One sub or two or none?
@Buconero, whats the placement of your two subs? I recently incorporated one sub in my system after going to rmaf and realizing that full range audiophile grade speakers are actually full range. If I could afford $15,000 Silverline Boleros that pl... 
Breaking in speaker cables??
So, how long would it take to burn in a set of cables with that tesla? 1 lightning bolt? Or would I need more?

@ZD, lol@Rok2id, rotflmaonow, where to find that lightning rod... 
Breaking in speaker cables??
No, didnt mean connecting positive and negative. Just didnt understand that it had to be hooked up. Still curious though about volume level. I'm guessing the louder it is, the more current, the faster it burns in? 
Breaking in speaker cables??
Thanks guys, I figured you needed to connect them, just wasn't sure why, but now I know! Does the volume level make a difference? 
Input Needed - Renovating Basement for A/V System
What about recarpeting the room and just keeping the cat out of the room? Loud music and movies isn't good for kitty ears anyways. Another option would be to buy 100 more (preferably fat and extra fluffy) cats and use them as "active" acoustic tre... 
Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables
Just spent the better part of the morning e-mailing, and then talking over the phone, to Paul. Customer service second to none. He took an hour out of his day to help me, with nothing in it for him so far. He's sending out a pair of singles, and s... 
Best way to hook up a sub?
Alright, I moved my sub back to the center of my front wall to give it another try, and yes, it does sound better there. I placed my sub on 4" cinder blocks to try to decouple it from the floor, turned the crossover down to 40hz and turned the gai... 
How to choose the kind of cables for your system?
Elizabeth, you have a nice set-up, and I respect your oppinion so I'm going to take a second look at the pangea cords. They have gotten some not so great reviews though, as some have found them to be too bright sounding after they are broken in, b... 
Superzero fans....sub suggestions.....
I just purchased an svs sb-12 plus and am really enjoying it. It will play really low and sounds pretty clean to me. Way better than the emotiva ultra 10 that I had. There is an svs sb-12 plus for sale here on audiogon for $500. You can't find the... 
Best way to hook up a sub?
Corner placement just blows the center placement away in my particular application. Way more output, way lower bass and not muddy. I think Im going to look into buying another sub for the left side, that way the bass is coming from both areas. 
What turntable, $500 or less
Is the 1.3 s better turntable though? The carbon at $399 + $130 for the different platter brings the total to $530, which is $30 more than the 1.3. I like the looks of the carbon more and I like the idea of being able to upgrade as funds become av... 
What turntable, $500 or less
Photodusty, well maybe I will go with the 1.3, and just upgrade to the denon catridge when I can. I don't want to skimp and save $200 if I can gain quite a bit better sound if I go with the 1.3 and denon catridge vs. the carbon and ortofon catridg... 
Best way to hook up a sub?
I did adjust the phase knob when I had it between the speakers but it didn't make much difference. I too was thinking that the corner placement might produce a muddy sound, but it really wasn't, from what I could tell. It's easy enough for me to c... 
How Black is Your Background?
Gbmcleod, thanks, that actually makes sense! You taught me something new! Thanks :-)
