How to tell whether a Usher BE-718 is North Americ
Why don't you call Usher with the serial numbers and they can tell you for sure.

I see a lot of audiophiles, here and on the Audio Asylum whining about Audiogon. If it is so bad, why are you all still here? I have built an awesome system because of Audiogon. I could never have afforded it if I paid retail and I have made a lot... 
Long Speaker Cables/Short Interconnect or reverse
Weebeesdad.........I am in the same position as you. I run 20 foot pair of speaker cables under to the floor as my speakers are on opposite sides of the room from the audio rack. I am using an Audible Illusions Modulus 3B and for the same reason y... 
Help with Belles 350a
Tape monitor switch engaged, not on proper input, muting on? Did you check for this? 
My audio rack is bright, will sand fill help?
I think you mean VTI audio rack. As far as I know, VPI doesn't make racks other than the one the TNT came on. 
Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant?
The D 03 uses the Analog devices AD1955 dac chip. Don't know much about that dac but I do know the newer Esoteric stand alone dac's use the AK dac chips. Since the p/d 03 retails for 28,000.00 I can only assume it is an excellent product. I would ... 
Who here loves his/her Rogue Audio Integrated amp?
I replaced an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A tube preamp and a Classe Model Fifteen amp (175wpc) for a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated. I am very happy and enjoy the sound on a daily basis.

Changing Preamp tubes on a Cronus Magnum?
I bought a cryod Mullard 12au7 nos tube from Kevin at Upscale Audio. I noticed the difference as soon as I inserted the tube as it was quite dramatic. I received it earlier today. The Mullard seems to have done the trick. There is now the desired ...

Lewinskih01.. used pc under 500.00
My Asus laptop has a dedicated usb3 port and 2 usb2 ports. Never a problem and absolutely no skipping. I also have a back up of all my music on another hard drive (just in case). 
Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable
Thanks for everyone's help. I decided to wait a while and see if a used Dyna 20x2H comes up on the Gon. I'll try it on my Scout and make my decision based on what I hear at that time. 
Has anyone heard the Von Schweikert V22 speakers?
I have never heard any sibilance in the VR33's. The Scanspeak silk dome tweeter is very smooth and sweet. 
Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable
If I upgrade my turntable, it will be by VPI. I have no desire to change brands of turntable. No offense to the Well Tempered owners, but their turntables are much too delicate for my home. I never cared for the sound of them and they look cheaply...
