    Anyone packed & shipped an HK Citation II amp?

    Looking for anyone who has shipped or received an HK Citation II and how it was packed to survive the trip. If you could share pics of the packaging or tips on how you accomplished this feat, I would greatly appreciate it. I've packed and shipped many amps that didn't have original packaging...

    Tube Tech recommendations in Las Vegas, NV or surrounding area?

    And please, don't say Audio Xpert. I like the store, but won't take my gear there for work again. I reached out to Ampmedic...waiting to hear back. I have an H-K Citation II with some issues, experienced tech needed. Thanks in advance!

    San Francisco, CA to Las Vegas, NV...large speakers

    Anyone making this trip, that would be able to fit some rather large floorstanders (47"H x 10"W x 15"D, 145 lbs each)? I know, that's a huge ask, but I have to throw it out there. Compensation would be generous. Le t me know if you're interested. Thanks for looking! Cory

    Vandersteen Model 3A Signature scroe!

    I thought the same thing before ordering my stands...they looked simple, but I was surprised when I received them. They're solid and heavy, not hollow, but I'm not quite sure what they filled them with. They don't make a sound when you tap with your knuckles. Sound Anchors are the real deal...

    Vandersteen Model 3A Signature scroe!

    That exactly what I had done, it's called "external bi-wire", meaning you have two separate pairs of wire connected together at one end. It's different than "internal bi-wire", as mentioned, doubling the cross section. I read the same thing you posted from his website, about not putting bananas...

    Musical Fidelity Owners Thread

    I'm no help with the MF M1Clic...but, with Media Monkey and the MM Remote Server installed on my PC, and the MMRemote app installed on my Android phone, I've had no issues listening to albums in any order I would like, including ascending. I was using that method to play FLAC files via USB to my...

    Vandersteen Model 3A Signature scroe!

    That's awesome, can't wait to hear about it. I've never heard any version of the model 2, but always wanted to. I'm sure you'll be real happy with the 3A Sig's.:thumbsup:

    Vandersteen Model 3A Signature scroe!

    I'm still really digging them! I did get stands, ended up ordering them brand new directly from Sound Anchors. Vandersteen stopped selling them separate from the speakers, and I couldn't find any used ones. I found cone/spike feet that fit, along with little carbon fiber discs to protect the...

    Cleaning liquids for use with a RCM - which ones are good?

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. I ended up ordering the Audio Intelligent 3-pack to get me started, along with 100 MoFi inner sleeves. I had been thinking about upgrading my TT or at least the cart/stylus, but I figured that the main reason I don't listen to my vinyl often is because it's...

    Cleaning liquids for use with a RCM - which ones are good?

    I bought a Clearaudio Smart Matrix vacuum RCM, but I'm new to this type of cleaning. This model is a similar design to a VPI 16.5, where there's a platter and arm wand. I was wondering where to start with cleaning liquids and what the different types are. What are some recommendations for...

    Restoration: Miller & Kreisel Sound (M&K) SV-200B tower loudspeakers

    Hi Henry, welcome to Audiokarma! Did you replace both complete woofers, or just replace the foam surrounds? If you replaced the woofers themselves, what exact replacements did you use, i.e. Where you got them, ohm rating, dual or single voice coils? As far as your issue, I've only had that...

    Sonance'84's stereo evolution (lots of photos)

    I've been changing things up again... The quick and dirty explanation is that I lost my job in March of 2018 and had to sell/trade a few key pieces from my last system; notably the amp, pre and TT. I started a new job a few months later and just decided to save money and use my minimalist...

    Help me find an AV rack like this one...

    Here's the one I ended up going with, the Salamander SLC20 in dark walnut and black trim. I really like it and might even add ventilated side panels as mentioned above.

    Pass X150 test drive

    The new rack is finally set up, and I'm realizing the system has seen quite a few changes since I started this thread. I'll have to update my system thread to show all the details, but here's a few pics of the Pass X150 & friends in their new habitat...

    Help me find an AV rack like this one...

    I ended up just buying the one in my original post, the second pic, but with all black trim and walnut veneer. Should have it in a couple weeks. I couldn't find a similar rack that I liked for cheaper.

    Pass X150 test drive

    It'll all be setup in my living room, same space I've been using for years, and can be seen in my past 'Stereo Evolution' thread. The rack will be new though, which I had to order from a local Salamander dealer. It should be on its way soon, luckily it comes mostly assembled. I think it will tie...

    Pass X150 test drive

    Didn't realize it had been so long since I posted in this thread! Since my last post, I have thoroughly been enjoying the X150. I ended up finding 'new to me' speakers, Vandersteen 3A Signature, that pair very well with the amp. They even moved my M&K's upstairs. The Threshold preamp was a nice...

    Help me find an AV rack like this one...

    As much as I love Ikea, I wouldn't trust it to hold my gear. My amp and preamp are 100 lbs alone, not counting the other 7 components. Also, this is going in the living room, so it needs to look good, while tying all the gear together. Only the first link would meet my criteria, but even that is...

    Help me find an AV rack like this one...

    Thanks for the info. Not really looking to build one though. Those Salamander ones are just examples of the layout I want for a rack...3 spaces wide, 3 spaces high, so I can fit 9 pieces of gear on it. Just kinda wondering if anyone knew of a company that makes them in that layout, for cheaper...
