Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl
Different signal from each. Vinyl putting out more bass than digital. The question is how does it sound? Is it distorted? If so, then you may have a problem.  
An interesting demonstration

Tweaks That plug in to speakers and ? Why they work
Of course quality makes a difference. But it costs more. Poor people often fool themselves into believing that the cheaper stuff is just as good. But after one experiences the difference that quality makes, it’s hard to believe that again.As to tw... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
While Jeff modestly suggests that he is one of only "a few" cable designers to base his designs upon the physics model of electricity as electromagnetic wave energy instead of the movement, or "flow," of electrons, I can tell you that he is the on... 
Best Speaker Choice for my very "non-audio-friendly" Living Room
Tekton speakers may be the route to take. They have  a lot of good reviews. Not a fanboy but they have a lot of good reviews. Gotta count for something IMO 
Observation: Passion vs Obsession
it serves an end. This is why I do not call it a hobby. Hobbies often begin & end. I have been an avid music lover since I was a child. It has never changed. I have seen many names pass through here and the Asylum over the 20 yrs I have been o...

Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one
Try restarting your computer. That often fixes a problem with a PC. Clearing cache is another fix but not sure it applies to Mac 
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
@ allenf1963 I appreciate the recommendation. However I must disagree that it was the beginning of Heavy metal. Zep & Sabbath are generally known as the beginning  (1969). But IMO, Iron Butterfly  was HM and were playing before Zep & Sabba... 
Can someone suggest a lush tube integrated under $3000 used
+1@knotscottBob Latino VTA amps are very impressive. The ST 120 can use a lot of popular tubes. Not sure if the El 34 is one of them because they don't make the kind of power you need to run your speakers. 
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
The idea that tubes and RNR don't mix is silly at best. Most people were still using tube amps in 1969.many good guitarists still do. My 250 CJ wpc was bested by a 35wpc tube amp. Only wish I had known that my first 55-58 yrs on earth. The tube am... 
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
@csmgolf  That would have been Judas Priest, not Iron Maiden. Oops! You are right. I had the vinyl given to me and I had not listened to it til about 6 mos ago. I was shocked at how good it sounds.  
Supply chain affecting anyone?
@mtbiker29One dealer does not make a supply chain. To believe that all the shortages of labor and parts has no effect on the supply chain is wrong Ridiculously wrong. Go ahead and believe fake news if you like. Just because they won't show it does... 
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
All music benefits from a hi res system. But do you know what heavy metal is supposed to sound like? Iron Maiden "British Steel" is quite impressive. Great sound stage and separation of instruments. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are often very go... 
Supply chain affecting anyone?
High demand? Containers remain on the dock with insufficient help to load them on the few tractor trailers? Lack of truck drivers to move the stuff to the stores for their shelves. Cargo ships wait out at sea because they can’t get off loaded. Eve...
