CJ PV-2ar or PV-7 or ARC SP-6 for Klipsch Heresy?
What power amp? I had a 2AR and liked its sound but if you have a sensitive high input impedance power amp with a lot of gain say 27db then you'll hear a big noise floor with the cathode follower circuit of the 2AR and seldom get the volume past 9... 
Ground 'box' what's in them?
I just read it. I was scared of the 200 plus pages but it was a presentation and was like reading maybe 30 pages. I agree with most of what he said. I don't disagree with any facts he presented. In the end it was GLI recommendation which was a lit... 
Ground 'box' what's in them?
I haven't tried one which I think is really required to do other than speculate. Speculation can be good and bad. Entreq's basic devices don't deal with AC safety ground. They seem to attempt to rid the system of crap that is present at other grou... 
Ground 'box' what's in them?
Hey PNB you got a few things wrong. Like on creating a ground loop as you said this thing does. A ground loop is two or more paths to the same ground. So you are wrong on that as this device provides an alternative ground. This is the kind of stuf... 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
they seem to be pointing at the loading motor gear as I had mentioned on your AA thread. Try the graphite like the one guy said and find that gear so you can inspect itET 
How Pathetic is Welborne Labs?

Metal-base and non metal-base 5AR4/GZ34?

CJ MF2500A or Parasound A21 or ? For B&W N802
I see your selling your 2250 and looking for a 2500. Get an A if you can and also consider a passive bi-amp not really for the extra power but for the image improvement and better coherency. I use a 2500A and an older 2100 together in a passive bi...

Shawn passed away a few years ago sadly. Here is a link to a duet w/ Shawn and drummer Shawn Rickman who is the son of jazz guitarist Phil Upchurch. I met both Shawns a few times.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhTHxkIllvU&feature=related 
Power cord for CJ MF2500A
I dremeled the case and put a 20 amp IEC on the chassis. I'm no fan of the small 15A IEC's especially for big current users like the 2500(A) 20A IEC's have about twice the contact surface area. I noticed an improvement right away using my cord of ... 
Detail Magnifiers by Econotweek
They are a low pass filter not high pass. Their intent is to remove grunge riding along speaker wire which can act like an antenna impeding the best signal transfer from amp to speaker regardless if their quality. RF and the like are generally in ... 
hearing tests - where and how?
I agree that higher would be better. My point was that there are few people that are flat at 8K that don't have roll off at both 12 and 16K say but not enouh to deteriorate their HF hearing. As we loose hearing our brains compensate which is why p... 
TT sounds so bad I cringe - Help Please
Whats the phono preamp with the 25 and the Jolida integrated, you didn't say in the post. That and alignment like Grinnell said. ET 
hearing tests - where and how?
8K is adequate believe it or not. I tested people for five years. 16K is only one octave up. Getting equipment to properly measure higher would be really tough. If you have an HF problem 2,3,4,6 and 8K will show it as will word testing that emphas... 
hearing tests - where and how?
I have tested the hearing of thousands of people and many of them will respond to a tone physically via things like head movement, eye movement and/or a puzzled look on their face exactly when the tone occurs yet won't raise their hand to conform ...
