Symposium Segue ISO
That shelf is made of butcher block?  Of just what the TT was sitting on?  I have a bud with 2.5 inch ins butcher block and am thi king of making a five tier shelf with a Syposium top for my Avenger.  Not sure how to do that.  Would the symposium ... 
Symposium Segue ISO
Can you post a pic of the entire rack?  How did you switch from the butchers block to the segue on your rack?   Is the rack a DIY?

Almarg, no I have not. 
EAR 890 crackle and hum
Joeinid, thanks for the thoughts.  I have tried different tubes.  The one 890 plays perfect but the other( using the exact same tubes) persists in its noise.  When sent off for service, the issue isn't recreated on the shop table.  Granted, they a... 
EAR 890 crackle and hum
Dan, I have taken the offending amp and placed it in the same spot, same IC's, same PC, same tubes, same pre, etc and even all by itself(the good one is totally disconnected) the noise persistsp 
Losing out
Spencer, thanks for the sage council. Option B would have been a good one if I had been wise enough to think Ali g those lines.   Live and learn.  I do get it now. 
Losing out
As stated people I get it.  Sorry for the mini vent.  Perhaps I am "ticked" at myself.  Though I still wonder about that 14 hour gap.  Surely it afforded time to alert me that another player was involved.  When I placed the offer it was still open... 
Losing out
I get it.  BUT, I said I would let him know before day's end.  I did and placed the offer at our agreed price before time ran out.  Why the delay?  I was struggling with a nasty, nasty cold and was communicating at work between appointments.  Stat... 
VPI Avenger
I have the Avenger with two 3D arms and love it. I set it up myself with the assistance of a bud who knows far more than me. Relatively easy process. I find it to be fabulous. I've had the Scout and an Aries 2 and will be a VPI'er for life. Great ... 
EAR 890 and KT120
Shaizada, just saw your reply. I love the 912. Perfect with my dual armed VPI Avenger. Been liking the Zesto very much. Had to send it back for a minor "repair" and pulled out the 890. Love that one as well.Just scored a pair of Tannoy Kingdom Roy... 
I just picked up a classic Sansui G-9000 stereo.
Thanks for the advice offered thus far. Yes, I believe it would be a step up transformer. Outlet is 110. The unit says 220v.Pat 
I just picked up a classic Sansui G-9000 stereo.
Sorry, post got cut off. It's a Sansui G-9000 stereo receiver. I believe it was purchased overseas. The sticker clearly states 220V. Can it be modified to 110V? This will be set up as a secondary system powering Legacy Victoria's and a Krell KID. ... 
Zesto Bia 120
Hifier, I won't use allow the fancy words like decay, holographic, blah, blah blah. It is just clear sounding and precise. I feel like the artist is in the room. I am hearing things on albums that I never heard before. All the music and voice is p... 
Zesto Bia 120
I have this amp and love it. No complaints. It is living up to Mr.Levi's review in every way. IMHO. 
phono stage with two inputs
EAR 912 is great. All controls right on the front. MC/MM, doesn't matter.
