| VARIAC: Procedure??? 2 old 30 wpc tube amps, unused for 4 years One simple solution is to use an inrush current limiter. You just plug your amplifier into it and flip the switch. Maximum voltage is applied in about 15 seconds. I purchased mine at sigtomics.com, however I see that website is no longer active... | |
| Free Shipping - Be Careful! Like many others, I have had the best luck with USPS. From my experience UPS has been the worst in terms of badly roughed up boxes with holes and tears in them upon arrival. Sometime, just watch how the UPS truck drives through your neighborhood... | |

| Victory at Sea - original LPs Vs Remastered LP or CD Thank you 4Track. I did not know there were separate records for the soundtrack and for the recording sessions. The only vinyl I have seen is the two record set RCA VCS-7064. This appears to be the recording session and not a movie soundtrack, wh... | |

| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? Thelma Houston and Pressure Cooker, RR-2 have been mentioned a couple of times. I have two copies and would sell one if anyone is interested. $10 plus shipping. Play graded as excellent. | |
