Keith Monks RCM MkII - Help Requested From Owners
I acquired and older KM RCM recently and it too only has one tube -- but two holes -- flowing from the solution jar. My hand pump no longer works -- the plunger mechanism goes flat and will not release unless I disconnect it -- but with the next p... 
Question re Monks II cleaner
I have found the answer. Sorry to trouble all of you. 
Shanling tube cabe removal assistance
I was never able to completely remove the lower ring -- I could get one post out and then had to rotate the ring away. The first time I changed tubes I had to use a needle nose grip to loosen the post on top of the lower ring -- wrapping the post ...

Mounting Graham 2.2
Doug: Thanks for your thoughts -- as it turns out, I over-estimated the difference -- it is only about 2-3 mm's -- not good, I know, but much better than 1/4 inch it seems. I'm looking for a temporary fix while Nottingham figures out how to make m...

Room Size and Loudness
Thanks for your thoughts. When Barry Wilis at Stereophile reviewed my speakers he described what I am myself experiencing this way: "[In the 12 by 14 room] the electronics were impeccable ... but [the speakers] really came to life only at music le... 
amp fuse
Unfortunately, Radio Schack does not carry every fuse -- it did not carry what I needed -- you are more fortunate than I. 
amp fuse
Once you identify type, etc. check fuseone.com -- it seems to have every conceivable fuse-type an audiophile could need -- and at better prices than manufactor's replacements. 
VTL POD's
Zaikesman: Thanks for the very thoughtful response to my question -- I've been helped by your comments here on audiogon more than once in the past, and your thoughts here were very helpful as well. My "electric improvement" project began this fall... 
ARS Tubes
I got routed to the Tubemonger page today and as I was scrolling down the page I spotted the tube I've described in this thread. It was listed as a RFT E. German Tube -- the replica tube printed on the actual tube was identical to that on the ARS ...
