    Dyna Pas-2 Just Want to be Careful

    I have not used this preamp in about 6 years, it has been in my living room(inside) all this time. It is ok to just turn it on with a normal start or does this require slow start regulation? The preamp worked perfectly the last time I used it.

    Thicker Speaker Cables with Low Powered Solid State Amp/Receiver

    This is not about thicker fancier cables being better or worse, Do they require more power to drive speakers regardless of impedance? For example would it be ok to use Mit Music Hose speaker cables with my Marantz 2230 to drive either Kef Reference 101's or Linn Kans?

    Camber 1.0 ti Bashed in Titanium Tweeters/Torn Woofer Surrounds

    Spendor S-20 Should I?

    Had a pair of these years ago but sold them..I went to check out another pair that was advertised locally. It turns out that one of the woofers has a crack in the surround. Woofer was still firing but with a slight buzz. I think that it can be glued back as there was an old thread about this, If...

    Harman Kardon Receivers and Protecting Your Speakers

    i own a 430 an A-401 and a 330b. I love the look and sound of all of these but am a little concerned that they do not have speaker protection relays. All of these work fine but are unrestored.
