| Tube tester recommendation! Thanks for the responses fellas. I'll look at the Hickok testers but in the meantime I really like the idea Rodman put forth. Think I'll use that in the near if not longer especially with them being a neighboring state!Thanks again, appreciate the... | |

| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge Thanks everyone for the help! The calculators are just great, bookmarked!One last question: If a system can accommodate both medium and high output versions of a cartridge, why choose medium (i.e., why choose a lower output version)? What do lower... | |
| How to pick a COMPATIBLE phono cartridge jperry,Thank you for that previous posting where you mentioned medium output. It's that (and a bit more) that got this thread going. Why? When I contacted a local dealer to get the medium output Benz priced I was advised to go to the high output. ... | |

| Help wanted: Bass! All right, this discussion thread has brought me to now wanting to look at subs. I do not see "subs" as a sub-category (no pun intended) under the speaker category. How do I find them on Audiogon? I did a key word search of "sub" and came up with... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! Appears the obvious sure-fire solution would be a sub. Get over my resistance I say to myself!Question: I'm currently running bi-wire to the Kensingtons. How would this be configured with a sub? Or should that be two subs?? Can the concept of bi w... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! Wonderful suggestions, thank you all. Beginning with no cost suggestions, I already have the Kensington’s placed by each side of my fireplace which puts them about a foot away from the back wall and about same from the wall of the fireplace. This ... | |
