Differentiate grounds in wall panel
Buy a circuit tracer, such as the following. (http://www.grainger.com/product/AMPROBE-Crct-Brkr-Finder-6NZF8?s_pp=false&picUrl=//static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/6NZF8_AS01?$smthumb$) You plug the transmitter into the outlet and the ... 
What speakers are these?
If there are numbers on the back of the driver, contact Madisound, and give them the info. Chances are good that they can ID it for you. (https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/contact-us) 
Tweeter Problem
Swapping the tweeters, between cabinets, will tell you if it's the crossover. Applying a full range signal to a tweeter(even at low volume), without the crossover blocking mids and lows, greatly increases the chances of damaging a working driver. ... 
Re: Technics RS-M85 casette deck part needed
I have a Technics RS-M65 deck, in the original box, on a shelf. The record function stopped working a few decades back. Most of the parts are interchangeable, the major difference between the two being the Quartz lock speed control of the M85. You... 
Replacing Veneer on ProAc Speakers
@Jclctr- When you figure out your course of action(if it includes having your ProAcs re-veneered/refinished), let me know. I've got decades of experience with veneers and speaker cabinets. Obtaining Rosewood veneer(Santos/Brazilian/East Indian/etc...

How does one contact Michael? 
Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear?
@RW- My sentiments, exactly! 
Metal-base and non metal-base 5AR4/GZ34?
The ones with the 'B' in the date code(ie: F32/B6H4), are from the Blackburn Plant. Personally; I found the double gettered type to be some of the most reliable and best sounding. A couple examples: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mullard-Shield-... 
Metal-base and non metal-base 5AR4/GZ34?
I suppose you missed the, "METAL BASE, or NOT," in my post. There are lots of bakelite base Mullard/Blackburns out there, for MUCH LESS than $400, any of which will outperform the reissues. Someone else just might happen to read this thread, that ... 
What to pair with stacked Large Advents
"Why not. For $300 find me a better sounding set of speakers and I'll buy them!" The Infinity Primus 363 They're easy to find, for around $300.00/pair. More efficient, more accurate, flatter response, cleaner mids, can play louder with much lower ... 
Metal-base and non metal-base 5AR4/GZ34?
None of the re-issues will compare with a true Mullard(Blackburn Plant) GZ34, either in sonics or lifespan(metal base, or not). 
Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s
Three capacitors of matched brand, capacitance and voltage would share the same time constant, and should not result in any aberrations. Another subject that might be of interest; observe the outer foil of the caps you use, and orient them as ment... 
Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s
15uF is less than plus 10% of 14.5uF and would sound more coherent than paralleling caps of different values. Jon Dahlquist's claim to fame was always time and phase coherent systems. It would be a shame to compromise that, by mixing the time cons... 
Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s
Look at the list of Solen and AEON caps, on page 6 of the following catalog: (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) Most capacitors are manufactured to a +/- 10 or 20% tolerance. If you call Michael Percy, he can match caps to within a 2% toleran... 
Any CARY CAD 300SEI owners who use Furutech fuses?
Hi RF- Personally, if I were to install a new fuse now; I would try it in both directions, just to see if I could discern a difference. That way; there would be no reason to open up the amp. BTW: Yes, I have all mine oriented with the with the dio...
