have been disapointed and I owned the Sonic Frontiers jitter bug and the Monarchy DIP, sold both few weeks later. As I mentioned in another thread that they do give you a bit more detail but mes... 
20 amp dedicated lines
I think the only way to find and solve your problem is to do some process of elimination things, first I'd move the amps close to the speakers and try some Rat Shack 12 gauge speaker wire just to see if thoses 35' wires are causing problems, next ... 
Tyler Accoustics Lynbrook system ones
Agree with above, very difficult to really hear the end result at a dealer, and most prefer not loaning them out but a few will if you have a good relation with them. When I bought me first pair of Tylers I was going mostly on the good press as th... 
custom made dustcover for Nottingham Spacedeck
Tap Plastics is correct as mentioned above and they did a fantastic job and for under a $100. Tap Plastics is in California and they will make and ship what ever you want. I just gave the info to another agoner and he lives on the east coast, Tap ... 
Sonic Frontiers Ultra Jitterbug Processor
Don't waste your money, even on a low quality CD/Dac combo the improvements are noting to write home about and forget using it on a higher end CD/Dac combo. Iv'e tried on both and with the lower end combo it seem to give the higher freq. a cleaner... 
Has anyone had a Shelter 501 retipped?
I don't think you can get them retiped. 
Pros and Cons of the Music Hall MMF-7
Dreadhead, I use to own a VPI jr and something that works good is to apply some lead wieght around the inside of the base, not the plinth. I used lead wieghts that the tire places use to balance your tires, they are flat pieces of lead with a stic...
