| Life without a remote Well the last couple of days I have been experimenting to find exactly what life would be without a remote. It was more difficult at first as I would automatically turn for the remote much more often than I realized. After I got used to not having... | |

| BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo? Lokie, I do have a sub for HT but there is no need for it as far as 2 channel goes - The silverbacks and the VAC can gut it out without a problem on the SPL. I am more concerned dropping from 80W down to 25W if there will still be enough drive. Ev... | |

| Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking Rosedanny, glad you got it to work. Mine works most of the time but every now and again it sticks. It sounds like this may be a common issue with this arm. Easy to live with though, just a light pressure on the lift and it will ease the cart into ... | |
| Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking This is what I got from musical surroundigs when I had same issue. "Sometimes the lubricant inside of the cueing assembly hardens due to temperature swings (for example in shipping) and this causes the cueing assembly to get "sticky." We suggest l... | |
