| Noise/distortion coming out of speakers Turning the volume control back and forth is a temporary fix. Radio Shack sells an electrical contact cleaner with a lubricant perfect for volume controls. This will end your problem and improve the sound. Of course this depends on the type of vol... | |

| Opinion of Quicksilver KT88 60 watt mono amps It depends on the condition of the amps and the condition of the tubes. If the tubes are either old or not matched well a replacement set of tubes will run you about $400. The price range in good condition is $800-$1,000. | |
| Something comparable to VSA VR-1s If you don't mind waiting VR-1s show up regularly or you can try a "Want To Buy" ad. I have several monitor speakers including VR-1, Green Mountain Audio Europa, Revel M22, Spica TC-50 and a few other speakers. I highly recommend trying Bose 301 s... | |

| used amp or amps for B&W 801's in home theater Gz3827"For any 801, you'll be better served with solid state."Not totally true. The 801F sounded amazing with an Audio Research D-79B. "Probably the more power, the better."Again not totally true. The best I have heard 801s was with 100 watt Class... | |
| Maybe Get a New Electrical Panel I am sure the materials used in your 1965 panel are much higher quality than the materials used today. Beside, an electrical panel for $949? I agree with what Elizabeth said "a chunk of crap". | |
| KRELL Mono Class A amp problem When amplifiers have not been used for a while it is a good idea to start them up slowly by using a variac. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? It used to be when a speaker was bright it was considered to be a speaker designed for marketing. When comparing speakers in a stereo store the brighter speaker gets your attention, but when you get it home you change everything in your system in ... | |
