How Many Turntables Have You Owned
I wonder if all you Vestigial guys owned the ADC (was that the name?) high compliance cartridge. That was the must own cartridge with that arm. (so I was lead to believe) My Transcriptor or as I called it the Gold Octopus was so sensitive I had to... 
Spilled marinara sauce on wood speaker....
Time to sell those speakers..... Just say they were made in Italy...that should be explanation enough. 
What makes up an
One of the very best ways to achieve a hi end sound is to place your system in a smaller room. Avoid the need for a PA system. Seriously.... I think that in less expensive gear that tubes can create magic that solid state often misses. Now with a ...

Where to send Antique Sound Lab amps for service?
Mitch Singerman in LA 310-823-5145 is an authorized repair guy for ASL. I would really recommend him even though your ASL might be out of warranty. Very modest pricing and be sure and ask him about upgrades. Dirt cheap....

Bass, Frequency response, Etc...Noob Question
Och!!! I used to be a dealer for Reference 3A and used the mm de capos to party with. Great rock speaker. Keep in mind that you are after a speaker that can handle a lot of power without scorching itself. Also to much bass is much worse than not q... 
Build my own speakers?
You are absolutely correct. Most speaker companies do just that. Purchase pretty good drivers and "stick um" in a MDF box. I would go for some space age cabinet material like Aluminum or Carbon Fiber. These and other composite materials will be th...

Zu Druids low powered tube amp or high powered SS?

Best Monitors for Rock N' Roll under $2500
