It was half solid state, half tube.I loved it with all my heart, when it was working.I sold it for junk after it stopped working again... (It sat in my closet, broken, as an obj... | |

| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... Yes a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.Stop now if it is ok!!!Just think if you mess with it and then it REALLY SUCKS!!!???????????????????????????????????????But if you just HAVE too... good luck! | |
| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? A serious reply.I have had systems since 1965.That first one lasted 15 years when I sold everything and moved across the country.Another pickup system lasted about three years, it was all junk but provided music.I started my current system in 1984... | |
| Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... I would think it is a resonance problem. Your room with your stand is just messing with the electronics via some high frequency vibration. As you found out, just changing one thing in this chain will stop the problem.You might experiment with diff... | |
| Help I think I blew a tweeter. yes you can replace the tweeter, and I am certain you can assign the blame on you son.Any amp if overdriven produces clipping and THAT is what destroyed your tweeter.It Is worth the $$$ to fix. And it is most cerainly the tweeter, and probably not... | |

| What was your first system, & did you like it? In 1963 or 1964, I saw a Garrard turntable the Lab 80. And I was transfixed! I just knew I had to have it. (I was like 15 years old. A $100 bucks then was a LOT).So I got it, and a Fisher pre/amp combo unit. A pair of J.B.Lansing speakers (I do no... | |
| 100w class A or 200 w class AB ???? One point missed: a 100 watt 'real' class A amp would use enough electricity to power your whole house, just idling. And it would serve as a great winter heater too. (the 'real' because even very good class A amps change over to AB at some point i... |
