Powering off vs leaving on
I quick acid test with tube preamps is do they have a power switch in front. If so, the designer probably meant for it to be turned on and off regularly. Most will have a standby switch. When I was younger (27 now) and home more I would leave my t... 
Powering off vs leaving on
If you amp can't run at idle without overheating, consider a different amp! There are many well made amps on the market. If you worried about Air conditioning bills, that's another thing and a valid concern. You do not mention whether this is tube... 
MMGs flat with Complex Music
Temporarily bring them out 54 inches into the room. The guys on the [URL=http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/MUG/bbs.html]MUG Users Group on Audio Asylum[/URL] seem to suggest that is the distance where they snap into place. If it doesn't help, you ... 
MMGs flat with Complex Music
have you tried room placement? I had a similar issue with my MG-0.5/QRs (grandfather of MG-12/QR, similar to MMG) until I got them locked into place in my new house. It seemed adjustments in distance from the wall behind them and with the toe-in a... 
Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres?
Actually the latin meaning makes the most sense. So it would follow what Tobias says and the latin pronounciation would make sense. Like Teresa without the "a." TARE-EASE. or TEER-EASEThat's how I say it. Teres. - When the circumference is circula... 
TV VIEWING DISTANCE QUESTION
The headaches may not be due to the screen being big. Generally, the headaches are a result of getting used to another stimulus, whether it be the "sudden" change in screen size (going to a much bigger screen or a smaller screen than what you are ... 
Too much bass
How far is your listening position from a room boundary? I had a similar problem in my room if I was <4.5 feet from the rear wall. When I moved my chair out into the room the problem went away. Also how close to a room boundary are the speakers... 
breaker,breaker.
Get 20amp. They're not that much more. Other than that I'm not sure the break matters. I don't think I've read anything about any boutique breakers on these forums. I have read about boutique (read: cryo) in-wall wiring though. Also get some Walke... 
Q. on cheap good line contioning
Dedicated lines to the breaker box might be the best bet. Monster HTS2000 et al would be about the cheapest thing that works. Although at the various places that I've lived my VansEvers power conditioner has worked better than a Monster HTS2000 al... 
A "bit" of information
Sure, if it was perfect. But it isn't. We have CDDA and SPDIF to contend with. And our methods of dealing with these appear to be flawed. If it was WAV files read over something like USB or firewire, we wouldn't have a lot of these problems. But w... 
Arcam DV79 and Samsung DLP - your thoughts please
720p at 46 inch diagonal? I'd get a bigger set unless I only sit 6-7 feet away from the screen. But I'm used to front projection. So take that with a grain of salt. 
Zyx R1000 Airy3 vs Universe
Nate, try ALT+0246 from you numeric keypad. รถ I hope that helps. Aaron

Hmmm. I get much better than AM radio-quality sound from my $300 MMF-2.1 with it's sub $100 Elan cart. i'm running a HagTech DIY Bugle phono. So something is wrong if you spent $900 and got that sound. Two tweaks I did but it didn't affect the pro... 
Best Find Ever???
My wife. She literally doubled my music collection when we combined our libraries and it has since doubled since then (in the past year). She is a true music lover and aworld class woman. Everything else I've paid fair market value for (no steals)...
