| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject 1,4,2,3. The CD you want is probably available used on Amazon. Price vs quality. #3 is hideously expensive. Amazon's streaming is free with Prime and only very slightly inferior to the CD. Best price/quality ration I know of. ENJOY the Music! | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? If you have a strong enough signal to drive a power amp, why add more electronics? You need some way to switch sources and a volume control. Active electronics are not necessary, and, as you have discovered, can only make things worse! Good for yo... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question Go DIY, my friend! The satisfaction you experience will be tremendous! Every time you time your system on, you will smile. Most of the cost of "built" speakers is labor, cosmetics, and R&D. It's the drivers, the cabinet, and the crossovers th... | |
| BIG difference Tidal vs Amazon Music My experience with Amazon is that their fanciest version is only slighly less than actual CD. You have to listen hard to hear it. Not enough to spoil your enjoyment of the music. Since it's free with "Prime," I consider it a great service! | |

| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers Hello Ryan! The sub will absorb energy since its cone is moved by the sound in the room (especially bass) and since its cone moves, it generates sound itself even though its just sitting there not connected to anything. That's the problem with li... | |
| It's time to do it! Please, your help.... Hello Howie G in NYC! If you haven't bought the Bluesound Vault yet, there are certainly cheaper ways to go. I have been using PCs (desktops & laptops) for years for recording and playing sound recordings. I have used many DACs and never had ... | |
| What went bang, smelled of "I'm fried", yet left it in working order...??? There may be very little left of what ever blew up. Open the cover and look for two short wires sticking up from the circuit board or wherever the parts are concentrated. Electroltics and varistors are relatively cheap. Also look for where the pow... | |
| Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility Hello Mitch 41. I put casters on my 15" subwoofer cabinets and Shahanian puts casters on their Obelisk models ($7000/pr ish). Just be sure the casters don't rattle when shaken vigorously. If you can find some with softish wheels, you may solve two... | |
| Class A into Class AB Hello tmac1700! Happy New Year! Many people (some of whom claim to be amp designers) do not understand amplifier "classes." It all concerns how much of the input wave comes out of the output device (tube or tranistor). If the output is a true re... | |
| Recommendations Wanted Hello thermionicemission. Happpy Holidays! Please understand that we are all at the mercy of the recording engineer who provided us with whatever recordings we play. The fact that your system sounds great with some music, but not with others is ... | |

| When to Amp it Up? Hello, and Happy Holidays ja_kub_sz! Your amps should be just fine! Don't buy more just for the sake of "new stuff." Some would think your speakers could be upgraded. Have you tried swtiching cables? You can try some out from Used Cables.com an... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? Hello Roxy 1927. There are adapters that work perfectly well. I have a mix of pro audio gear and consumer audio equpt. and often need adapters for a particular job. The amp's apparant sensitiviy will be affected since it only gets a half strengt... | |
