Thanks Joel! Very helpful info. Also, if I decide to muster up the courage to do this myself, are there any instructions already posted somewhere?

Hi everyone, I have the Stockholm V2 and so far I upgraded tube and chip. My next move is to try the r core transformer upgrade, but I need a little help. I'm sure this has already been covered, but I didn't read all 165 pages of this thread. 1- what specs do I need for the r core? I don't...

Hey Everybody, I recently started going back to the gym and want to hear some tunes while I workout.  So, I'm looking to buy some new sports headphones that sound great!  I can't use ear buds because they are too uncomfortable feeling, so it would have to be on the ear.  After a quick web...

I've been eye ballin' Shunyata power cables for awhile now.  I'd like to try one and have decided on a used Black Mamba CX HC.  I'll be using it to from the wall to feed my Running Springs power conditioner.  Right now I'm using an Audience powerchord and it sounds good.  The timing is good...
