| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? +1 oem-wheels! The only sane poster here on this thread! | |
| Fuses in the 3 speed SME PSU Nothing wrong with Buss fuses! To believe otherwise is to be a hopeless neurotic in need of therapy! | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 No, the new caps don't cost much. And an hour or less to install them! Anyway, unless there is a hum problem the caps are probably still good. You can use a variac to slowly ramp up the AC voltage to avoid stressing the caps. | |
| Is the Pioneer model no. SK-550 Boombox really worth as much as they say it is? NO!!!! | |
| CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Players with RCA outputs All these DVD/CD players have the same quality video/audio. Regardless whether they cost $200 or $2000. To believe otherwise is to fall victim to expectation bias! To watch movies I recently purchased a JVC XV-N310B from an eBay seller. $29 includ... | |
| ... How to select tubes for line level preamp ... Buy vintage EF86's and 12AX7's! Avoid present day tubes! That tube "magic" existed in decades past - not so much today! And the old production tubes will last longer in use! | |
| Opinionson Electrocompaniet EC-1 MK IV CD player Why spend $4K? My current fav CDP is the Marantz CD67 from 1997! Cost: $200! A superb CD player! So what it was made in the 20th Century! SQ is competitive with today's four-figure players - and separate DACs! | |

| Unbelievable No more outlandish than the claims made by the purveyors of "audiophile" wire and fuses! | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? I have the Adcom. It allows 3 pairs of speakers to be switched from one amp. | |

| Replacement Tubes for ARC Reference 6 Order a new set of 6H30P's directly from a Russian vendor. Same for a 6550. No need for any special "selection" as ARC claims! | |
| Tube amp - tube socket problem Order a replacement socket from PrimaLuna. Install. | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? Don't put any amp on a carpet because it will block airflow and cooling! So I assume overheating damaged some of the output transistors. Those will need to be replaced with a matched set. The selector switch is more easily replaced. There are plen... |
