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.  
What does your Virtual System page say about you?

Sad news. Only saw her in concert once, but she was everything I hoped she would be. RIP

220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier
You want to pack up a huge 60 pound amp and ship it across the world to Spain AND buy a $500 to $800 big, ugly transformer that may reduce the sound quality? Duh. Just sell it and buy something new when you get there. It's just an amp and buying...
