| Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck I would take a disk of plastic and cut a slot in it that will accept a screw-driver, then glue it flat to the outside face of the fuse holder, making sure that each of the pieces of the old fuse holder are bonded to the plastic disk. Epoxy might b... | |
| Another speaker placement question. HELP Square rooms are difficult but since your room is not "really" square, who knows? Speakers wider apart than you are from them is a bit unusual. I would try moving them a little closer together and playing w toe-in. | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall Two VERY different sounding speakers!! Not an apples to apples comparison, not even apples to oranges. More like apples to rutabegas!!! IMO. YMMV. | |

| premier headphone amps Best amp will vary w (primarily) impedance and taste but on the tube side I have used and liked Audiovalve RKV, Glow One, Cary 300b and Berning Micro-zotl. Benchmark DAC-1 for SS. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Yves- And that speaker would be?????????????? | |
| attractive modest power tube amp?? I've owned 2 on the list, the Cary adn teh Glow. The Cary is head and shoulders better but is about 2-3X your budget. The Glow is a very nice product and of course has the benefit of the USB DAC. |
