Please help with subwoofer.
There have been a number of threads posted on this subject. I have not made the test between these two but the general consensus is that the crossover is as (or more) important than the speaker itself.You have a very good speaker in the Infinity K... 
Tubes....did I pass up a good deal?
Too many variables at play here. If Andy at Vintage furnished you tubes you have quality assurance and recourse. If you paid $80.00 at the flea market and none or only one of the Amperex tubes was usable in your ARC, you would be screwed. This ass... 
Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack?
At one time I had four slabs of 3 inch machined Granite and used them under amps, preamp and turntable. After experimenting with them (damping) in every possible way, I sold them. Could never completely eliminate the signature they imparted into t... 
Please help with subwoofer.
How about using REL and hook it (them?) up for HT and two channel, gaining advantage for both systems. There is a REL Stadium for sale here on Audiogon for under 2K, it would definitely do the job. 
Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????
Unsound, you mean you had an eargasm?

Krell1, you might consider the new engineering marvel from Purist, the Venustus. It is less expensive than Proteous and in some ways better than Dominus.I have been testing two pair of these in my system and don't think I will go back. They are be...

I hope nobody puts their mouth on the tweeter after Sanctuary uses the toilet plunger on it.This could lead to one having a bad taste in their mouth over Theil. 
Old Sherwood tube tuner
As I remember, that adjusts the output. Idea being you could have the tuner and turntable (regardless of cartridge) match exactly when you selected back and forth.If the tubes are in good shape and alignment is correct that is a very nice sounding... 
The Mysteries of Random Play
Two possible answers. You have only Stevie Wonder related songs on your computer :^).Steve Jobs had a real thing for "Songs In The Key Of Life" and programed the passion into iTunes.

The shipment of cryo treated Hubbell outlets arrived here Wednesday, November 20th in the afternoon. I finished labels and print outs via FedEx on line very early Thursday AM.Everyone's shipment will go out at the same time, Thursday, November 21s... 
Remote Power Switch for Wheelchair Bound
That Clapper would have it's way with the relay should the stereo ever be loaded up with a copy of "Flamingo Fever." 
Passive Preamp - What makes it work?
Theresa, there are (as always) several views on this subject. Some say that passive preamps are superior and follow the "less is better" rule. A passive preamp can only cut signal. It cannot increase signal if needed, nor can it actively impedance... 
Which Speakers?
There are currently two pair of Vandersteen 4a floor standing speakers for sale here on Audiogon. Both are priced within your budget.I owned a pair of these at one time and I guarantee they will rock your world. Only possible negatives, they are a...
