Where To Buy Cable Elevators/Risers?
My "cable elevators" are inexpensive but effective (as far as cleaning up the rats nest) and aesthetically pleasing. Got to eBay and buy some vintage glass insulators. You can even mix and match colors if you are so inclined. Secure the cables to ... 
best integrated amp.
+1 for the Modwright KWI-200. With the optional DAC and Phono, it pushes the price up a bit but on the used market it is not so bad. I do own one so, naturally I am biased. That said, I am completely satisfied. The 200/400 watts of SS power is no... 
What Cartridge please?
I third WillieWwonka's suggestion about the Soundsmith DL103R.I went this path and preferred (by a wide margin) my wood-bodied Soundsmith Denon 103R with ruby cantilever over Grado Platinum, Shelter 501, 901 and Music Maker III. This was on a Tere... 
Kenwood KT-990D
I don’t think ota radio is dead yet. I find myself listening to local stations ota because I can’t stand the low bit rate rate versions. Yeah, the perceived variety of computer based audio is compelling but the simplicity of just spinning a knob a... 
Songs that trigger you to switch the station or...
+1 for Hey Jude. A local station always announces their mandatory Marley. I appreciate the warning. And anything by Nickelback. To the one who mentioned Stairway - that's just wrong!:-) 
Buzz coming from power amp - not through speakers
I may be interferece getting on your power lines . The transformer in that amp is apparently more susceptible to it than other amps. Check for any flourescent lights or dimmers being used that use the same circuit. It could be getting worse each t... 
PSB Stratus Gold Tweeter Replacement
You may not be able to find it because it may be a custom design made for PSB. I would do what Bill_k suggests and contact PSB. Sometimes the mfr can be pretty reasonable about supplying replacement drivers and now you know it will match the other... 
Power cord length?
Get the exact length you need that will give the shortest distance to your outlet that won't interfere with your signal cables (and won't look like a temporary install - i.e. don't make it too short). If you have to cross over your signal cables, ... 
ModWright Transporter right channel question...
It could be any number of things. I would suspect a bad cap somewhere in the output circuit. Before trying anything, give Dan Wright a call or an email and ask him. Dan is very responsive and is willing to offer some self-diagnosis tips for you to... 
Do It Yourself Hallographs
There is nothing special about the wood. Use whatever wood suits your fancy. Check the woodworking websites to find a color that suits your decor. 
What amplifier do you use for your Dahlquist DQ10s
I have a pair of DQ-10s that I drive with Proceed HPA-2's (250w/ch). I also drove them in an HT setup with a Parasound A51 (250w/ch also) both to good effect - they loved the power!As others have said, current drive is the real requirement. The ot... 
Is the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 outdated
I just read the Stereophile review and you would be crazy not to go for it. The specs are terrific and if you like what they had to say in the review, then that will not change even 10+ years later. I would say get yourself a used price bargain an... 
What to do with old Thiel CS-2s
I'm suspecting shipping back and forth to Thiel would preclude an economical solution. Not to mention the mark-ups that they would add to any repair parts - after all they are a for-profit business. I would try to see if they would sell you the dr... 
Best cheap speaker cables............again
Try Canare Star Quad 4S11 (or 4S8 if you prefer thinner gage) from Have Inc. (they have it in bulk or terminated in grey or black!)or Blue Jeans Cables.Plenty of info on the net about this cable performing well above it's price-point. Some would e... 
Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
I like Blackhawk Down. The only thing missing is the wind from the chopper blaades bowling me over.
