| i need some help with a pair of paoli amps You've got high voltages present in tube amps. If you're not familiar with safety procedures at higher voltages you should stay out. These could have enough voltage in the caps right now to give you a pretty good jolt even though you may not have ... | |

| Suggested midrange fix for Thiel 2.2 speakers? Parts Express lists several Vifa speakers on their Website. (No affiliation).

| NAD 2600 and thumping noise If you can turn the speakers off before powering up or down, do so. If the amp has a headphone out that shuts the speakers off- you can insert cheap headphones or a dummy plug (just buy a 1/4 in stereo phone plug from Radio Shack). I had the same ... | |
