Made in Canada conundrum
onhwy61- Obviously you are unconcious to the realities of the Canadian attitude toward America. You would do well to keep up with current(and past) events: (http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_zolf/20060829.html)(http://www.filibustercartoons.com/... 
Made in Canada conundrum
Canada? Oh yeah- Those unfriendly neighbors to the North! I'm certainly glad that my excellent BAT, TacT, Cary, Magnepan, Nestorovic, Hafler, Kimber, Silver Audio, Synergistic Research and Wireworld products were ALL manufactured down here. The VE... 
How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper
Solder with either WBT Silver or Wonder UltraClear solder. The Alpha-Core spades are a good suggestion. 
Questions about RCA 5751tubes
"Better" is purely subjective, and system dependent. The RCA w/clips may very well sound strident/overly bright in a system that already has that tendency. It does provide the best sound staging of any 5751 type though. In general- many that like ... 
Amperex 7308
YES- Some that were manufactured in the US, under military contract, were labeled, "USN", "USN-CEP" or had a "JAN" designation. Still the exact same tube. There are three colors of label(white, green, orange) and each has a slightly different pres... 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
No need to apologize Mr E- There are also companies that manufacture outboard effects pedals, and guitar amps with options, that attempt to digitally simulate the sound of tubed gear. The vast majority of us still opt for tubed amps though. Nothin...

I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
I have to agree with everything 'N' said about varying aural acuity, and training with regard to "hearing differences". Then there's the other crap he's spouting. It takes MUCH more faith to accept evolution, as there is absolutely no scientific p... 
HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM?
The breaker for the outlet that the sub is plugged into may be on the other phase/rail in your main circuit breaker box, or the outlet could be wired out of code. Either of those could cause the hum also. If floating the ground doesn't work, check...

AMEN!! 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
Dopogue- I had always used Phillips ECGs for power tubes, until the prices and availability(you try and find a NOS, matched octet of KT88s or 6550s of anything, anywhere), made that unrealistic for me. I've been VERY pleased with the latest intera... 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
I haven't found a "downside" to tubes. My love for the sound of the real thing, and the frequency at which I get to hear it, demands that I get as close to it as possible at home. Ditto the cost of the best NOS tubes. My view of their cost is dire... 
Need to replace Subwoofer volume control
Find a REAL electronics supply store in your area, and purchase some residue free contact cleaner spray, like CaiKleen 41 by Caig. Shoot some up the shaft, and work the control back and forth for a while. Sometimes just working the pot back and fo...

Krauti- Here's an informative article that will give you some idea about the presentaions of various 300Bs: (http://www.stereophile.com/features/229/) Pay attention to the paragraphs concerning burning them in before critical listening. Many attem...
