| Harman Kardon TA5000x pre-amp tubes I have a couple of old tube radios but I have no experience with tube HiFi equipment so thanks for the advice. I bought this receiver in original condition and I just finished recapping and cleaning it. I have a low volume staticy-crackle in C... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Earle - Guitar Town, surprize 5$ find at the local record shop in an the "Budget" unsorted bin. It looked pretty scratched but i was so excited to find it I bought it anyway. Plays very well (better than most "180g Audiophile grade" new re... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Art Pepper Meets Rhythm Section - Big_Greg - I like me some Boz Scaggs too - nice choice! | |
