| Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" Wish I could get someone to send me a couple of those $2844 each (Almas Beluga) fuses, that so captivated Stereotimes' three reviewers, to try for free in my Cary Monos. Then again: perhaps not. I might need to keep them and buy another... | |
| Hafler 9130 Right Input RCA loose... How do I access this? Look at the PC board, directly above the RCAs (either side of the stereo/mono switch, behind/under the two, yellow, metalized Mylar caps).

| Electro-Voice E-V SIX Buy a pair of these, to use as subwoofers (no connection to seller): (https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Electrovoice-30W-sub-woofer-speakers-for-tube-amplifier-audio-western-ele...) Same cone material as their 18". EV probably still offers OEM r... | |
| tube noise coming right from the tube Sounds like a bad, brand new, rectifier tube. Possibly: a cold solder joint or loose contact, in the tube socket. | |
| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner To clarify my last sentence: if you compared the intercity reception of the two tuners, with the same antenna setup/direction and the Fisher performed better, it’s selectivity must be superior. And, to correct my Grammar, "(if YOU’RE using the ... | |

| “Marks on the underside” "Perspicacity"? That buyer seems much more shrewlike, than shrewd! ".....not worth the hassle." +1 | |
| Best Power cable around/prefer under $300.... After listening to and enjoying lesser cables, from both Kimber and Synergistic; they were sold to make room for and finance their upper crust wares. No difficulty quickly moving anything I've owned, from either company. Mostly: he... | |
