    White Oak Phase Linear 400

    I have a donor Phase Linear 400 laying here, and it's lacking purpose. I'm considering running it through the White Oak upgrades, and I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the process. 1. If I do it myself, what's it cost? How many hours involved? 2. If I send it off to somebody else...

    Someone to haul speakers from Oregon to Minnesota?

    Hi, There’s a set of KEF 107 speakers in Oregon that I’d love to buy if I could get them to Minnesota. They’re big and heavy, 46” x 18” x 14” and they weigh 100# each. I know it’s unlikely, but I’ll post this on the chance that somebody is taking a cross country road trip. I’d be happy to...

    Anybody want to haul speakers from Michigan to Minnesota?

    ...or maybe to somewhere in Wisconsin or Iowa? It would need a fair sized pick-up or van. Two speakers 180# each. It's a long shot I know

    TAD-150 Help with Tube Selection

    I have a TAD-150 preamp. Works well and I generally like the sound, but it's slightly on the bright and fatiguing side. I've heard a Cary SLP-90, and I liked it much better. It's darker, richer, fuller, and more bass. Can I improve the TAD with some tube rolling? Does anybody have any...

    Customs when buying from Canada

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm looking at buying a used McIntosh amp from a private party in Canada. Do I have to pay any duties or import fees when shipping to the U.S.? Does the amp have to go through customs? Any insight would be appreciated. Swilton

    SX-1250 Transformer, ATT-267

    Are these transformers repairable? I can hear arcing/sizzling inside mine--like the insulation might be burned off between adjacent windings. I pulled it apart, but it's potted inside. Not sure where to go from here. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for the help!

    Help! How Can I Use Multiple Receivers?

    Maybe this has been addressed before, but if so, I haven't found the thread. I'm hoping somebody can help out. I've got a master plan to set up 5 different vintage stereo receivers/amps in my living room (Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Sansui, and Marantz). Then I want to be able to use any one...
