Amp Hum both sides, No left side signal
Yo Leonard,It sounds like there may be more than one problem. Best bet is to disconnect and unplug everything and then hook one item at a time back up and turn on the power and listen. So start by hooking the ST-70 amp to the left speaker and turn... 
how to remove video noise on my plasma? DESPERATE
Yo Jay,Try to determine the path that your cable takes (from where it enters the house to the outlet that you connect your TV to) look for the possibility that it travels with AC power lines. Mine enters the house next to the meter and comes up th... 
metric screws for TP 50 head Thorens TD 150
RicardoTry a hobby shop. They will usually carry both metric and english screws in the small sizes...2mm, 2.5mm etc. Also, an audio store who carries turntables (I'm talking older specialty-audio stores not your big-box chain retailers) will usual...

Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub?
If you really want to set the receiver on top of the sub, then do it. I suggest that you try some simple (and cheap) isolation tricks to keep the vibrations from the sub from rattling your receiver.First, try filling 4 zip-lock sandwich bags half ... 
Speaker Damage?
The internal damage caused by dropping the speakers generally distorts the baskets of the woofers and midranges. The heavy magnets on the back of the drivers causes the basket to bend (or break in the case of die cast baskets) and thus ruin the dr... 
biggest difference...speaker cable or IC's?
Hello Knorman,For me the biggest difference (read improvement) resulted from installing better speaker wires. There is something to be said for sticking with one brand and model of wire throughout your system. Mixing brands and models is usually g... 
Are B&W 802D's a good match with Mcintosh MA6900?
Benfmd,I have heard the 802D's driven by a $500 Denon (110 watt) receiver...they sound fantastic. I am pretty sure your Mac will drive them beautifully. But, why not take your Mac down to the B&W dealer and ask him to hook you up. Don't forget... 
Need a Preamp Recommendation
Yo Arambin,My first inclination is to recommend that you dump the Onkyo and the Pioneer and put the Denon DRA-685 receiver in front of the PSB's. While it's not the last word in musical tranparency, it will make your PSB's stand up and talk.If you... 
What power is required to drive Paradigm 100's
The Studio 100's have the same published sensitivity as your Studio 60's. They both have 91 db/watt (in room) and 88 db/watt (anechoic). A Denon 3803 is rated at 110 watts per channel and that is well within the 15-350 watt "suitable amplifier pow... 
Will the amp or speaker get damaged?
Why would you want to? I'm sure there is a good reason to do this, but it escapes me. The amp will run a 3-4 ohm load but not at high voltage (high volume levels) for long periods of time. Impedence matching transformers will kill dynamics, so you...
