Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
Most of sciences can be easily checked and challenged with elementary math equations:for example:poor education = strong police and army = lots of wars = lots of dummies that willing to spend money on various type of unnecessary cwap = resisting a... 
What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon?

Where you’re local to?Technically, I don't have to even open a unit to blast this kind of diagnosis! They did not provide details. It's not sufficient explaination of the cause.A power supply as well as output stage consists of circuit elements th...

Fixing up Pioneer PL-115 Belt Drive TT
a touch slow is more-likely the result of lower frequency than 60hz.renewing cartridge leads inexpensively can be done at kabusa.com. this website is very poorly designed and it would take a time to make a purchase compared to one-click on ebay. 
DAC or CD Player. Help!
