I can't believe I joined this site over a decade ago. Thank you for everyone who has helped me along my way!

I have a HK A230 Ballad with a noisy input. I have changed cables and it still comes back. At first I could just wiggle them, but now I have to pull them off and reinstall to get it to stop. Maybe deoxit?

I am looking for a upgrade to the iems that come with the Roku for late night tv viewing. I would like to have something comfortable but decent sounding. I will get a head amp to power them as my TV has a stereo out which goes to my bedroom tube integrated currently. Budget would be couple...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of any long term problems with wrapping speakers with plastic wrap to store in a closet or garage cabinet.

I have a couple nakamichi and pioneer decks and I'm looking to do some maintenance on. Any places to avoid while shopping for belts? I appreciate all the help.

I'm having trouble finding this out, but are DM 602 S3 woofers the same as S2? Or any other B and W?

Purchased a couple records from him, they arrived safely due to the fact the two decent albums we're protecting them. Going to save his filler for player copies for my kids. Once again another great transaction from another great Ak-er!

Hi all, I got a pair of DM 602 S3 that somebody decided to paint the Kevlar woofer. Any idea how to clean it off?

Sent me some of his all gone ICs, quick and painless like all his other transactions. Kinda sad he won't be selling them anymore:(

My nominee is @mswanson65, he sent me some lps that were shipped for battle. I mean like it was gold bullion not just vinyl gold;)

Hello wise sages, I have no problem figuring out how to clean the cabinets and the grills, but what to do with 30 years of Gunk on the drivers-meaning dust and dirt, maybe some dead bugs. What's the go-to without hurting anything? These are ADS L810s if anybody's wondering.

Looking for recommendations for better connections for my L300s. I'm guessing banana plugs? But which one? Thanks, Jeremiah

I find this is one of the questions that vexes me the most. And I don't mean the debate between solid state and tube, which is another whole can of worms. What say you, Audiokarma? Where do you draw your line in the sand? I don't mean any particular brands, just looking for your approach to this...

Hope one of our SoCal peeps get it for a good price https://www.estatesales.net/CA/Anaheim/92806/2177445 No afflilation except I want it ;) Also a Pioneer receiver and a Akai tape deck

Got a head shell holder from him, beautiful work with packing like a tank. I should have him shipped my next turn table;)

Hi all, I don't know if this is the appropriate section or even where to ask if this is not but I am looking for someone that specializes in Harman kardon tube amps for repair. Mods if there's a section I should be asking this in please move or asked me to delete and reask my question in that...

The wall warts that come with my gear have always seemed cheap and I think I should be replacing them, but with what? Are there any specific things I should be looking for in a power supply? All advise is welcome.

Tubes arrived perfectly and quickly!

I have this original intact Philco 46-1213 mono console I rescued from the curb. I'm not really interested in restoring it as I have two other mono tube amplifiers receivers. Should I just dissemble it and save the parts or is there another use like a subwoofer amp or mono block? when I mean...

I'm currently using a pl-41 in my main system and was thinking about upgrading but I don't know where to go, new or vintage? Get a better cart? Or why am I wasting my time? I'm looking for suggestions, opinions, tales of caution, etc. Thanks in advance

Hello, I'm thinking about getting a old clock radio and was wonder if there were any insights y'all might have? Brands? Availability on parts? Something that might be specific to clock radios?

I don't want to sound like a total idiot here but are there banana plug extensions?

Local CL ad to me, is this a good deal? Don't really have the cash but if this is a steal I will go snatch it up.

I don't know if I'm way off base here, is there any kind of trickle charger to keep tubes warmed up without them having to be on all the way? Or is the draw with them on but not playing so negligible that doesn't really matter?
