How to order Wally Tools...
Anyone that holds money hostage should be put in jail. Just get a Mint LP. I never thought I'd buy anything from Hong Kong, but Yip answers emails, and is also helpful. Shipping dates are shown on his website and you receive the tool as promised. ... 
Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor
Wes4390 hang in there. Make SURE you have GOOD lighting, and try to put the TT so that it is at eye level when you are sitting down. Also angle the TT so that where the left front and left side corner meet is facing you to get a little better angl... 
Linn Ekos for non-Linn Turntable?
Keep the LP 12 or sell me the arm for 250.00 I'll gladly put it on my LP12. Stop trying to hear things that are not there, or you may get your wish. You have a great setup already. I only have a Basik Arm w/ a Linn K18 II cart and love the sound. ... 
Would you pay to audition speakers
Yes, some people do use dealers to demo, then buy used cheaper. BIG DEAL. I'll gladly pay MORE to someone else than the dealer is charging, before I give 5.00 away, let alone 500.00 The 500.00 is no guarantee you'll like the speakers. This is not ... 
"Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality?
There is only one way a speaker will ever frighten me...The high price. Some things would not sell as well if the prices were not overly high. Too bad WE have to pay so much for marketing and advertizement. 
Tube amps that kick ass?
Cary 120s I had one, now have a V12R. Both kick ass. Even my 92 year old neighbors are starting to like Johnny Winter. 
Would you pay to audition speakers
Giggsy is right. If I had a nickel for every beer I ever drank, I'd go out and buy beer with it. 
Would you pay to audition speakers
Hell no! Nobody locks me into anything! Cars, coins, stereos, hookers or anything else. Money IS the most important thing... period... There will always be something else (maybe better) for sale. Maybe the items for audition aren't as good as they... 
New to tube rolling, where to purchase tubes?
Try Brandon or Rob @ 480-820-5411 @ Antique Electronic Supplies. I bought tubes in Nov. for my Cary V12R amp 3 matched quads and the rest for 232.00 and just ordered a new set of tubes for my Cary SLP98P preamp 6sn7 military type andthe rest stock... 
Loud POP
Thanks to all for your help. I think I'll get a new set of tubes for the preamp, so that I'll have pretty much new tubes for everything. The pop is not really loud but just startles me for a moment. It only happens once in a while. Again, thanks t... 
Mint Tractor
I just used my new Mint LP and almost went cross eyed, but it worked out nicely on my Linn Sondek TT. I'm lucky that I have a Linn tonearm, so that way I can use the Mint again if I ever upgrade to another Linn arm. Or I guess I could sell it for ... 
Advice on speakers?
Call me @ 727-637-8825 I have speakers that will rock a room that size! 
Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot
Here's an old one. Why is a carrott more orange than an orange? 
stereo for someone special
Linn Classik with Katans. 
Cary or VTL amps
I have a Cary V12R and I'll bet the 6 packs would kick ass with the Klipsch. I also have a mint pair of Quartets. How do the Cornscalas sound? Thanks
