Selling dispute. Please comment.
Since this is the most anal hobby known to man I would be a bit bent if something didnt come with the manual. I always like to have the original boxes, manuals & if possible original purchase receipt or copy of the receipt. It makes me feel th... 
How to avoid being scammed?
Another royal PIA is if it's over $2500 US $ you must do an SED (Shippers export delaration). If its not done correctly the product is held up somewhere until it is straightend out. We avoid this at work by only shipping to a freight forwarder her... 
Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
The local FM stations have burned me out on a plethora of good songs and artists. Now that I listen to internet radio it's not nearly as bad as it was. I can hear a song that I deplore on internet radio thrown in behind some songs and/or artists I... 
Whole house re-wiring question
Speaking from experience( I am not an electrician although my brother is and he helped me considerably):Run flex throught the walls everywhere and anywhere you are even considering running wires. If you do not use some of them so what? Put a blank... 
Best Methods For Removing Dust From Drivers...?
Brf. Perfect! Same way I clean the dust off my amp. Turn it up till it burns off. -John 
Krell
I had a KSA200S that Krell re-capped. Came back with 2ea black & 2ea blue. That was ok. Problem was FedX dropped it and half the components inside came apart. Ever seem a growm man cry? That was the day.-John 
Budget USB cable?
My Benchmark came with a "Plain Jane" Monoprice cable. Swapped it out for a hi-falootin one from my brother for a weekend. No difference. Good enough for Benchmark, good enough for me.Good luck,John 
Favorite album art?
My favorite list is long. But Ralph Steadman did some artwork on a couple Ambrosia albums I've always admired. And of course the many listed above. I've often thought Brain Salad by Geiger would be awesome for helmet graphics. Happy 4th to all, John 
Best recorded rock song ?
No best in my book, but on the top rung with others, "Great Gig In The Sky", by Floyd. 30 years and it still sends chills down my spine and puts a grin on my face.-John 
Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons
In the theme of the original poster: If silver accentuates the highs, does copper strengthen the low notes? If one is looking for a cable material for bass enhancement what whould that be?-John 
Add Sub Woofer
I had a KRC2 prior to my KCT. I would hook the amp VIA XLR (balanced) and use the RCA's to the sub if it has that type of connectors. Good luck, John 
LP's and music at the recent NY Show
I was not there but I would like to hear what vinyl you thought is worth owning.Also your Infinity speakers are awesome. I have Ren 90's so I can only imagine what the RS's are like.-John 
Mirror for cartridge set up?
My brother has the MintLP version and we checked my setup after using the Turntable basics version just cause we could. No adjustment was necessary. Plus it was $110.00 in lieu of $20 for the TB version. Hey, it worked for me.good luck,JD 
Mirror for cartridge set up?
Turntable Basics version works great. As a bonus I can slip it behind my pre-amp so I can find & see the recepticles when pluging in cables. -JD 
How long daes it take your gear to warm up?
As long as we're on the subject, does anyone warm their equipment up slow like a cold car engine? Or just crank the piss outa' it until you smell the dust frying? I let it warm up with an album/cd or 2 first. I’m always paranoid of frying anything...
