TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
as a relatively new Stirling GR owner (2019, thanks again Kevin for steering me there) I couldn't be happier w/my Tannoys.  I would feel sorry for future potential owners if they folded up shop but I feel privileged and very grateful to own a pair... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Donald Fagen, NightflyVetiver, Errant Charmremember when albums had "made to be played loud" on the rear jacket? 
Leaky capacitors need replacement?
hello shawn3998.....I'm curious how old is the amp?  My RM10 Mk II is 10 yrs olde now....perhaps I should check under the hood at some point.

corelli, great tip on the use of styrofoam thanks!

For years I've use Ospho/phosporic acid all the time to neutralize rust on parts.  It won't harm surrounding finish and gets rid of the rust.  It doesn't burn your skin like you think it might.  I use a q-tip and dip it in the bottle then lightly ... 
Tube amplifier upgrade suggestions welcome.
absolutely x2 Tony at tubeaudiostore.  I've owned a RM10 since 2011 enjoy. 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Grateful Dead, Baltimore Civic Center, late 70's.  Completely flat lackluster performance just plodding thru the songs.  When they were on the right dose they were ON but this was clearly not one of those nights.

Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends.  (Bought in a cut out bin at Woolworth's early 70's). 
Cary 306/200 service?
I've used diver's silicone for O-rings on scuba regulators on my 303/300 unit.  BTW, I've had to change my laser drive 3 times in 15 yrs.  Good luck - that's a great sounding unit - I had one years ago. 
Stereo systems are like Harleys
When most Harley riders looked at my airhead BMW or Guzzis they'd scoff or say something smart like this actual example, "they must be good because they're awfully ugly".  The ones who were real motorcyclists and in the know admired the machines a... 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
Aric looks like a great choice - hardwired point to point etc.  A heirloom type amp.  Love to hear that setup. 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
I'd go for the Raven amp if I was shopping mesch.  45 day trial period....what an opportunity to see for yourself instead of hearsay.  If I didn't have such a great pairing with my Stirling GR's with my Music Reference RM10 Mk II - that's the one ... 
RIP Tony Rice
@ranjan....sure was.  What a magical place to gather memories of a lifetime! 
So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!
We have wood rats here.  They used to live, chew and defecate in the foam flotation areas of my aluminum jonboat stored outside and would chew the trailer wiring regularly requiring me to rewire the trailer.  Awful smell aboard and a PIA to rewire...
