| Help wanted: Bass! Fireplace!!!!! That's it. Your lows are going up your fireplace.Block your fireplace, close the flue, etc. I had an attic fan in my house...no lows until I got a powered louver for the big hole in the ceiling. | |
| SS to valve Switching from s/s to tubes may not be a step up.... Modern day amps from both camps meet in the middle of sound expression. Make sure the amp you buy is the one that pleases you most, after trying out others. | |

| When does seller's responsibility end? I would say the seller's responsibility ends when after plugging it in/setting it up it works as described. To be generous I would give the buyer 1 day assurance that all is well. It is the buyer's responsibility to immediately check it out upon... | |
| Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion If you get in touch with ClearDay cables, they will send you a review pair to test in your system. I found them fabulous, and not expensive. | |
| Cartridge Demagnetization: Moving Magnet/Iron vs Moving Coil Processes I too have a Fluxbuster...but be careful.
