Proac Original Response 2 VS Response 3

Svetlana vs Mullard EL-34's
I couldnt agree with Rives more, I too have tried both and feel that the trouble involved in finding a tightly matched quad isnt worth the hassle. My amp (Air Tight ATM 1) requires tightly matched quads and the ones you find here and on ebay may b...

High End Fuses?
doing what tireguy has said was a tweak that many with nerves of steel have done, ive been told it makes a sonic difference, however of course there are potential catastrophic risks.... 
Why do people selling on E Bay "USE" Audiogon?
isnt the point of Poster question people placing ads here on Audiogon for something and then linking the ad to an Ebay Auction?....if so, yeah, it is pretty annoying, but another way to expose the ad to a bigger audience..

XM or Sirius Radio??

Is a audiophila suicid to ship 150lbs overseas ?
just shipped a 70 lb CJ amp to Singapore from Calif, only casualty was 1 output tube. would suggest you go the extra mile and overpack, it will add a few lbs to the package, but well worth eliminating shipping damage.
