    TD125 not powering up - need local tech

    Hello all - I'm looking for some help with a Thorens TD125 mki that I just bought here on AK. Received it yesterday and sadly it is not powering up at all. I checked the fuse and it seems to be fine - thought it maybe it had been jostled loose in the ship. It was packed very well and the seller...

    Klipsch RP-600M - believe the hype?

    Thought I would post this as a general public service to anyone out there who, like me, reads all the latest audio reviews despite his (or her? so rarely her) better instincts, and who therefore is curious about the recent rave reviews for the Klipsch RP-600M. Herb Reichert went bananas in...

    Swapping arms and armboards between AR the Turntable and EB101?

    Hello all - AR specific question here. I have an AR the Turntable and I think I'm going to buy an EB101 (later U.S. made EB101 with the crescent shaped armboard). The AR the TT has a Linn Basik LVX on it and the EB101 has an SME M2-9 (one of the big reasons for my wanting it). What I'm wondering...

    New tonearm on AR the Turntable? Jelco 750?

    Just got an AR the Turntable in great condition and it sounds so good I'm thinking of giving it an overhaul, new springs and studs at least (motor is silent). Tonearm is a Linn Basik LVX. I could get a 10-inch Jelco 750E for pretty cheap and I'm wondering what you suspended tt folks out there...

    Counterfeit DL-103?

    I decided to finally see what all the DL103 fuss was about and try one in my office system. Bought one on USAM that was admittedly priced surprisingly low but I snagged it very soon after it went up and the photos showed a cart that looked exactly like every DL103 I've ever seen including the...

    Change your tidal password - I just got hacked

    Just a public service announcement for anyone out there using Tidal. My account got hacked and I was frozen out of it. Got back in by contacting Tidal and it seems like it's all good now, we'll see. But I urge you to change your password if you haven't done it in a while, and make it something...

    Think I fried my G3000 today... can it be saved?

    Hooked it up at my office, had it playing briefly and then lost sound. Looked over and smoke was escaping top vent. Turned it off, investigated and... having sloppily rushed to connect everything the unruly + and - wires on my right channel were touching (damn those tight little terminals). So...

    Power Conditioners... the final frontier

    I've gotten so much good guidance from AK over the years, I felt it was high time for me to share some of my experience that might help somebody make a decision. I've been wanting to write something about this situation for a while but just haven't found the time. I'm home sick today, though...

    Any Quicksilver Mini Mite owners out there?

    I'm considering buying a pair of mini mites that are available locally - amps were built in 2008 and stock tubes have been upgraded, supposedly have low hours on them (jan/phillips 6l6's output and telefunken 12ax7s input). I just got new speakers, very efficient Triton Twos replacing my good...
