If you know how these pieces sound and you like them then no one sjould argue too vigorously against your getting them. The would not be at the top of my list but I am not you and I love tubes.I might add though that tuners are becoming obsolete w...

A private investigator is needed here no police precint would take the case due to jusdiction issues. 
Does anyone know the news of Kharma Amplifiers
I don't know if anyone has noticed that this is the third anti Kharma thread in the last few days. Is there some smear campaign going on or something? I niether am, for or against these speakers, knowing precious little about them. 
Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.
I learned that I was stretching the ring on my VPI. It does indeed take very little force . So whatever you do start with as little stretch as will drive the table to propper speed. 
Speaker cable suggestions for B&W 800 Diamond
I agree with audiolabyrinth. A shorter measure of Ohno OCC wire likely achjeve the results you desire. or if you want a manufactured wired I get great results withs Jena Cables. 
Meridian M10 "amps" needed
Has Meridien sought to help you on this tine if trouble" It would make a great P.P. moment for Meridien as well. Have you even sent out any feelers on this?? 
Why does most new music suck?
My dad was very hip actually and even bought Led Zep. As well as the Beatles and Stones. He loved classical as well and he was only in his 30s at the time. I inherited his JBL C36s with the 030 speaker package. 
What are the best headphones for hearing aid users
No you would need the larger 701s or 702s with very forgiving foam i would give give those a try. You might also want to consider a headphone amp system. Check out Mapletree audio. I think tht's how he spells it. there are many other audio sites t... 
CHecking tubes?

ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
I eat a lot of mints but I have never misrepresented a product willingly, perhaps unwitingly, but not knowingly. I also refrain from words like new and mint, which are truly BS in most cases. BUT..... I guess it really depends on how you define mi...

Audience Conductor entry level cables very good refined sound no bloat from the cable anyways. 
Cartridge and Phono advice for Classic 3
Pbn-PeterI think he must have thought he was using an integrated amp that had a phono section built in. In the older amps there was always a phono input that could be used with MM gain cartridges. Today integrated with built in phonos can have op[... 
Anyone know about Mitsubishi hi fi eqpt?
I own one of their better preamps from the silver era vintage days. Haven't heard it in years, so I can't attest to the sound. It is a looker, with meters and dials galore, controls for your controls, definitely not the current minimalist ideal. 
4-500 $ cartridge for Project Debut Carbon ?
How about a used, hi output, Dynavector 20X. Great cart for the money. I like the sound so much I would be tempted to say get the entry level, 10X5 Dynavector. I imagine the old amp has an MM input so the HO version would be the way to go unless y...
