Anybody know where I can get my LLano serviced?
If you're near the Dallas Fort Worth area I would get contact Freeman Tuell 214.324.1132. Marvins Electronics in Ft Worth would be my next choice. I've got two Llanos myself. A Trinity and a 100S. Good luck and happy listening.

Oh Brother Where art thou? 
need a good preamp for around 500
AES AE3 used. You won't regret it. And if you buy used you should have money for another set of tubes. I love mine. It adds warmth. The first thing I notiticed was that I could hear the wood in accoustic guitars. 
Needed subwoofer Recommendations.
I second the HSU brand. I have a VTF2 in my bedroom system along with two pair of Bostaon Accoustic A70s for L&R and I love this sub. 
floor standing speaker platform questions
I have a pair of Hales Rev 3s and because of my height and that my listening chair is a rather large wooden rocker, I decided to raise my speakers. End result is they are spiked, sitting on square foot concrete stepping stones (painted black) and ...

Using older cable in new system? Need advice...
A while back i was at a freinds house who had a decent set up albeit like 15-20 years old. Klipsch Heresys etc. I looked at their cables and mentioned that newer cables would help. They thought I was crazy. So later I took some newer ones I had us...

Find an AES 3 made by Cary under the name Audio Electric Supply. I've had one for at least a couple of years now and I just love it. Watch for a used one here on Audiogon and be sure to get a couple good NOS (new old stock) tubes. I bought a few S...

Fixing a dent in a whoffer cone
I once used the wine tool which lets you reseal your wine with a vacuum. It worked, but the "kiss" idea is the same principle. And y'all are correct in that it's just a dust cover and does not effect the sound. 
Dual duty and LOUD
I used to own a pair of Polk SDA SRSs. They could easily play well beyond stupid loud and with no distortion. They're big and I often wonder how they would sound today compared to my Hales Rev 3s, which cannot be played near as loud. The good news...
