May as well call this...
Pictures are great for dicussing sound room layouts and such. I would also like the ability to add likes (and dislikes) to posts!  
Contact Dennis Had?
Can anyone recommend technical folks who would be good at modifying a Cary SLP-50a preamp? 
VTL repair success
Definitely not a fan of VTL service, and if I needed service I would try to find another source. And I would never buy from them again, because of that. 
Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help

Speaker Road Trip
