Wattgate IEC does not fit tight.
I use the entry level FURUTECH Audio FI-15 Plus IEC's. They are $50-$55 on eBay. They fit butt tight and dont move, plus high quality.   
Modular LP record storage suggestions
The Boltz units look like a perfect solution that will fit in my office, and be bomb proof. But you guys have scared me off of them, and their website is slower than molasses. Ikea, looks like flimsy junk that ends up out on the curb.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@ minatophase3  Understood. I tried calling twice today, no answer. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm also going to ask why the speaker binding posts are upside down. To use forks/spades, you have to enter from the top only. You should be able to ente... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@ minatophase3 I just got around to installing the two Acme Audio Labs 12 amp fuses. The factory fuses however are 16 amp, not 12 amp. So I cant use these two Acme fuses, wrong value. So if you installed 12 amp as you posted, you used the wrong v... 
Beware, scammers everywhere
@cohicks4  Scammers cannot pull money back from your bank account from a cleared check. A cashiers check is drawn on bank funds as it was purchased by the user. So, you deposit it, it clears, the money is yours. If the check is a fake the bank wil... 
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Thanks for posting Steve. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at building, starting with power cords.   
Western Electric 300B problem
There is no way Uncle Kevin is burning in WE 300B's. Possibly if they have been purchased, and then only if by request.   
What I have found - Makes a good Cable !
@williewonka  Is your cable making webpage gone? I can't find it, and your link doesn't work.    
Shrink Totem 1's?
Repair or replace that tweeter and sell them. Then buy something that works as is. Those are great, very well made speakers, with nicely braced and crafted cabinets. As a lover of "vintage" Totem products, I am appalled that you want to chop down ... 
Shrink Totem 1's?
Why not cut your amp in half while you're at it. Save space and use less energy.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@fthompson251  Are you still saving for the Spatial Audio Raven pre amp? I am leaning towards the Atma-Sphere MP3, or a used LTA with level two upgrades. The MP3 is superior, but twice the price, and they do not come up for sale used. Well only v... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@minatophase3  Did you have any problems with the S5.5 blowing the ceramic fuse? Plus, I can only find one place to buy the slow blow 12A 5x20mm, Revolution Power. Partsconnexion doesn't have that size and spec in stock.  
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
I have read many negative comments on forums over the years about Cary’s service department. Plus bad customer service. Are they really to be avoided? If so I’m scratching the SPL-05 pre amp off of my list.   
Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant?
Thanks avanti1960, that’s very helpful. I am favoring a Coda amp, or possibly the Atma-Sphere class D mono’s.They both have balanced and single ended inputs. The Coda has 26db of gain, the Atma-Sphere class D has 22db. So if I want to run balanced... 
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
The Kirmuss is an effective system, you just have to be willing to spend the time needed to perform the cleaning process for each album you clean.  @vinylvalet, is there no rinse involved with the HumminGuru? Thats an attractive price, even for t...
