| ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking? I saw a mod a while back for fans that we're much quieter. I wish I could remember where I read it. I believe it used some high quality computer fans but, I'm not certain. Do some googling and you may find it. I have a VT-200 and have mine closer ... | |

| Pass Labs 350.5 or 600.5 owners--breakin time..... I had a 350 & now the 350.5. They both took 250 to 300 hours. The .5 was the shorter of the 2.

| New Al Stewart remasters: any good? Recroom,Compare to the original Arista releases these are an improvement. They're not the best I've heard but they're not bad. I think you'll enjoy them.Tim | |
| Nakamichi Pa-7 Nakamichi CA-5 Noise Problem Input I too had a similar problem. I floated the ground on the amp(cheater plug) and the problem diminished. I also took two 75 to 300ohm transformers and connect to 300ohm sections together. that'll give you two 75 ohm f connectors to patch into your c... | |
| Wadia think I should put my new 270se on??? You may also want to talk to Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound. He has some aftermarket carbon fiber cones that fit the Wadia perfectly. These a are an easy swap and I thought they made a wonderful improvement to my 861 that was modded by Stev... | |
