Good reading for the techie in all of us
. . . a lot of good stuff there. Thanks for posting. 
Bi-amp befuddlement
I had always been told that to get any real benefit from bi-amping you need to disable the speakers internal crossover and use an active external crossover. Yet the posts here suggest otherwise. Can anyone enlighten me on this point? Benefits can ... 
Which songs/albums take you back to college?

Documentation for Well Tempered Turntable?
have you checked the library on vinyl engine? 
Billy Cobham's Spectrum
I bought my copy in ~75-6 and it's fantastic. "Total Eclipse" is also excellent on vinyl. 
Center Channel Frequency Response
I'm not an authority, but I don't accept the premise - or at least not fully. A speaker optimized to produce music must produce vocals too. Indeed, few (none) of us would be happy with a speaker that won't produce vocal music accurately. And, it d... 
Monoblocks vs Bi-amping
I've experimented with biamping quite a bit, and have had limited success. My first advice to you is if you're buying two amps anyway try different configs for yourself and see what you like best. That said, here's my own findings: - I've tried ho... 
Biwiring Mani-2's...
Also with bi-wiring you do bypass the crossover . . . I'm not an authority, but I'm pretty sure this is untrue in most cases. In bi-wireable speakers the woofer has a low-pass filter, and the Mid/Tweeter has a hi-pass filter that also divides freq... 
Well Tempered square motor spins both directions
I have no knowledge of the well tempered, but have had to recap my Pink Triangle PSU board to address a motor control issues. If the cap's you have installed inline are electrolytic and more than 20 years old, I would just replace them. If it does... 
Need Selling advice
If you're uncertain, I would list them all together and encourage offers for parts. I frankly think you will get more $ if sold separately. The question you need to decide is if $ is more important than ease. If ease is most important, do as Thorm... 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Prince stealing the show at a George Harrison tributegreat video . . . one of my favorite songs. I've always been impressed by Prince's playing, and it's interesting to see him playing a standard Tele rather than one of his custom guitars. thanks. 
Suggestions for a preamp with HT Passthrough
I have a TAD 150 Signature that has HT Passthru and would heartily recommend. Search the archives for other reviews. Only available used and there's one listed on Agon for $789. There also another listed at $800, but it appears to be a non-signatu... 
Phono PreAmp with less than a 12" x 15" footprint
I think there are many that fit that spec - the Musical Fidelity and Lehmann units both do. 
how do you get the hum out of hca 2205a parasound
Parasound amps are notorious for ground loops. Get a plug adapter that doesn't have a ground pug and try it. If that solves the problem, get a power cord made up with the ground pin not connected (or get one that has a removable ground pin like a ...
