| Virtually free system upgrade? Ozfly,The floor was probably not contributing as much as you'd think. When I had the addition with the music room put onto our house, I specified that they put the floor joists on 10" centers rather than 16" centers (and I think they sized the joi... | |
| Virtually free system upgrade? BTW, I don't think I made it clear in my post above that I never heard any buzzing or rattling while music was playing, but the sound still suffered. | |
| Vandersteen subs 2wq vs the rest "Can't there be a sub made by another company that hooks to my Casablanca sub out (not that goofy speaker wire way of the vandes)".It was pointed out to me by Audio Physics' designer (and I have found it to be true) that the use of the "goofy" spe... | |

| Velodyne ULD-15 II sub performance Congratulations on meeting Messrs Fletcher & Munson for the first time. It's not your woofer, it's your ears (Mine, too. His, too. Hers, too.)! Check this link for further explanation: http://www.webervst.com/fm.htm | |
| subwoofer rattles like hell Common sense dictates that, if the unit contains 2 identical drivers, and only one rattles, there is a problem with the rattling one. As was mentioned, check the tightness of the screws on both drivers (always a good idea on subs!). You may also w... | |
| More Questions about Dedicated Circuits Amen! Couldn't have said it better. Of course, the real question is: Why do people look for answers here from people (mostly) lacking in credentials and/or credibility, and then take their word as gospel? | |

| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Rabih Abou Khalil's "Al-Jadida" is a sort of Arabic jazz CD, played by Western and Eastern musicians. A friend and I heard this playing in Tower Records many years ago, and both of us bought it on the spot. I didn't even own a CD player! | |
| Help with inverted phase Newbie Question Jshaw, This thread is about absolute polarity, AKA The Wood Effect. You are talking about reversing line and neutral on your power connections. It is generally recommended that, on equipment with 2-prong AC plugs, you should use the direction that... | |
