VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner
As mentioned, I would first suspect the drain being plugged. If you have the means to blow compressed air up the drain tube, even blowing by mouth(clean the tube first of course). It really shouldn’t take much pressure to dislodge any debris. Once... 
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
Audioengr, if I understand you correctly, you are stating that BNC to BNC with an RCA to BNC adapter is better than a cable terminated as required? So the 75ohm properties of the signal are corrected by simply adding a second BNC connector? Just t... 
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
Thank thank you both, for your responses. You have added to my belief that the adapter really isn’t hindering performance. I am curious to try a few different cables, I brought home a Cardas Clear, but the connector won’t go into the Node2. They h... 
Any good right angle power cables?
Depending on budget, I think most companies would accomadate a special order. Years ago I had one made at Cardas, it was on the outlet (male) end but they would surely have a remain IEC as well.

The Beatles, White Album 
McIntosh 402 amp channel stopped working
Knollbrent, I also have the 402 and use an Anthem D2v that I run fronts via ARC Ref5se thru unity gain. I see you tried running mono and both channels worked, but you don’t mention if you used Balanced or SE connection. Have you taken the cover of... 
PMC or Proac st RMAF?
I didn’t see them, but I wasn’t looking for them. I also don’t recall seeing them listed in the show guide. Good show though. 
Replacement Linn LP12 mat
Also a previous LP12 owner and as stated above the Linn mat will yield the best performance. I was told that Linn has a wall of mats and belts that they have experimented with thru the years and have determined the current products are the best. I... 
Marty Balin has passed away.
Indeed a sad loss. His work with Jefferson A/S and KBC was classic. Thankfully he left us with great recordings to keep his memory alive. 
For those of us over 60..
Thank you, Roxy54. An attempt at listing would never be complete.

All of it. Some are load bearing and some just fill in the holes.
