Poor man's IC cooker?
Thanks 76! I'm just a little lost here; can you pass along the link to his site? 
Poor man's IC cooker?
Okay, I see that. But that would suggest current is more important than voltage for IC burn in. Do we know this to be the case? I mean, it is a tradeoff to some degree. Isn't a higher voltage better for dielectric break in purposes? 
Best component video cable under $150?
"Silver is a bad idea because it can tarnish very easily and depending on how the wire is terminated could seriously affect how long the cable will maintain optimal performance."Cinematic_systems, I've been using silver (not silver coated) audio c...

Isn't a value that low a little risky, Bob? Is there a concern that a preamp may not be able to drive into a load that small without potential problems? 
Poor man's IC cooker?
I just had a thought. I'm sure this has been discussed, but WRT dropping the load resistance... what is the more important component to burning in an IC - voltage or current? If I drop the load value I also drop the voltage across the two conducto...

Hmm, that's a great thought, Jeff. We do have a Goodwill store a short drive away.

I'm glad to hear that this seems like a good way to go. Jeff, unfortunately the only sources I have are my turntable and CD player, neither of which I want to run for a couple of hundred hours straight.I picked 100KOhms because that approximates t... 
Anyone compared Guerrilla PC's to anything...?
Vernon, which ICs were you using? And did you replace them with Guerilla Silver or Copper? 
Need HT cable advice.
Scott, I've just been testing Bettercables Silver Serpent component cables against the 7712 set from Blue Jeans and, while they are both very nice, I happen to think the Bettercables produce a slightly beter picture (and sound, if that matters) in...

Superfund, thanks for the confirming update. I will definitely give them a call to find out what they might be able to do with my PDT3 tuneup.

"The $1000. is the most you would pay if the product was totally rebuilt."Sgr, I don't doubt what you're telling me, but at the time I spoke with them this is not what they said. I had to ask them to explain it to me three times because I could no... 
thoughts on nordost thor?
Dolphin, I would like to hear your thoughts on how these others compared to the Adept Response. If by some chance you had already done this in another post please post the link.

Has HSG eliminated their $1000 up front cost for any work on older products (like my Proceed)? I wanted to send in my PDT3 for a check of the laser assembly and to determine if it needs to be replaced, and they said it would cost $1000 just to loo... 
Fix up my old AR or get a new table?
Iopsc, where would I get a new motor? 
Michell Technoarm vs Origin Live Silver vs ???
Slate1, the TecnoArm sounds very similar to the Brit Audio SE version mod of the RB250 and RB300 arms. Have you any opinion of these arms?
