Recommend Sony Amp Repair In Los Angeles
In LAhttp://www.georgemeyer-av.comI believe there may be mixed reviews from years old threads. My personal experience with them with an amp repair was great. Friendly, fast turnaround. It was a warranty issue, so can't comment on rates. 
Disappointment with Pro-Ject...
"I've tried every trick I've seen on every forum and nothing has remedied the issue."Does that include using the $2.00 home depot ground lift adaptor plug?  
Tired subject...Steely Dan original pressings
thanks for the info Andrew9405My  neighborhood record store(yes, I actually have one) has a well informed employee who always gives me a "stamper" alert if something new and interesting comes in.CBAT was the latest, so I went for it.  Glad I did. ...

Tuner tragedy!
"Thanks for providing your thoughts on the Rush reissue - I was really hoping that someone had heard it"Greg-I may be wrong, since I HAVE NOT heard this reissue. Just can't imagine it being the exception to my experiences. I'm  ashamed to admit be...

Greg-regarding your post of the Rush 2112 reissue.Follow your gut... rock reissues, with the exception of unobtanioum, is to be avoided. Through patience and persistence, bin diving rewarded me with  an unmolested period 2112 not long ago. As alwa... 
Tuner tragedy!
Thanks for the insight. Im guessing the cable is original, do you know what material  is used? I will also consider the dental floss-unwaxed, I presume. 
Tuner tragedy!
"The easiest solution (which might sound crazy) is if you can, simply superglue the ends of the broken string together and then refit it."Greg-that sounds like something out of the the playbook-"what would Mcgyver do?"Im gonna open it and assess d...
