| Horns and Triodes...? Look up Jeff Korneff (username is something like tryaudio, but I'm not finding it today). Stunning workmanship, well-respected amps. Home-built, but showroom quality work. Reasonable, too, though it doesn't sound like you've mentioned a specific b... | |
| Rack Concept: Design and W.A.F. Riddle Slappy, I'm in the same field and am with you all the way. Now try spelling. | |
| Need to clean some cds I've seen some used CD stores use a bench/wheel grinder with a buffing wheel to buff the surfaces clear of the superficial scratches... wierded me out at first, but they really looked great after a couple quick passes, and the ones I took home pla... | |
| "simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey "Run Red Run" by the Coasters. Unbelievable song! "Well, Red went and bought himself a monkey... bought it from a pawn shop broker. Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer, and he taught him how to play stud poker. Well last night they was gamblin i... | |
| Plasma Bracket for above Fireplace question??? Take a sponge and wipe the wall above your fireplace. You might find the sponge comes up dirty or sooty, even if the wall looks clean. Now imagine that film on the screen. The plasma unit may retain some charge even when turned off that would make... | |
| Tube integrated amp for my son's first system. Look into Norh - they have an integrated that shows up used sometimes for $300 or so, $400 new. Also, Jolida 102b is a good option, but a stretch monetarily - it's $575 or so new, mid to high $400s used. It's the cheapest integrated from one of th... | |
| Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap AC/DC isn't heavy metal. It's hard rock, just like Lead Balloon, or whatever that other big hard rock band is. Hard rock. I don't know whose style guide ever got this confused in the first place, but they're completely out to lunch. Metal begins w... | |
| warm amp ss around 650 Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA250 might be an option to consider. Warm and smooth yes, but not the last word in detail. Won't be more than $650 used, might even find one for around $500. I had the larger SA400 and liked it quite a bit, but I've sinc... | |
| Worst remote nomination... 1) Original Music Hall CD-25 CD Player. Remote worked fine, but talk about FUGLY.2) My current Pioneer DV-C503 5-DVD Carousel -- once or twice reviewed as one of the best DVD changers at the price. Fine player for the price (< $300), but the re... | |

| Tonearms for a Basis 2001? How about a Graham Robin for about $750? Interesting and very positive review in S'phile a few months ago. Just throwing that out there in case it's of interest, I haven't seen/heard one. | |

| What can $300 do? 'books or standers? | |
| Vaulting Cassette Tapes and have a final question. Before storing them, you should also "retension" them. That is, fully fast forward to the end of the tape, and rewind to the beginning. That will re-spool the tape in an orderly fashion, and avoid curling of the tape due to loose packing. Retensio... | |
