NSFW pop ups. C'mon Audiogon, get it together.

I will have to get back to you. My iPhone is busy cooking a Moroccan beef tagine.  
what is more popular silver or black face plates
I purchase a fair number of used components, so I have given up being that picky. That being said, I find myself grouping them by colour on the rack.

Right channel dead on AR VSI 75
@dweller  I had the right channel of my integrated die on me recently. Two visits to a repair shop an hour away, a total of 5 weeks without it and it turned out to be a reasonably new RCA interconnect. Sometimes the least likely cause, isn't.

Power Distribution - to separate source components from amplification?
I run a combination two channel / home theatre setup so I have all the two channel components, except the integrated amp, plugged into one power conditioner and all the HT plugged into another. The only things that are shared between the two syste...
