Very Small Desktop Speakers
2nd the FPS monitorsfrom VSA. I use it to stream Sirius and sounds pretty decent for low volume listening while I am cruisin' the 'Gon. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Ain't nothing out there to prevent me from sending hate mail when Ah feel like it. Its almost funner than openin' a can o' whoop-a$$ on some blue state liberal ;~) 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
To lonelynote and others- Unless I miss my guess, Onhwy61 was "riffing" on the DK Integrated Amplifier marketing hype/Audiogon demo thing, where they solicited volunteers via Audigon, to do an in-home "review" to be published unedited, on-line. No... 
speaker connections?
Aball- The late great Sophie Tucker once said in response to a similar complaint, "Get off my back" ;~) 
Current tube Manufacturer's as good as NOS Best
Search the archives; much discussion. Basic answer is cost of R&D and tool-up not recoverable with low volume market at present. 
Paint Removal?
Don't forget that acetone, MEK, laqueer thinner are all HIGHLY volative/flammable and adsorbed thru the skin. Use w/good ventilation, gloves, and no open flames.

Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?

Review: CM Labs 914 Amplifier
Ferrari- Yeah, that's right. I bought the pair used a local dealer in CT. 
Review: CM Labs 914 Amplifier
I had a CM Labs amp and pre at one time; my first high end pieces. Pre was a CC-3, I think. Amp was a big monster with dual VU meters. Maybe a 917, not sure. Think it was 150 wpc. It was a rocker, that's for sure and I loved it until a lightening ... 
Turntable Hum
do you have the TT grounded separately to the pre-amp? 
Is 200 watts too much for an NHT AudioCenter One?
Easier to damage a speaker from clipping due to pushing an amp to hard, than from overdriving the speaker with clean power. 
Looking for info on a Llano Trinity 200 amp
Hi Mike- I've got a Trinity 300, and Denf is correct. There are two right speaker outs and two left. If you are running conventional single wire or biwire cables, you just use one set on each side. For using a double run of cable on each side (tru... 
Problem with American Beauty DVD-A
Actually, all I have to do is roll over a tv on a cart and replug it in, add a video cable and viola. Just too lazy these days. Going to see some hoops tonight, maybe when I get back.
