Fuse burned out in shipping? ?
Hi guys, this is a fantastic response and I am very appreciative! It is apparent my original post left out some critical information. As I am a bit short of time I will post again, but here's what I have for the moment:Packaging: the amp was wrapp... 
NAD 2600 and thumping noise
Actually, does anyone ever mod NADs the way Adcoms and other get the mod treatment? 
NAD 2600 and thumping noise
Hi bojack, thanks for the reply and sorry for my slow response. I hate to ask, but is this an expensive fix? Also, is it something I could put off? Finally, if I am going to do that, would it be worth having other work done to the amp?Oh, a stupid... 
lexicon mc-12 balanced or unblanced
I also have a Lexicon MC-12 with v2 software, unbalanced (more fits my personality to have my equipment unbalanced :) Oh, and no, I'm not looking to sell.Because I use Citation 7.1 and 5.1 amps I have no use for balanced outs, so I can't speak to ... 
Designer Hall of Fame
Has anyone mentioned Roy Allison yet? I am a major fanboy of his. His speakers are amazing. He really pushed the envelope by trying different things IMO. I wish the new Allison had managed thru this Deprecession. 
Paypal
Wow, this thread took a stroll down bizarro highway. I hadn't realized that Paypal and Obama were so intricately connected. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Still, I seriously doubt that they will be able to overcome the awesome power of the Gay-In... 
Audiophile 'Attitude'
I hate my iPad..... Where do some of these so-called corrections come from? "wafinally looted"? Wtf?!? She "was completely floored."Ugh, anyway.... The switch from Vandys to another speaker was yet another example of Audiophile 'attitude' but this...

Wow, this buyer needs to look up "anal" in the dictionary.Okay, I agree with most of the comments I've read here. Yes, technically you have failed to provide what you promised. OTOH, many manuals, such as those for my Maggies, are actually just th... 
Help me buy some new cables....
Unfortunately a much better reply was lost when my browser crashed, so this will have to do. I've no completed the acquisition of the first group of tryout cables. Since OCC-type cables, and Vampire wire, had been highly recommended to me, I initi... 
Help me buy some new cables....
I hate my iPad....... Where did "notwithstanding" to moderators come from? It was supposed to be NOTE to moderators. Makes me look like an idiot when I am clearly more of a bonehead. ;)Thanks to everyone again for helping me. I've got a more in de... 
Vandy 2W w/o crossover
Hello all and thanks for all the very useful responses. Yea, I am familiar with "Dick" Vandersteen. I have met him twice and spoken to him numerous times. He used his 'amazing' people skills to convince me to sell my entire seven-channel Vandy set... 
Phono Preamp Recommendations
Bondmanp, I feel so silly. For some reason it didn't occur to me that the phono preamp would, of course, be plugged into the Radio Shack. And yes, this would almost undoubtedly lack the resolution to make out much difference. Ugh.... So often the ... 
Lenco Lamp Replacement Bulb
Hi Lewm, thanks for the reply. I actually did that, although admittedly not an exhaustive search. What I found led me to post here. Essentially, I was not able to find anything that met the exact numbers on the bulb, although I realize now that th... 
Phono Preamp Recommendations
I hate to resurrect a very old thread, but there as someone looking to get back into vinyl very soon there is a point here that surprises me:" Interestingly enough have discovered by comparing using the same table that the phono stage built into m... 
Help me buy some new cables....
Hi guys, thank you all for your responses (and thank you Mt10425/David for a very pleasant and informative conversation today; I really appreciate you taking the time to speak with me). To give a few answers:As for eBay, it isn't so much it 'has' ...
