'crackling'when using volume ctrl
Mingus- I believe the VK3 (I know my 3i) uses a digital volume control and so the dirty/dusty mechanical pot is not an issue here. Sorry but I can't help you track down the actual source except to note that BAT's customer service is second to none... 
Very Interesting Audio Website
Anybody beside me want to see the picture of the Soundlabs from the other side? Just wondering what kind of cables he uses ;~)

Day amp arrives Cashier check returned
Hey Glen- Nice to have a happy ending; real scary that the bank could foul things up so much. I now bank at the largest New England regional bank and most of their folks are clueless. And the phones for the branches are unlisted, you have to call ... 
...there is an interesting record:
I tend to agree with the random play idea; with some exceptions for "concept" albums, altho even then it may be a good idea periodically. 
7308 tube code question
Ed's right re: 7308, and I'm second if you decide you don't need/want'em. They are a great replacement for any 6DJ8 or 6922 (or E88CC or ECC88). 
LAST???? Has anybody tried this?

Cardas replacement cord for Sennheiser HD-600
Well Chichiuno, if you've got something to say, don't beat around the bush ;~). BTW, I've dealt with those folks and they were a pleasure to deal with. 
Diy Watt/puppy clones: follow up
Way cool! 
Convert 230 volt Musical Fidelity amp to 115 volt?
In all likelihood, a technician can make this change. I had a DAC changed by the manufacturer (Classe') at a cost of US$50. 
Headphones and amp questions
Actually, you can do as I did and buy new from a poster here on Agon for about $240.00. They came thru just fine and I'm very happy with them. My other recent phones were Stax Lambda Pro Jr. 
looking for inexpensive speaker spikes?
Anyone know the thread type for LINN Index? I bought mine used (no spikes). They are fixed to the stands, a little heavy and it would be a real hassle to take to the hardware store to find the right bolts to make some spikes. 
Best Multi-disc player/transport with AES/EBU out?
Well, the CL-10 has both (aes/ebu & co-ax, and it also has ST/ATT glass as well. I'm quite happy with mine used as a transport via the AES/EBU output feeding a Classe' DAC run balanced to a VK3i/Dna 1 Rev B.
