who repairs sonic frontiers?
Natile,I certianly apologize for speaking incorrectly, however, looking through the surface of what I said, and looking at the end result, you may agree it can be expensive to ship to Canada. If you look at UPS's web site you will see Canada is co... 
What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3?
Not a direct answer to your question, but I also changed the rear most set of tubes (put in a pair of RCA tubes) and was very impressed with the improvement. I then changed the rest to Amprex, and really could not tell a difference. I use the Anth...

Pbb,You have stumbled upon the biggest kept secret in recent American history. Yes, those Canadians cannot be trusted as far as you can bowl them. There is obviously a conspiracy against our country from our neighbors from the north. I believe the... 
Advice please
Lots of postes here with good suggestions. In essence, you need to find the hum. Start with nothing connected to the amp (except the speakers of course) and go from there. If you get a hum with the speakers connected and nothing else, it's power r... 
Help for power conditioning of changing current
Try a voltage stabalizer...Monster makes one, as well as CinePro. I'm sure there are others. None I know of that do line conditioning AND stabalizing. Good luck. I hope to see Moscow someday... 
Electrostatic vs. Boxed vs. Ribbon?
I don't know lots about electrostats/ribbon speakers, other than they generally are very picky about set up and have a narrower g-spot. They also are pretty demanding in terms of having the 'right' room. But dam, they can sound good!

Need to change Spade to Banana
Thanks for the info Gunbei, but those are the exact Monsters I use. Since we have identical wire, do you feel there is enough contact area between the Monster spade-banana and the spade lug? I just ordered a similar animal from Magnepan to try it ...

Dramatic Visible? Power Issues -- What Next?
Wish I could offer better advice than this, but call a priest. Keep us posted of your fix, I'd like to hear what could cause that. It seems to me the amp is the most likely culprit with a bad capacitor or resistor???? But then again I don't know j... 
Ok, so what does Phase Inversion actually do??
I will certainly check the archives, and continue to test. The differences I have heard are definitly subtle to none, but there is something I like about the Phase Inversion with the certain cds. I am anxious to read more...thanks.m-after reading ... 
Amp Hum
I was rewiring my gear last night and heard a hum coming from my mid-range driver. I was used to this but surprised how loud it had gotten, and it usually went away...presumably after some parts warmed up (especially the tubes) but this time it st...
