Guru QM-10... Anybody Heard Them? More Than Lows?
Just picked up a new pair here on Audiogon and I am captivated by this rather odd looking speaker. Not a Bose believe me, LOLWanted to ditch the floor standers and get a monitor that did not leave me missing the lower octaves and these allow near ... 
Any one try moon audio BRSE monitor speakers
Thanks for the reply and good advice. Seeing that Moon rebadges or tweeks LSA items I am guessing decent quality with Chinese manufacture. Anyhow might try to ask Moon. 
How much power is too much for a Quad 988?
Gentlemen ,Your replies and counsel have encouraged me and I have downloaded a free Iphone SPL meter program and will self police myself and keep things at 89 db or less.I was kind of hoping someone would encourage (enable) me to shop for a new Qu... 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
Getting more time with my standard model Amadeus and it is quite satisfying. I now only hope with a nicer cartridge that I have in my Fiscal 2010 budget I will be even more satisfied. Like the simple yet quirky design and once set up which is real...

Well Tempered Amadeus
I just set up my new Well Tempered Amadeus and the rave reviews would seem to be warranted for this pricepoint and perhaps above. As I am an a self professed vinyl newbie after saying goodbye to the shiny black format in the 80's. Starting a new c...

KT88 Monoblock amp makes a spitting sound at times
Thanks to all for offering advice to my sonic woes.I am waiting for a special screwdriver from IAG in England to remove the tube cage. I hope this will stop the annoying hum in the one amp. I still plan to retube these from top to bottom. That way... 
KT88 Monoblock amp makes a spitting sound at times
Thanks for the response.I am going to get 4 new 6SH7 tubes to start.The other amp has started doing the ground hum thing again. The fix still is light pressure on the tube cage. Will I be best off removing the cage?This hum is intermittent, but sh... 
KT88 Monoblock amp makes a spitting sound at times
Cheers for ideas to my sonic maladies,The amps were bought as demos. I have no idea as to the hours on any of the tubes. As long as the circuit is good as I tend to believe, I have no problem with valve refurbishment even in light of my dodgy empl...
