Ok - I think was covered on this forum and I searched for almost an hour to find the answer but to no avail. I was playing records last night and embarrassingly fell asleep. I woke up 4.5 hours later and the record was still spinning. I cleaned the stylus with my Zero Dust cleaner and it...

Hey Guys, Quick question, my son has recently moved to a smaller room and therefore his old sub cable was to short. He was using a silver cable that was made by a hifi shop years ago and frankly it was a good performer. I was helping move and to get his system up and running we ran a bought...

So for Christmas I first bought my son a PS Audio GPCH Phono stage and which upgraded from a Jolida. All I can say is WOW what an amazing improvement, better in every possible way. So I am a nice guy and decide as his birthday gift (6 months early, lets see if I stick to my guns) I upgrade his...

Greetings - Here is the situation; I sold a Musical Fidelity KW DM25 DAC/Transport Combo to a person in London in mid March. This is a two piece CDP and it had to go in to separate boxes. He asked they be sent USPS so I obliged. They both cleared customs about the end of March. One...

So here is the situation. My son has a Conrad Johnson Met 1 6 channel analog tube preamp. Just this weekend we added a Conrad Johnson 5 channel amplifier. They both were plugged into a Shunyata Hydra power conditioner. When I we turned the amp on we got a loud very audiable hum. So we...

Hi All, I recently sold my Pass Labs X600.5 mono blocks and this is what DHL did to them. Needless to say the buyer was less than happy. As you all know these are big heavy amps that are very well built and holy cow that had to take quite a tumble. Oh yeah the both arrived damaged.

Hi All, I am looking for you expert advice. My son is looking for a 5 channel amp under $1000 Audiogon price for a 5.1 or 7.1 system. His L&R channel amp will be either Pass or McCormack. He can't afford to get a 3 channel or 5 channel Pass or McCormack amp so I was thinking: Rotel RMB-1075...

Hi All, I was wondering your opinion about putting ML Summits into a smallish room. The room is about 18ft (but extends to a great room which is about 30ft long) x 18ft x 9ft. The Summits are a pretty large speaker but I still think they can preform in a smaller room. I have attached a...

Hi All, A little bird has told me that Pass Labs has fired all of its U.S. dealers. Pass was afraid that the internet was killing their U.S. prices and has put a stop to it! This means you will no longer see places like Audio Video Logic selling Pass for way less than it is worth. Pass...
