Help troubleshooting amp
i'm sure you already have, but check the fuses on your amp. you probably have a bad 6550 as mentioned which caused your fuses to blow. good luck. 
Acurus ACT-3 volume knob question
well, next to buying a new act-3 just for the knob, i think your best bet is to locate a local machine shop and give them the specs needed to make you a new knob. otherwise, just check around and see what you can put in there that'll work. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
slowhand:i too am anxiously awaiting more info on this amp. your comment from last week about a $3000 price point had me all giddy inside. last time i emailed mick, he said nothing was definite yet as he was still testing longevity. i'll have to w...

Preamp Deal of the Century
Lrsky:Build quality seems excellent to me. The unit has a solid feel to it. That said, I'm sure if I dropped it, it wouldn't fair to well. My unit shipped packaged very rigidly in a large Fedex shipping box. You should have no concerns regarding t... 
Q Bias for Cary SLI-80
emailing cary yields hit or miss responses. actually pick up the telephone and call them. you'll get a lot more information this way. 
Anyone care to comment on Orb Audio?
Can't comment on sound quality as I've never heard them. However, they offer a 30 day in home trial. Plus they are running a flat $9 shipping sale at this time. If you don't like them, you're only out shipping both ways which can't be more than $3... 
Q Bias for Cary SLI-80
i think you can use pretty much any octal based pentode in the sli-80. i'm using kt90 in my cary monos. i would suggest you adjust the bias within the range and see which you prefer the most. honestly, the best way to answer your questions is to c... 
Any every hear of Ram Electronics speaker cable?
They're just standard Canare 4S11 Star Quad cables. You can get the raw cable from most any place that sells Canare products. They can't do anything to it that you couldn't do yourself cheaper. Get some techflex and heat shrink tubing and you'll h... 
Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
I sent my 5900 in for the DL3 upgrade. Turn around time was pretty good in my opinion. From the time I shipped the unit until the time I got it back was about 4 weeks. This is my only experience with Denon service. Hopefully, it will be my last. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
So last night I was listening to some music and noticed my left speaker was making a hissing / spitting sound during quiet passages. After checking all the tubes in my monoblocks, I realized that the culprit was the EH 6SN7 in my Chardonnay. I was... 
Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?
i have a 4.0 system using gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20 in the front and mirage frx-r for rears. however, i wouldn't totally classify it as a high-end home theater. it's a high-end two channel system with a mid-fi home theater around it (de... 
My oh my....guys check this out
looks kinda interesting, but at $12,900 i think i'll pass. 
Acurus or Parasound
steve donaldson from aragon can still repair acurus equipment. he is a moderator on the klipsch website forum. i owned an acurus 200five amp. it was a great amp for the price. bignerd100 is right though, pre-klipsch aragon was much better. my acur...
