| Help with Ceiling Home Speakers - New Owner You'll need an amplifier to power the speakers and a source for audio. You can use Bluetooth, but that's not a stable solution for a house since it has such a limited range. The standard would be a Sonos Amp (WiFi network based solution), at a m... | |
| Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 9000 - part/tool or workaround needed Have you looked on Fleabay for one? If you can't find one there, you can try a B&O specific repair facility. There are a couple of them in the US that repair older gear from them and they might have a key for sale. | |
| First foray into tube amps For me, I'd look at the following additions to your list: Decware Zen Torii (Due to a 2-3 year wait-time on builds, keep an eye out for a used unit.) Cary CAD-120S MKII (Slightly over budget, but they do go on sale periodically.) Rogue Atlas Ma... | |

| Dipping my toes into EL84 tubes For under $1000, I'd look here: https://glow-audio.com/collections/amplifiers Nice value for the $$ and with the Amp Two, you get a bit more power. Once in a while, you can find a used Decware for just a bit over $1000. The best sounding amp... | |
| Rel Subwoofer questions and help I ran all the different B-series in my system years ago. I always liked them. I'd keep the B3 pair you have now. The only issue with the ST and the B series (essentially the same amp layout) is eventually the amps fail and they have to be sent ... | |
| Album Purging - seeking advice It depends on how much time and effort you want to devote to this. It's like parting out a car. Sell the whole lot of in one or two shots and be done with it but get less money. Or pick through them all one by one, taking pictures, writing desc... | |
| Need Tube Suggestions for Rogue Dragon Monos Vintage Telefunkens would be my choice. | |
| McIntosh Flunking the Course in Washington State...What Do You Think? Did you call them? Each time I've reached out to them they've been good at responding. | |
