Where R U?????
Madison, Wisconsin here. There are many hi-end shops in the local area but it seems it was not till the net and dialogs like those on Audiogon did I realize where the buyers are located. I have used the Zip Code search on Audiogon and the Used Equ... 
Photopoint Pic Posting Site Dead? Alternatives?
Thanks for all your suggestions. I was totally shocked to find Photopoint just gone, no warning, just "poof", gone. Guess it is just another example of the nano-second departure of web based businesses. Sure hope Audiogon keeps going strong, they ... 
Will Bel Canto DAC-1 improve EAD CD-1000?
I agree with the comment on Power Cords but with the caviat the improvement in sound is most directly related to quality of electricity coming in. However, if you view the power cord not as the last x feet of the power company/house wiring but rat...

Shunyata Cobra vs King Cobra v1/v2
Thanks David for your thoughtful message. Do you have any idea how the Cobra compares to the King Cobra V1? 
"Stacked" Advents hookup
I had stacked Advents in the mid/late seventies and YES you do invert the Advents so tweeters are close together in the fashion of Dunlavy SCIVa etc. I ran them with a Dynaco 400 which, for their day, was a nice combo for a person in their early 20s. 
Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?
I was using the Silver Ovals for mid-highs on my B&W 801 s3 and Oval 9s on woofers. The Silver Ovals have more hi-freq detail but less halographic. In the end I got rid of the Silver Ovals and when for the musical, for me, presentation of the ... 
Luxman T-117 Tuner
Yes, Brian, that is its value unless you sell on an Auction where people who may not have done their research get too emotional and artificially bid up a T117. Very few people research tuner values as completely and nearly daily as I do. I love wh... 
Luxman T-117 Tuner
This tuner is clearly better than the FT-11 by a substantial amount. I have owned tens and tens of tuners including the two tuners you asked about. If you can get this tuner for $225 or less in excellent condition there should be no question in it... 
What do you think of Nakamichi in general ?
I had a new high end ES Line Sony Cassette Deck when I decided to get a DR-10 Nak Deck when they were going cheap. Wow, this is such a Night and Day contrast I could hardly believe it. It seemed, by comparison, I was listening to music with cotton... 
FPB Series - Hot Running?
Sorry if I disrupted your blissfulness. Why not question our energy usage? Maybe you should ask the entire state of California the same question when they were mandated to shut down all non-essential electrical devices. Seems to me that big sectio...

What are the BEST FM Antennas HELP
If you were closer I would suggest you come over to my place to see what the www.antennaperformance.com APS-13 Antenna will do. If you by a cheap antenna and you try to get anything but local stations you are doing committing your tuner to sucking...

You can find out about tube complement, some specs, and pics at:http://www.sundial.net/~rogerr/tuners.htm#mr71I talked to McIntosh technical support a couple of weeks who report that the MR-71 is without question the best sounding of all its tuner... 
FPB Series - Hot Running?
I know its a bummer. I just plant native species so I don't have to mow the lawn in that part of the house to compensate. That will take care of silly energy usage for vanity sake not to mention the outrageous levels of air pollution a gas mower g...
