Need recommendations to replace ARC VT100 MkII
The DC balance adjustments are somewhat of a pain. I love the tube sound, but the VT100 MkII is not particularly user friendly.ZD542, what would you recommend for a preamp?

vacuum tube shelf life
I have a lightly used ARC SP3 which I bought in 1975. It still has the same tubes I bought it with, and it works fine. The preamp sat unused for about 15 years, then I sent it back to ARC for the 3C upgrade in 2003. ARC tested the tubes and said t...

Doggiehowser, thanks for your reply. It's a lot for me to digest, since I am not a computer geek. I will proceed carefully, first with a trip to the Apple store to check out external drives. I already have a 1TB drive used as back-up, using Time M... 
Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic

Need help with Squeezebox Touch
Hi Mapman, I followed your suggestion on 1/30, to no avail. However, I was using the " undetected" SBT today using it's touchscreen, while browsing the web on my iPad. I brought up the iPad SBT controller, and after a minute or so, it detected bot...
