Almighty TT hum --- help
Rockvirgo,Thanks so much for the detailed plan of attack. I shall go forth, put the plan into action and report back! 
Almighty TT hum --- help
It seems I may have misrepresented what is going on here. My cdp and tuner work perfectly with this old NAD and have since I bought it. I actually connected the TT to the tuner and aux sources and the hum was still there (got to be the TT, right?)... 
Almighty TT hum --- help
Thanks for the responses...I just got a chance to do some more investigation today. Here are the results.1. Using both line level sources (aux and tuner), the hum was still present, as loud and persistant as before.2. I checked all connections to ... 
Why so much????
IMHOPeople collect lots of things -- some strange (to others), some not-so-strange. Mention of some of these items has already been made. Why do people collect things? To mark the passage of time. Who among us (even non-music collectors) cannot sa... 
Freaked out about having a TT shipped
John...sounds like a tank couldn't damage the package..but UPS...? 
Freaked out about having a TT shipped
Thanks to all who posted. The UPS horror stories do not surprise me --- I've heard quite a few before. There was no mention of original packaging. However, for what it's worth (which migh not be much), the seller had one feedback that described hi... 
Buying used, US to Canada, tax and duty?
I bought a NAD amp last year from someone in the US. Customs calculated GST on the Canadian dollar equivalent of the US selling price. There was no additional duty. This seemed interesting to me as I was under the impression that NAD was (is?) a B...

Gordon Lightfoot Tribute
He's a Canadian icon and I'm sure many of us (Canadians, that is) were a little taken aback by his illness last year. I think we often take our cultural and political icons for granted. Anyway, a quick "google" yielded the following links:http://w...

All the Cconcerts you can ‘Remember’ Attending?
Like many others on this thread, I'll echo the "too many to mention" sentiment.But the memories have already begun flooding my brain, so here are some notables:Loudest: Asia (1st tour). Small venue. Way too much sound equipment.Quietest: Mr. Miste... 
Todays Raido Stations suck
Eldulcesol...Thanks for the tip about WJZR. If I connect my tuner to my TV ariel (which I no longer use for TV!), I might be able to pull it in from where I live. Then again, I'd be paranoid about lightning strikes!Cheers. 
Concert attendance
Sean...Thanks for your response. My wife and I see PG on his "Us" tour (mid 90's --- where does the time go?). We were floored at the production. An amazing experience. We're really looking forward to this show; doubly now since your post!Cheers. 
Concert attendance
Marakanetz...My wife and I are going to see Peter Gabriel in a new (and quite small venue) in our area this summer. I was stunned at this choice of venue. Usually an act like his would fill a large arena. Perhaps he's scaling down... Anyway, ticke... 
Todays Raido Stations suck
agonanon...I don't actually live in Toronto, but I am only about an hour-and-a-half away and visit occasionally. I have been to George's too, but that was a lifetime ago. I have two small kids and don't get out to hear live music of any type much ...
