    SME wrench size?

    What size is the little wrench used to adjust the position of a SME Tonearm? I have a hard time justifying $23 for a little piece of stamped steel but I might have a wrench I can grind down thin enough to do the job. thanks Eric

    Audio Research DAC1-20 Question

    So I picked up a real NOS DAC1 today. It’s never been used. Ever. The seller said he threw away the packaging (I don’t know why. Go figure). There are no scuffs or marks on the output jacks so I believe him. Only issue is the Invert switch got snapped off. A new one is $17 on DigiKey I...

    Anyone who considers themself a serious chef use and like an induction cook top?

    I’m considering a induction cook top range as an alternative to the shitty gas GE one we have now. It’s the oven in the GE I hate but a stove that didn’t make the kitchen so hot would be nice. What’s your opinion? Thanks Eric

    So I left my ST2140 on for a a while as I had read and heard leaving SS gear on was actually better but maybe not. The amp was plugged into a good power conditioner. The left channel is dead and when I power off the unit the panel LED stays on for a while. Even if I unplug the amp the LED...

    AMC CVT2100 - Any good?

    I was offered one for what seems like small change for a 80wpc tube amp which makes me suspicious of its quality/capabilities. I’ve had Cary CAD-100 mono blocks and a Pilot amp and they were great. Is the AMC anywhere close sound quality wise? thanks Eric
