Packing & Shipping Large/Heavy Speakers
I urge you to take them to a UPS store and let them package and ship them. It will likely cost more but if you want to ensure an undamaged shipment or at least an insured shipment that you can "collect" on that is the route to go. I had a nightmar...

Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going
I own the Furutech and the Zerostat. IMHO I believe the Furutech to be superior to the Zerostat or any antistatic device I used. I keep my listening room at 70/50 (temp/RH) and so far no issues with static.

Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
I installed matched NOS Telefunken smooth plates into my Rogue M-180s two days past. They will need some break in time but so far I like them more than the JJ tubes I replaced so I anticipate I will like them more and more as time passes. I also ...
