| Converting from 230v to 110 v I went the other way from 115V/60 Hz to 230V/50Hz when I moved overseas 18 months ago. It’s not so much the voltage that can’t be converted it’s the Hz which translates to the cd running at the proper speed. First of all, check to see if the CD ... | |
| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures In a day and age where a stereo transaction can be a very impersonal thing done via emails and pictures only, pictures really matter and greatly help to give the buyer a sense comfort. I’ve been in this hobby 40 years and have no problem buying s... | |
