Klipsch Speakers
My klipsch forte 4 just arrived last week.  From 1 hour to 10 hours of listening, it is not bright for me.  It has about the same "brightness" level comparing to my other system (Luxman 595A, JBL4349, mixture of furutech and inakustic power cables... 
CEC CD3100 CD player tray belt, puzzled indeed!
I cannot explain and do not have time to investigate.  After reading your post and my cec cd3100 also has the belt problem, I divided to try with few sizes of rubber bands.  I notice that it would not read if rubber band is tight.  I just swapped ... 
Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions
I don't think it's the coupling cap. It's the cap in the power supply or the connection to the "problem tube location" caused the tube to flash. I had similar problem with rogue amp. Not sure the cary uses wire or printed circuit for connection. A... 
Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan?
I just did my 10x20 room. I had one outlet for AC and lights, one just for audio that has 8 outlets. Besides all the suggestions, one thing I wish I should have also added was running 2 sets of opposite phases into the audio outlet for noise cance... 
Preamps w/ polypropylene caps in power supply?
I have used poly caps in all my components and replaced the electrolytic whenever possible(space limitation, values of cap, cost etc.) Not all poly caps are the same. Some may be good for bypass and not good for coupling. One has to try until havi...

Capacitor update - how do they sound like?
To be clean in color and background, change the resistors from the sand white type to one such as MILLS Non-Inductive Wire Wound Resistors. Changing magnetic core inductors to air core inductors (will create more loss due to more turn so have to r... 
Capacitor question
You may want to parallel the vcap with POI to get the mixture of sound. Play with the values. 
Best 6SN7 Pre Amp tubes?
My answer may be partially relevant. I have BT and Kenrad black tubes. The BT is more open and Kenrad is smoother. 
Monster Cable
off the topic a bit here. I tried Acoustic Research Pro II RCA. After that my Kimber Hero, LAT, Cardass and whole bunch others just go to a secondary system. Best part is that it cost my $4.99 from Ebay. New from part express is $20. !!!!Save your... 
Looking for CD players with digital inputs.

JM Lab Diva Utopia problem - need help
I am not sure this would help. I had similar problem in my energy speaker. After trouble shooting a little, I jumped to the conclusion that the speaker has the problem. I actually removed the speaker for fixing. In the end, it was one of the tubes...
