| Amplifier Orientation? Stacking shouldn't be a problem but I would remove the top and (if possible) bottom covers to improve air flow. You could probably disconnect the tiny (and noisy) stock fans and put a bigger (and slower) mother under them -even try locating the fa... | |
| What's the best sounding dome tweeter available? I like the Scanspeak "Revelator" -very open and detailed. | |
| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Sounds like FedEx has a point. THEY didn't pack the remote which "came loose from its compartment in the foam packing material during shipment and cracked"; Why should they be responsible? Whomever the packer was is the one at fault... | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? I'm very tempted by this technology but will wait awhile -maybe they'll bring out a 24/192 or SACD/DVD-A recorder. | |
| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? 01. Head demagnatizer 02. Keep everything squeaky clean (capstans, rubber wheels, all heads) 03. Find an alignment tape to zero in your record/playback heads. Basically, this tape (I own one from ??? Discwasher ??? Geo-Tape ???) has identical whit... | |

| Best preamp for Audio Research VT100mkI I've been using an LS-9 to good effect. They are available for $800 or so (used). The LS-2, especially the LS-2B, is also a great preamp. I've used an LS-1 but thought it had WAY too much gain... -might work if your speakers have very low efficiency. | |
| What is the most powerful SET tube amplifier? Yes 55 watts is correct for the Cary. Issue 15 of HI-FI+ (English magazine) shows another design using the same tube which is rated at 100 watts made by the "Metropolis" company. Sorry... | |
| What is the most powerful SET tube amplifier? Cary builds one that is 100 watts/ch. Uses a huge mother of a tube... also, sells for something like $38,000. Sorry if info too informal... | |
