Adding a 2nd Power Condition vs. a Newer/Larger 1
The key to doing this safely is to recognize the power/current capacity. You would not want to do this with a couple of 1000 watt amps for instance. But you can safely do this with a number of your low power sources. For isolation purposes, keep d... 
HDMI confusion: Monoprice vs. Blue Jeans
If you choose Monoprice, be sure to choose the Professional or Premium version. The most significant difference is the gauge of the wire used - 22 or 24 vs 26 or 28ga.For short lengths, the gauge may not be a factor for signal loss but the chances... 
Suggestions how to repair these
For a pot to be THAT gummed up that it is stuck sounds like it MAY be past the point of repair. That being said, you have nothing to lose by trying to clean it with contact cleaner. It looks like the easiest way to get to them is to remove the woo...

Check out Richard Grays Power Company. I don't know if it works on 230 volt but he makes an isolation transformer that is a stepdown transofermer - the Substation model that converts 240 to 120v.http://www.richardgrayspowercompany.com/products.asp...

Tube Sources for Exemplar 3910?
When I called John Tucker about a year ago to ask your exact question, that's what he told me. I think he likes to tinker and will try different caps and tubes to see what combo works best. For exampole, I found out one unit could have Dynamicaps,...

Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550?
MribobI had a dealer demo an a/b comparison for me of the Parasound vs the MBL 8011's...it wasn't close; the mbl's were much tighter; cleaner; smoother; and richer than the Parasound...and run a lot cooler...was not impressed with the Parasound...... 
Which solid state amp for Von Schweikert VR-4.5?
Tube540,Getting back on topic here.An excellent choice! Honestly, given you list I don't think you would have lost with any of them. I own a pair of 4.5's as well and power them with Simaudio W5. I used to own a DNA-1 Deluxe in a different system ...
