CD Read Errors--Rare?
Hartley's claim was that even though the sample is only 1/44100 of a second long, if the error occurred at a point where there was a major shift in the sound (my words) it would be translated as a click. The click would be audible. If that is the ... 
does tull qualify?
The Jethro Tull of late 60's to mid 70's was something else. I remember a couple of summers as a teenager back in the day playing "Aqualung" and "Thick as a Brick" until the needle on my SONY record player was going to fall off. All you needed wer... 
Sansui A-80 help
Just have the technician who gave you the estimate replace the power supply. If you are looking for a Sansui power supply to drop in, lotsa luck unless you come across a salvage one. Even if you were to score one, you would need a schematic unless... 
Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero
These speakers will probably not come up for review, unless they are part of a review for a complete NHT home theatre speaker package and then the Zeroes would most likely be the surround speakers. Are you still resisting the suggestion to go hear...

BAT or Primaluna
I am a big Prima Luna fan, as I own both the P2 integrated and P5 power amplifiers. I believe that the Prima Lunas will give you all that you are looking for and more. With the P2 I am using Acoustic Research 302 speakers, 3 ways with 10 inch woof... 
Sansui A-80 help

Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero

6550s vs kt88s for a mac 275 amp
Hi Newbee:My apologies as I know that this started out as a Mac thread. My exeriences are with two tube amps, the Prima Luna Prologue 2 &5. I was very disappointed with the EL34's in the Prologue 2. I felt that the stock KT88's just sounded be... 
6550s vs kt88s for a mac 275 amp
Mrtennis:I am not sure if you would consider these old enough to be NOS. I have been using these 6550's in my Prima Luna Prologue 2 integrated and Prologue 5 power amplifiers. Prefer these to KT88's and EL34's. SED Winged C 6550 tubes. Regards, ... 
Online shopping for music
Loki:Tower is not gone ... for mail order, anyways. Still alive and well, free shipping, decent enough, if not the best prices. Regards, Rich 
Need new speakers
Nat:With a tube amp and a WAF to be mitigated, take a look at the offerings from Omega Loudspeakers . These are single driver speakers that are offered in a variety of finishes. They are excellent with tubes and vocal music.Regards, Rich 
A challenge: Reference system from 15yrs ago
It may not have been SOTA, but this was a honey of a system that retailed for $2K in 1989/1990. I paid about $1500 for it new. My wife and I had just split up and this was my gift to myself. ADCOM 545 power amplifierADCOM 500II preamp/tunerMagnavo...
