Advice on bias range setting
I had a Cary V12R and was told by Cary to run it around 240 mA and it always ran fine. You don't need it any hotter. I swear I could cook a hamburger on the one I had. 
Turntable setup under $2000?

CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
Yeah, I send my equipment in every few years anyway just to have everything checked to be sure it's running right and to check for upgrades even though I rarely get them .Happy listening. 
Best way to pack and ship a Linn LP 12
The arm must be sent in a second box. Use lots of foam noodles and keep the arm stablized so the bearings will not be ruined. Double box everything to be safe. Plug the hole in the bearing so the oil doesn't leak out and also to keep dust out of it. 
When does seller's responsibility end?
I wish you the best of luck, but did you sign for the returned item? Paypal won't do anything about stripped parts. That happened to me once and I even had the Police come to my house to make a police report. Hopefully it'll never happen again, bu... 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
I won't trade my Cary amp or preamp for anything but a Cary upgrade. Minor problems (very minor) don't bother me. I've owned Klipsch, Levinson, McIntosh, and others and they had bigger problems. Anything can happen to a 5 year old preamp and again... 
My Dynavector 10 X 5 Stylus fell off now what?
Either move up to the 20 series, or get another type of cart. 10x5's are garbage. Sound is ok, but a 20 series will last longer than 2 10x5's making it a cheaper buy. The 10x5 cantilevers suck. 
Stereophile $6.00 per year 1/25 only
Rbischoff, thanks for letting us economical folks know about the savings. It's one good way to move up to tube sound, instead of trying to tell us why SS is just as good. 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
Just got back my preamp. 5.00 labor 2.50 part 125.00 bench 87.00 shipping. They did a great job, kept me informed all the way, and the preamp works as new. Not a problem for me. The unit is almost 2 years out of warranty, and they have to pay thei... 
Beware of 'Ghost Switching'
Garage door opener? 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
Markpao, I was also wondering why we haven't heard from the other party. 
WOW, they are important, but in what order?
I have a 4M BH Nordost powercord and 4 1M Nordost BH power cords. 4M from the wall to a Nordost QB4 Power Distrobution box with the 4 1M Powercords plugged into the box. The Powercords made more of a difference than the box, tube rolling, Nordost ... 
bi wire or not to bi wire
Try one set of bi wires on one speaker and a set of single wires on the other in mono stereo and use the balance switch to hear if there is enough difference or any. Kr4, if this is a waste of YOUR space please move on if you have nothing to contr... 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
Try not to ACCIDENTLY trip fall and hurt yourself with witnesses there to see when you pick up your amp. Won't they even try to help repair the damages? It just doesn't seem right that you should be stuck with nothing. Best of luck and I hope they... 
Who is Linn of New Hampshire
They also get listed in the Linn (of Scotland) catagories of speakers. I would like to hear a pair sometime.
