I really enjoyed Michael Fremer's review of the Vincent 236 MK. A $1995 integrated amplifier that he says he would have never guessed its price and "he has been around this stuff for a long time". His conclusion about "proof of the law of diminishing returns" says a lot to me about the performance of this product and one in which I would now recommend to others. I am going to hear it as soon as I can and thanks for putting a review in real world terms.

Been assembling a under $400 system for one of my friends a Doc. Sure you would think he could afford more but he spends most all of his funds on the 6 grade schools he started in Cambodia. [one school can be started for $60k] Hard to assemble a system that sounds fair at this $400 price level even with used kit tried much used most all failed as I tested it, so had to buy new gear except JBL speakers I found used. And now hes been asking for a tuner. And I thank you for the review was a big time saver for me. Take care and happy listening. JK-K.C.S.

So I was watching CARS with my daughter today , enjoying a relaxing time when all of a sudden..BOOOOM.. on instinct I grabbed my daughter and dove behind the couch. Came up cautiously to see smoke pouring from the bottom of my Mastersound Due Venti(20 WPC SET (4x el34, 2x ecc82). and one of the tubes cherry red. evacuated daughter and pregnant wife from the house, went back in , unplugged the thing, and put it in a shipping box.
now what? the amps are made in italy and i aint sending no 60 lb boxes there. good tube gear repair folks in the USA?
websites? names? numbers?

Hello all! I've been reading the site for several months, saving my pennies all the while, and have finally took the plunge! I got a denon DP 500 w/ an ortofon 2m blue cartridge; a jolida jd 202 integrated tube amp. Currently I'm using a set of JBL N26 bookshelfs that I already had... Will be upgrading as soon as I can get the scratch together! haha

So my cousin moved to a smaller house, and shipped his old speakers, which he said were too big to my place. He said I could have them (for the foreseeable future at least).
Just coming here to find out if their good or not. If their decent I may use them.
Their a pair of Welling Speakers. Model: Tuscany Main Speaker
Rated Impedance: 6 Ohms, Rated Max Power: 30-120W, Rated SPL: 90dB, Rated Frequency Range: 45Hz - 20KHz
And the Sub says Welling Tuscanny 10SW Powered Sub.
For those of you that don't cruise the entry level forum... I have been planing a DIY Rack for a while. My dad and I finally got started on it today.
The design is based off of SRA's Craz 4 rack.

We are using high quality maple for all of the wood on the rack and shelf supports. The Shelves will be 19x19in laminated MDF and will be connected to the rack by 3 downward pointing spikes.
