    New Stereo Hobbyist wants a TimeFrame HT system

    Kenwood KR-9600 - Preamp problems?

    Power Conditioners - Do they make a Difference (poll)

    Curious to test the waters and see how many have tried power conditioners and to post their experience with them. Poll above should be interesting. Any additional comments as to whether they made a positive or negative difference (or nothing) ?

    What silverface receiver did I have as a youth?

    TLDR: which big late 70s receiver's got perfectly cylindrical, not-as-long-as-Kenwood, toggle switch tips on the front panel, which extend deeply their slots without getting narrower, combined with a silver backing to the tuner dial? Hi all. New user, trying to figure out what my first receiver...

    Imagineering - monster receiver specification wish list.

    Okay - so let's say it is, ummm - 1983. The receiver wars are all but written out for history.
