PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
Hearing differences in the directionality of fuses is a feat that deserves great attention because it is likely a rare phenomenon. The world has seen many exceptional human feats and this is certainly one of them. I'm thrilled to be in the presenc... 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
I totally agree with Al and Edorr, but for the sake of your peace of mind, Knghifi, install back to front as you noted in your op. This was discussed on the PS Audio forum.Cheers!_Ben 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Sounds like the speaker is so resolving/revealing that every microscopic movement makes a night/day type of a difference, as in, this is a "very" high level speaker that involves a ton of critical care and not just your average/typical (cost no op... 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
Easily the PWDII. As the review in the current TAS states, it is "one of the most musical front ends at any price." I couldn't agree more. 
Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better??
The new class D: read about it here 
Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better??
What is being written about the new N-Core technology sounds like a real game-changer. Pricey stuff though...Class D just got a whole lot better (than class A..? Well, that's what's being said by some industry leaders)...read up folks.

Krell S-150M Mono Blocks
Thanks David. I did indeed read your post "after a year," and I appreciate it. I too like my S-275 better than many amps I've heard and had in my system at similar prices. I do prefer the bigger (and better...much more pricey too...) Krell Evo 402... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Zeal:Try this... Disconnect one speaker from the amp - either speaker - (turn amp off and remove one set of speaker cables from the amp). Fire the amp back up and position your ears below the "firing path" of the tweeter (literally get up and move... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Zeal:Optimal space restrictions prevent me from bringing the speakers out into the room as far as I would like. I have ample room on each side (a little better than four feet to each side wall), but only two feet from the front wall (behind the sp... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
I just "upgraded" to the Pioneer S-1EX's and I am flabbergasted... They are brand new, fresh out of the cases yesterday and they already sound very very good. I haven't been so pleased with a speaker purchase in a long time. There's typically been... 
Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons
Thanks Richards.I've heard some great set ups that effectively integrated subs. I my case, the monitors - as good as they are - were just too small for my room.I now have the S-1EX's set up and I am very happy with the way they "resolved" the issu... 
Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons
I tried feverishly to incorporate a JL Audio sub with my system. John, from Audio Video logic, was kind and generous enough to come over and spend a couple of hours. John brought with him his "tools" and measured pink noise from various positions.... 
Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons
Thanks guys...appreciated!I am glad to hear from some who have had success with even one sub. I've heard that it can be done. I do remain skeptical though based on the known issues associated with integrating subs. I hope my dealer will allow me t...
