If there is no obvious change to your system itself, I would suggest ruling out electrical service by temporary use ("in-home evaluation") of a power regenerator along the lines of PS Audio Power Plants or Torus Power. (Right now, PS Audio has a g... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? I have bought a few incredibly great pressings from http://www.better-records.com ...but they are absurdly expensive.

| Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?) Thanks for all the feedback. I explained the situation to my neighbor and I then sold both units to HiFi Heaven in Falls Church, VA. He will restore them and sell them. My neighbor no longer has them sitting around, and instead she has a check for... | |
| Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?) @czarivey Why do you say these two pieces are worth restoration? (I think they have very elegant front panel layouts and are functionally well appointed.) | |
