Any Tips on Buying?
Even if you "Made An Offer" the "Buy It Now" takes precedent over that offer. You still would have lost the sale.

has anyone else experience this.....
There is something wrong with the tubes, (they might just be worn out? How used is used?) or your cj PV-10 just doesn't play well with them or you just don't like them. Maybe time to move on.Sorry, but what you describe, isn't what I have found to... 
Pioneer HPM-100 Tweeter and Suptw. Level Control ?
From the manual:Level ControlsIndividual controls are provided for the MID and HIGH frequency ranges, and when set at "0" a suggested output characteristic is obtained. Turning either control clockwise increases the output from that speaker, while...

How much time do you have on the Mullards? They need at least 40-50 hours to burn in.I use Mullards almost exclusively and have never found what you state to be the norm. Maybe new, right out of the box, but never after they've burned in.Give them... 
Help matching a cartridge to a phono preamp
After looking at the specs of the M1, IMHO the .21mv version would be right on the cusp of not working well. It also depends on how much gain your preamp has through the line stage, but unless it's a lot, the 1mv version will definitely work bette... 
Magnepan DWM problem
I was a Magnepan dealer for many years. This is called "panel slap" and indeed does happen if the panel is overdriven or if the source material has really, really deep bass and played loudly. I've heard this happen numerous times.Electrostatic spe...

Problem with Mog
I've been having the same issues over the past month or so on all of my Squeezebox devices and computer. MOG is going away, (forever) on April 15th, so I think they have just abandoned the system instead of putting any money into it to maintain it... 
Boarding school or duct tape?
I was really lucky. The first three words my two kids learned were: NO...Daddy...Stereo.I never had any problems, but had many customers of mine, (when I still had my audio stores) with horror stories. I could probably write a book... 
Ribbons or electrostatic speakers with SS Amp?
I tried a XA30.5 on my Martin Logan CLSIIA's and it sounded great, however, no where near the power that I needed. I do have a bigger room and listen a little loud, (but not overly so).I also tried a pair of the XA60.5 monos and still I thought th...

New cartridge no sound
Make sure the connector from the tonearm to the junction box is plugged in all the way. It should kind of "snap" in. It might look like it's plugged in, but make sure it really is.Also make sure the stylus is pushed all the way into the cartridge ...
