Carver and Tube Life
Doesn't Bob offer not only a 20 year warranty on the amps themselves, but tubes also?  That would really ease my mind.KT120/KT150 tubes aren't cheap, especially if you have to replace a bunch.+1 on Al, (he's our treasure), no you can't have him :-) 
New Funk Firm Achromat Warped
I have several of the Funk Firm mats and all of mine are perfect.  I have never needed or used the adhesive discs.One of my favorite mats.I agree that you really shouldn't use these on top of another mat. 
Customer Service Experience with REL
Since I have a unique insight into this, (I was a dealer in the USA for many years), this is what should have happened:1.  Customer contacts dealer and tells him what happened.2.  Dealer contacts his REP, (not the factory) and tells him.3.  The Re... 
New Vinyl
Don't know why you're getting defensive?  I'm entitled to my opinion just like you are.  I never commented on your's.  Just stated mine."Let bygones be bygones and celebrate the achievement."I stand by my above statement, no matter what the honor ... 
New Vinyl
You may have noticed that at the most recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, David Knopfler refused to attend despite the pleas of his bandmates. That means nothing, but I admire him for it nonetheless. I don't admire him at all.  I thin... 
Old 1980's British Loudspeaker Logo
Thanks. I’ve been through that list and a couple of other lists, still no luck. I’m trying to get a picture of the speakers themselves with/without the grills on.What started this, is a friend of mine had a friend of his, find these speakers for s...

It's L-Acoustics and that was one of the first I checked.AFAIK it's always been Linn Systems, (or Linn Products Limited) and their logo is way different.  Unless maybe in the "very" beginning, Ivor used that logo???

Anyway thanks, for driving me crazy. LOL...Sorry, it's bugging the crap out of me too. 
Old 1980's British Loudspeaker Logo
Don't think it was Rogers either.  Some research I've done suggests it might have been a subsidiary of a larger speaker manufacturer or even a house brand of a larger dealer.I had a Team Electronics store and we sold the Atlantean and Award brand ... 
Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs
Thanks for my chuckle of the day.Because alcohol cleans well and has no effect on vinylPretty sure that alcohol releases plasicisers and bonding agents from the LP depending on how strong it is...

Thanks guys, but it's not Lowther or Leak, I checked both of those already.I just can't put my finger on this.  These were sold here in the states and the model was a 2-way with dual 8" or maybe dual 6" woofers, one on top and one on bottom of the... 
RIP Dave Wilson
Sorry to hear this news, and surprised. I knew that his son seemed to be taking over, but I didn't know that Dave was sick. I posted this several months ago:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dave-wilson-s-healthI was really hoping and pray...

RIP Dave Wilson
What a brilliant man. Meet him several times and had the pleasure of learning many things from him. He will be missed.R.I.P. Dave 
Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C
Just to clarify:A LOMC set at 47K ohms is technically and electronically NOT "unloaded". Granted it might not do much with it, but it’s still loaded at 47,000 ohms.Rule of thumb, (as stated above) 10X the internal R is the best place to start. Pro...
