| Advice on how to get FedEx to pay up on damage The best way is to NOT ship! Drive there for a hand to hand exchange. Audio Research Corp. has designed proper packing and double boxing. I cannot remember seeing their stuff damaged. Loose fill (monkey nuts), white foam (no matter how many layers... | |
| What are the Best Sounding FM Tuners My Technics ST9030 FM with 8, yes EIGHT gangs in the front end, sounds best, and more natural than the clinical sound of carriage trade units like previously owned MR78's and Magnum Dynalabs. It has 'the look'.The rounded tube sound of my several ... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have 1976 Kawasaki KZ900 in-line 4 with Kerker pipe, finned covers everywhere, bars, and the rest is stock. Last of the spokers! Still in near mint condition at 22k miles! | |

| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? A new "Where Do We Live" thread, and it is probably already in the A'gon database would be an interesting exercise.

| Amp recommendation for ARC and Thiel Traditional! My vote, anyway. | |

| Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it? The shot melted! Ha! Ha! Reminds me of a calamity that occurred 30 yrs. ago. See, I had to melt lead into bricks to use as ballast on my racekart. So I got these discarded printing plates by the 100's. Late in the night I took a metal ice-cube tra... | |
| Dayton Wright Old man Mike Wright lives near Toronto. Certain he could help. Try my buddy James who knows Mike and who owned a pair of DOUBLE STACKED Electrostatics ! Mike used to vist James regularly. Amazing sound, though I no nothing of the DW Pre either. My... | |
| How does Krell KAV 400 XI compare to KAV 500i The 500i is quite hard to find, much better sounding than the 300i for example. Everyone I see on A'Gon goes in a day or 2. The 400ix seems to be a popular tryer, time will tell. | |

| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Ddomnick, I empathise entirely...cope no more.Upgrade the gf regularly since having more satisfying, better performing (well, not always), more efficient, better built, fresher, and well ready to review 'gear' around is a means to an, um, end.Besi... | |
| how does upgrading work with Krell amplifiers Is the upgrade a valuable one?...i.e. just what does it improve? | |
| Anyone heard the Ear 324 solid state phono amp? There is an online review in Positive Feedback Issue No 6.Full of compliments...suggesting that it is a competitor for the Manley Steelhead. Pricey at $3600 USD though. | |
