| Looking for some Hafler XL-600 Amp service/repair references btw: If your speaker fuses are still good: you might try swapping the amps, between channels, before opening up the suspect. It’s possible that the problem is upstream. ie: No signal on that channel. Also: DC at the input, would keep the XL-600’s ... | |
| Looking for some Hafler XL-600 Amp service/repair references There are also fuses on the driver boards(one each, at the top) and a, "Protective Relay", that can be visually observed, with regards to operation.

| Advice on Tonearm/ Cartridge combo What were you using with that Koetsu, before the SME? Were you enthused, with the Koetsu’s presentation, before the SME? I could be wrong, but- it appears to me, that there are more good(as in, "upper tier"), higher mass, arms out there, ... | |

| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? I suppose ignorance regarding the fact that interconnects ALL comprise an, "RLC" network, to some degee, is fairly widespread. The, "C" is for, "CAPACITANCE" and- like any capacitor; the dielectric will take time to stabilize. The higher... | |

| Kimber Kable What stereo5 said, +1. Kimber’s 4PR is 13 AWG. If you could shorten and double the run, you’d have about 7’ of 10 AWG, per channel(same AWG as 8PR). Alternatively, if you’re able to shorten the run; you could try bi-wiring. Shorter... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Derangement Syndrome prompts Loony-Tune to dig up a 1 1/2 decade old thread, through which they emulate their party’s mascot(the JACKASS). HILARIOUS(not to mention: pathetic)! | |
