| Tired of bootleg I have bought used from Agon members of good standing with fine results. I also buy some cheap but real stuff. Like Pheonix Gold Speaker cables and entry level Audience ICs called Audience Conductors, I didn't even know they existed until a dealer... | |
| Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material I like maple as a support and sound damping material. I don't know much about oil being leach by the supports but I use Brass points. | |
| Speaker cables for Avalons What do you expect from the cables neutrality? Warmth?, definition/analytics? it matters. Most people will say neutrality with transparency but mut secretly desire the cable to do sometrhing else. To your own self be true or at least honest. If yo... | |
| Any Value for these Items? Adcom/Krell If the Adcom puts out a distorted signal, most will not consider it. I have no idea what a "Krell B&W series...filter" is thus to me it is worthless . Perhaps others will know what it is and if it has value but it isn't one of those things eve... | |

| Burn in Step up transformer with ipod. There are some really inexpensive phono transformers available. That is if $20-$30 bucks is cheap enough for you. I can't remember theirs names or where to buy them but if I were looking I would bottom fish Ebay to start. | |
| OK to replace one power tube for amp? You can do it but sound wise one will be very much burned in and starting to die while the other has a brand new sound signature. You can do, it but I would replace both. | |
| New cables for Thorens TD 160 you need a phono pre amp not different cables. Most electronics do not come equiped for phono input which is small if MM and minute if Moving Coil. I don't know what you are hooking you table into but if it is anything made close to recently that ... | |

I had imagined he had already commited to selling it elsewhere and didn't have the knowledge of ettiquette To simply say "I am compelled out of correctness to sell to the offer I responded to first, I apologize" Or something to that effect.Yah wha... | |
| Bands where U say I don't know if the bands that Jimi Hendrix played in mattered as bands, but how can a list like this omit the pure artistic genius Jimi was. God only knows what he would have created if he hadn't died so very young. It depresses me just writing t... |
