Replacement bulbs for Pioneer SA 7700 Amp
Take the cover off your amp and use a voltmeter to measure the voltage to the lamps (usually 6, 8, 9, or 12 volts). Also measure the diameter to the closest tenth of an inch. Inspect what type of leads (wire connections) the lamps have. Then you c... 
Help: Noisy Rowland 10 power supply
Yo Jacpiii, it sounds like a diode or one of the filter capacitors gave up the ghost. I would suggest that you call Rowland and get an RGA (return goods authorization) for repair. 
Can hear TV or Radio station via Phono stage ???
Yo Jfrech,The interference you are hearing is caused by a strong RF (radio frequency) signal that is finding its way into your phono stage, cartridge or cabling. Start by unplugging everything. Disconnect the phono stage from the preamp, the phono... 
Krell KSA-200 Should I Or Shouldn’t I?
Yo Marcus,Not unless you are planning to have it changed over to 120 volt operation at the factory and the price is good enough that you can afford to add that cost and still be well under the going price. I don't recommend trying to run it on USA... 
Turntable/arm short list suggestions, please.
4yanx,I recommend the SOTA Star or Star-Sapphire with vacuum and an Audioquest PT-6 or newer tonearm. The suspension system in the SOTA is second to none. They are upgrade-able. Sota is selling upgrades as well as refurb units and there are plenty...

HDTV newbie seeks wisdom on setup-Thanks
Yo jaglvr,The 34XBR2 doen't need at set top box HD tuner...it is built in. It doesn't have a DSS tuner so if you want to watch satellite, you will need to get a DSS HD tuner like the Sony HD100. As for the digital channels that are not watchable, ... 
Cigar Smell...How to get out of Maggies??
Dan,Lay them flat on a counter or workbench and apply a thin layer of baking soda on the fabric. Let it stand for 24 hours and then vacuum it off using a round brush attachment. Turn over and repeat the process. If it doesn't work, then you may ha... 
Where R U?????
Yo Tireguy,Greetings from Albuquerque. It's just about in the middle of nowhere. So you're not from Akron??? Whatsup with that? Don't you have to live in Akron and work for Goodyear (or some other tire company) if you're gonna be Tireguy. How quic... 
Help - B&K AVR305 relays are "chattering"
Yo Jim,Look into the following possibilities:1. What kind of wire was used in your home...copper or aluminum? If it was aluminum you might be getting some arcing in the receptacle that the B&K is plugged into. It will read fine on a voltmeter,... 
Another Hum Problem Question
Yo Claud,I suspect your hum is caused by the new interconnects. You mentioned that "If nothing is connected to my amp, it's quiet when every thing else is cut off. If I connect the balanced ICs I get a low volume hum through the speakers."Since yo... 
Speaker Mods?
Yo Alfred, While I am not fond of aluminum dome tweeters, their sound can be improved on by several methods. Before you go buying new drivers, you might try upgrading your crossover capacitors. By replacing the caps with high quality MIT, Zen, Har... 
B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804
Yo Jeffc, The N804's are nice speakers and can be made to sound even better with the addition of a sub. B&W has a sub that will add the bottom octave and take a little load off that NuVista amp. I recommend the ASW-4000 (if you feel like spend... 
biamping my Virgos - can someone educate me?
It shouldn't be to hard. The Virgo crossovers are parallel wired so you can add a pair of terminals that would be connected to the low pass filter for the woofers. It would need to be disconnected from the rest of the network. The bandpass and hig... 
Is my dealer lying to me?
I agree with Natalie above. She is giving you good advice. I think that the better question is: "Is my dealer giving me good advice or just trying to make a sale?" It sounds like the advice is questionable at best. With the current state of your s...
