| audition copper/silver arm wire in New York Try audioconnection in Verona. They have one of the biggest analogue choices in Tri-State. If they can't provide you wanted luxury, I wouldn't even know who can. | |

| DAC suggestion to pair with MC275 & Usher Spk Certainly the speakers you have aren't easily 'digestable' by tube amp, but integrating them with sub can give you a possibility to keep tubes. If you aiming for more control, than certainly getting MC252 or MC352 will justify your goals(if we spe... | |
| Audible illusions Mod 3a right channel popping If B+ voltage somehow got into the signal path(very unlikely even with blown tube) it may've damaged the coupling cap. Other than that I don't see the reason why coupling cap is the culprit. | |

| Belt noise on my AR turntable When it stretches you don't have to see the wear.Try to laundry it with warm or cold gentle cycle. You can do that with like clothes as well. It may shrink.Other than that, if the belt is cheap I'd order several of these. | |
| Audible illusions Mod 3a right channel popping Is right channel popping when you touch the volume control or regardless?Could also be DC caps that need replacement. | |
| What is Jazz? I don't like jazz either, but love fusion, bop, acid, avangard, jazz-rock and jazz-punk.To me jazz is mainstream such as Ben Webster, Chet Atkins, etc... | |
| Proceed AMP-2 vs BPA-2 / HPA-2 There's one signature thing among all Proceed equipment: they all have reliability issues. | |
