| wyred4sound dac hookup to receiver I am not knowledgeable about your particular receiver. If it has a direct mode, then you should be able to use Plato's method. Most AVRs do have the direct mode in the set up option. | |
| Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low? I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but you don't necessarily need an outboard phono preamp. You could use a step up between the turntable and McIntosh preamp. This could be an active head unit or step up transformers. The cheapest path would... | |

| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? Most people when they see my setup, say "I bet those speakers play really loud!" That what most people equate to a good music set up.

For clarity, Bands mentioned above that are not one hit:Mott the Hoople, Argent, Thin Lizzy, Black Oak Arkansas, T-Rex. Technically, Billy Thorpe had another hit, "In My... | |
| Transmission Line Bass I have Fried Studio 7's. I love the transmission line bass. It just sounds more authentic, not bloated or artificial in any way. Some here cite size as limiter and my Fried's are pretty substantial, but you can get good TL bass with smaller enclos... | |
| Need advise for 7.1 system speakers Audio Advisor is having a sale on NHT for 3 days. I thought NHT was out of business, but this may be old stock or maybe they geared up for temporary production. Be careful, they are priced per speaker, but appear to be a decent price. NHT made som... | |
| Article explaining how CD players work My electrical engineering professor told us this about CD data retrieval. Music CD's came first. There were errors in reading the data, but they were small enough that our ears did not detect the difference. :-) For the data CD's to become useful,... | |

| how to set up the Dual CS5000 turntable? I'm not sure what you're really asking here. I bought the CS5000 new, back in '80 or '81. I still have it as a second table. I still have the manual and all the setup stuff. I bought a cartridge alignment tool from turntable basics and set it up. ... | |
