| What's up with TMR Audio? Unlike Amazon, TMR needs to sleep. | |
| Measuring turntable speed The Dr. Fiekert Platter speed app is no longer supported on the most recent apple iPhone operating system. | |
| Buying on Audiogon Wow, you need to disable your VPN to make an Audiogon purchase. That’s really inconvenient, how often does that happen...twice, three times a year? | |

| Pass XP-22 or ARC Ref5se? Contact Reno Hi-Fi who are Pass Labs' largest dealer. They have a 10-day, in-home free trial period to take the guess work out of a Pass Labs purchase. Great period to work with. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Can you take the 5SE to a friends or a dealer (call first) and see if you can duplicate the problem. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE I assume that you bough the 5SE used. Did you contact the previous owner and ask him if he had the same issues? There will always be a bit of tube rush noise coming from speakers, but nothing should be heard from the listening position. | |
