Who do you recommend who you have had experience with making custom fabric dust covers?
Thank you, just contacted him for quote!  
Sansui?
An upgraded Sansui TU-X1 tuner was the best sounding tuner of any I have ever owned, and I have owned many high end tuners. The upgraded Kenwood KT-917 i have is close. Better resolution but not quite as lush and with not quite as big a soundstage... 
Luxman vs. Luxman Ultimate
Indeed I was wondering if they had higher quality parts and better parts matching, including for all the tubes including the 50CA10 output tubes. One other characteristic feature for the Ultimate, at least for the lx-38 integrated amp and cl-36 p... 
Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
Altec Model 18, 604-8h alnico coaxial, mantaray horn, 9cu.ft. Cabinet.  By far the best of all the speakers I have owned.  Just amazing with good tube amp.  But very hard to find.  I’ve only see one other pair for sale in the last 10 years.  
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
iPhone 7 streamer + Audioquest Cobalt DAC. Spectacular. (Luxman LX-38 Ultimate Tube Integrated, Altec Model 18 speakers)  
Good Alternative to Sbooster 12V 0.5A that is less expensive
Thank you.  I contacted Swagmanlab.  Looks like the 12V 2A linear supply is the right one.  Sincerely, Don

The best looking speakers
Altec Capistranos.  1950s design with solid wood top. Incredible piece of console furniture and terrific sound quality. I had a total furniture restoration done so mine are like a brand new pair.  Reversed the baffle board on one so they are a mir... 
Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
Hello Pablo:What frequency are you crossing over at between the sub and the Lams?I recently visited the RL Acoustique website. Robert has not updated it in 4 years!? It is the same as when I visited in 2002. I was looking out of curiousity for the... 
Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
