Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?
Thx, Atmasphere. 
Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?
Thx, Ralph. Again, really frightening that the Bias Measurement and Adjustment Instructions include the following statement (and I quote) "The voltage is 0.20V. Low voltage settings cause output power down by well for the tubes life". I don't mind... 
Hum inside adcom amp and hiss at tweeter
The hum from the front of the amp IS from the power xfrmr. It's probably a result of DC on your incoming power. It is almost certainly not a ground loop. As far as how hot the amp runs normally, that depends on a lot of things, including how far i...

Anti static foam?
Just to be clear, I have no idea if this tweak has any technical validity behind it and I sure don't know if it works. And w my degree of technical astuteness (not), there is no way I'm messing around w the innards of my digital gear.

Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?

Scratched CDs
If they are not too badly scratched, I've had good luck w the disc-doctor manual machines. They use a very mild abrasive strip along w a liquid cleaner to polish the surface. Another very mild abrasive you could try is toothpaste. Some 'philes pre... 
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday
Aaronknock- Agree w most of what you say; my comments were directed at the total set-up which was why I tried to focus on which rooms I liked. But...as long as there is no gross mis-match somewhere along the line, the speakers TYPICALLY (not alway... 
Anti static foam?
Geoffkait- Elizabeth did not say the the foam's antistatic properties were the reason why it worked. What she actually said was:The idea of the antistatic foam is to remove the RFI as it is generated, suck it up and ground it to the chassis.Csonto... 
Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel
Why do you think it's the preamp and not the amp? 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
similarities between individuals or social groups foster the exaggeration of tiny distinctions in order to generate or validate uniqueness or superiority.Well said Dr. F and most appropriately quoted, Wrm57. I think all 'philes should paste it on ...
