Canare 4S11"G" now available!
Canare 4S11 user here too, and with the estimated over 400 hrs burn-in, not terribly excited about going through the same thing with the G.  I still recommend 500 hours, (Canare recommends 200, but it needs more).  I totally understand your tho... 
Canare 4S11"G" now available!
@roxy54...yes, but it has to accommodate an almost 8 gauge wire. After massive research years ago, I found WBT and Furez.  The WBT's are expensive, but the Furez are really nice and decent priced.  I think ViaBlue also has some connectors that wi... 
Canare 4S11"G" now available!
@pinwa...I twist all (4) conductors together for a single stick that runs JUST the positive OR JUST the negative of ONE speaker only.  So you need (4) sticks total.  I've tried it just putting another normal run on top of each other, but this way ... 
6DJ8 vs. 6922?
Every piece of gear that I have owned that uses 6DJ8 tubes, I have had great success with 6922 & 7308 tubes.  All are interchangeable. In addition, my absolute favorite is the PCC88 (7DJ8).  I have NEVER had a problem using these in ANY unit ...

Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
It’s difficult to imagine how your damages could exceed what you’d spent. In addition...a lot of the titles are worth WAY more on the secondary market than what was spent at retail. I can’t believe anyone, (including the naysayers) would send ... 
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?
@stephens770  WOW!  Talk about a "Wall Of Sound".  That room is almost ideal for those speakers.  Thanks for the pic.  
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?
I still have a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10's that I custom restored.  Added solid Purpleheart trim pieces.  Just beautiful.  Really, really  nice.  Oh...they sound pretty good too...  
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?
One of my biggest regrets in my audio journey.  My first big adult move and just no way to take them with me. IMHO, one of the best speakers ever made.  
Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian folk legend, dead at 84
Bummer! One of favorite male vocalists. Had the pleasure of seeing him several times. He put on a wonderful show. R.I.P. Gordon https://pitchfork.com/news/gordon-lightfoot-canadian-folk-singer-songwriter-dies-at-84/  
Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?
Plus, IIRC, my SP10 had a damn good phono stage. 😉  Ref 10 does not. IMHO, ARC gear went through the roof, price wise.  
Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?
@charles1dad...thanks for that link! Did you guys see ALL the creditors that are listed?  My Lord...  
Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?
Speaking from many, many years of experience in the high-end audio business: DO NOT SEND ANYTHING IN FOR REPAIR OR UPGRADE UNTIL THIS GETS RESOLVED!!!  I’ve lost several pieces through the years to this exact cause...  
Forte 4A vs. Belles 350A vs. Belles 350A Reference
The Belles 350A Reference is one of the best amps, (top 10) that I have ever owned and I've owned a BUNCH of amps. The Forte is a great little amp, but not in the same league.
