Success with Gaylord / Legend audio at home?
I had purchased a phono stage =from another local member here and he had the Legend Speakers in his system. I had also heard the Legend room at the San Francisco HE 2003 show, I felt the Legend room was one of the best I heard. Anyways, the person...

Whatever happened to these brands?
Scientific Fidelty was Mike Maloney and I believe he still works in the Biz. If you can find me a pair of the Sci Fi Crown Joule 24k monitor speakers, Id be a very happy man 
international buyer,
You can check a prior thread I authored last week regarding PayPal. I would say the ONLY way to ensure you are 100% safe is to ask the buyer to send the money to you via Western Union. When you see the Nigerian scam artists using Western Union as ... 
Powering off Equipment-Silly question
thanks for the responses, the person I bought it from emailed me the solution, however the Power Button actually popped out on its own sometime this afternoon. Sean, I do not leave the amp on, the tubes are mucho expensive, and the amp draws lots ... 
Best way to ship small value items--US to Canada??
I just shipped a package to Canada via USPS. It was a Line conditioner. Shipping with USPS is simple especially if it weighs less than 6 lbs, you fill out 1 Form. If it weighs more than 6 lbs, or has a significant value, or contains unusal items o... 
ARS Tubes
Newbee was 100% correct, ARS was an outfit in the 80s-90s based in So Cal. My understanding is that with Power tubes they simply matched and sorted common current production tubes such as Chinese, Russian, Yugo tubes. I cannot say for 100% certain... 
pre amp for Air Tight ATM3 monos.
my suggestion is to not use a separate preamp and simply use the volume controls on the Atm3s. While, my 3's have upgraded volume pots, I still have not been able to find a preamp which does not colour the sound of the 3s in a negative way.

Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available?
RHLjazz--that is for the 572-30, not the 572-3, I believe they are different and in the Cary at least are not compatible. 
Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available?
surprisingly i called the dealer who is selling the amp and he directed me to NewSensor who lists this tube as available @$60 a tube. I tried to call them to see if this is a situation where they haven't updated their website, and of course i was ... 
Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available?
thanks for confirming what I had suspected...I too owned the Cary 572 monos...i wasn't bowled over by them....I was thinking about a VIVA Sintesi amp which uses the same output tube but will have to pass, don't want to be stuck with an amp w/o out...
