Leave an amp "on" permanetly
When I bought my Kell, the tech lad at the factory said not to leave it on all the time. Of course try not to turn it on & off three or four times a day. 24 hours to stabalize sounds a bit exorbitant to me. I turn mine on, put on some tunes, d... 
"Great RCA interconnects under $100?"
I use Monster IR Ref. II for all my interconnects except for the XLR. This is with Krell equipment. I have tried others at 5 times the $ and alwasy went back to the Monster.They work perfect fo me @ $90 per 1-meter length.Good luck, John 
Crank it up just once

LP "Cutouts"
Sarmarks in the corner of a CD case!? Nah, that's just from me trying to get the darn thing open!-John 
Tripping Breakers
The breaker is a good choice. Also if you are using the "thin" style breakers, (these are the ones that fit two to a socket) they will work poorly. If it is a GFI type breaker they work poorly and die frequently. You may have to try more than one ... 
Anyone remember The Warehouse?
Now you folks lossened some old neurons. I purchased my Sansui 8080 from Pacific Stereo in the mid 70's. Played the daylights out of it until about five years ago. Now my daughter has it and is still jammin' in her apt. while she attends her 2nd y... 
Two-channel SACD player recommendations?
Ditto on the Sony product. Mine is a SCD333 & it sounds "cleaner than a Safeway chicken" on my Krell system. Never a problemo' nor a hiccup. Good luck, John 
Best way to clean CD player lens?
So do you do yours by using a slim nozzle and spraying in the genreal area of the lens? I feel the air would not hurt anything. Have you done it?-John 
Best way to clean CD player lens?
I like the answers. Yes it is clean inside, but I live in a very rural area which does have alot of dust. Near the high desert in So. Cal. Some Cd's have been chocking lately but perhaps it is their condition.Happy Holidays & thanks! -John 
Sony SCD-1 Weight
If the seller has a FedEx account then they go off the weight of the shipper. It is up to the shipper to determine the weight and then fill in the blanks of the way bill. If the seller took it to a FedEx drop off point then it would have been weig... 
Jethro Tull
Tull has always been my favorite artist. Unfortunately they have been one of the worst for sound quality. I agree that the Xmas album is awesome along with the live Aqualung. Finally some fidelity! I never understood what Mr. Anderson was thinking... 
Your favorite prog rock music? ?
Unbelievable ! I thought I was the only one who listened to these classic relics! Someone else owns a PFM LP? Anyone else own "Scarlet Rivera"? -JohnPS - Awesome thread. Now I don't feel so alone... 
DEFINITIVE TECH TRINITY SIG. SUBWOOFER
I am glad you asked. I have the same basic question and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there that I can find. There are hardly ever any used ones for sale on this site. Is it because they are so good or so bad? I do see that Magnolia A...

Just like Phyllis Diller, my system is just "broken in".That term always cracked me up in regards to cables.-John
