My new (old) KAV-250 arrived today, now driving my old (were new) reQuests. I popped the top, all looked to be in order, none of the smoke appeared to have already escaped. It has a thin layer of British Columbian dust on it, seems never to have been opened, no paw prints inside. Moved it into...

Anyone using this site... www.dimeadozen.org Lossless (when possible and appropriate) "recordings of indeterminate origin" for torrent download. Think tapers and traders. No MP3's. No commercially released recordings allowed. They occupy a "gray area"...

Fuses and Digital Cables Don't try this at home! No user servicable parts inside! That's a good point. It still has a fuse on the AC main (which I reduced in size and changed to fast blow sized according to testing -- when the power turn-on inrush current no longer blew it, it was juuuust big...
