@terry9, @bigkidz...you guys are techs, right? I was always told that electrolytic caps age with ’"use", not with just "age". Is that true? The ML-335 was made in 1998.  That makes it just 25 years old.  Maybe new in box or demo unit.  That's why...

@bigkidz, @erik_squires...+1 I was a Levinson dealer and they use VERY high quality parts.  IMHO, you shouldn't have any problems, but use caution up front.  
How do I put new banana connector on with other wires showing up after cutting ?
It is indeed interconnect cable, (could be some weird-ass Monster Cable speaker cable.  They did some bizarre stuff) but speaker ends. If you are near Northern Colorado, I’d be more than happy to help. We can use that wire, but would need to some ... 
DH Labs power cables
I just switched most of my AC Power cables over to DH Labs. I bought the cable bulk and put on really good ends and built them myself. Even made them really pretty. 😎 WOW!!! (Pangea is the only cable that I liked cold, out-of-box.  Once it broke...

For those who always dreamed of owning a Nakamichi
Nak's downfall was getting into the "Life Style" section of crap.  I was a dealer for a long time.  It was very sad to see this happen. Once a great company...

Just came here to post this. This one is hard.  Jimmy was a big favorite of mine.  Saw him quite a few times live.  What a talent and an incredible show every time. R.I.P. Jimmy.  Thanks for the wonderful tunes!!!

Craft did a 50th Anniversary version in 2020.  It's pretty darn good. Huge CCR fan here.  I think I have all the versions that Chad did and a few imports.  
100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie
@waltersalas...excellent choices sir!  Some great titles on there!!! I took out "Best Ofs" & "Box Sets" so we would have to really think about the "album" as a whole. Also, I see a lot of titles from the lists that I love, but remember, thes...
