Speaker problem
" They told me by phone that it could be the Yamaha ( I don’t know how)" How? Their cash drawer probably told them. There is the possibility that the HTM’s problem is intermittent. Again: You mentioned the amp shutting down, when you increase volu... 
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
AH, yes-  Pontificating from the, 'Throne of  Inexperience'. 
Speaker problem
The center speaker has to be the problem, from your testing. It’s obviously damaged, one way or the other. Again, though- Did the Yamaha & HTM center speaker combination work, at one time(is this problem a recent development)?  You mention the... 
Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
@bdp24 - I try to apprise myself of as much information as available, whatever I’m considering. So- no problems at all, with reading as many OPINIONS as possible. One should remember, that these are all OPINIONS, however. I try to base my decision... 
Speaker problem
Did the Yamaha/center speaker combination work, at one time? If so- refer to my first post. If not, is the NAD/center speaker combo working?    Clarity, please. 
Kaboom Audio???
It wouldn’t surprise me, if the NSA and/or FBI weren’t already monitoring your communications. Gotta watch those trigger words. Certainly does sound like fun though. I’ve often passed my gear on, after replacement, to those with lesser systems,... 
Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
btw: I’ve had HI-FI Tuning’s fuses(Gold and now Supremes) in my Cary monoblocks’ mains and B+ circuits, for over 12 years, without a problem. That’s not counting when the occasional tube took a crap and the fuse did it’s job. Then again, that’s ju... 
Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
WOW(one in a row)! Anyone that’s frequented this forum(and it’s fuse threads), is familiar with that story. If HI-FI Tuning’s fuses were responsible/culpable, where are the plethora of similar incidents, that would(necessarily) have followed? The ... 
Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
@bdp24 - It SHOULD be easy to provide examples, of that ever happening. 
Speaker problem
If your amp continues to function, with the center channel speaker disconnected, there's an obvious problem with that component.  There are a number of things(within a speaker system), that could result in a short.  ie: a burnt voice coil, if the ... 
Turntable cuing light
Now I can actually see how clean my stylus is(and the 38 years of dirt, on my tonearm). Easily got rid of the outboard magnet. The one on the clamp’s end will take a bit more effort. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
As long as you remain on the learning curve(asking questions and accepting advice), you can’t sound stupid. VPI’s leadership seems not the care for anti-skating. I have no experience with your particular setup,  but- the VPI Memorial arm supposedl... 
New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition
What, "record"? For Adcom amps, maybe? As I posted, back in 2008: "100,000 units/likely the best selling......? A testament to how deaf many people are. The Dynaco ST-70 sold over 300,000 units, because it sounded/sounds much more like music(even ... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
@chadsort- Too far for me to drive(a bit)!   By, "refreshing", I meant replacing the electrolytic caps, which can be quite numerous in a phono stage. If that wasn’t done, when the rest of the preamp was addressed, the results would be major. No- t... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
@chadsort- Since the advent of digital, some recappers have taken to offering the refreshing of an internal phono stage, as an option to their standard preamp service. Is there a way to inquire, regarding your unit? Know anyone that might lend you...
