Usher S-520 amp
Using mine with a Sound Quest SQ-84v2 15wpc 6v6 tube amp. Not bright at all. Also use a Jungson JA-88D at 80wpc with no brightness. I use two different speaker cables, one set is all copper and the other is copper clad with silver. The copper is s... 
Vintage Polk 10 b....2nd system, vinyl based...
The monitor 10's I had and monitor 11's I have now are not what I would describe as flabby in the bass. The Monitor 11 is a floor standing version of the Monitor 10 with slightly lower extension because of the larger tower design. For me the deter... 
Rega Apollo CDP in NYC area
I have one, and have started to notice a somewhat degraded sound quality lately. Thought it was my amp at first, then thought it was a speaker issue. Grabbed an old PS Audio Digital Link II out of the closet, hooked it up using SPDIF and gave it a...

Jungson JA88D mute function
My JA88D does the exact same thing. Very faint signal still coming through when muted, and I mean very faint with Maggie 1.6QR at mid 80db efficiency. Your speakers at 100db would be louder but should still be extremely low. 
Replacing speakers in Lat-1's
Not unless you know how to rework a crossover network. A designer spends countless hours modeling and testing those exact drivers and crossover parts in that exact cabinet until the desired results are obtained. The sum of ALL parts including the ...

Cable TV digital music
also,Y,Pb,Pr are the analog video outputs which also have a red & white rca audio output to go with them. The toslink or fiber-optic port is not easy to see until you see the tiny little plastic flap/door the covers the output laser. Does your... 
Cable TV digital music
Jb, Yes, I would go from the Motorola spdif out to the Cary coax in with a moderately priced digital coax cable. If you have one on hand, if not grab one from a big box retailer that you can return.Bruce 
Cable TV digital music
Hi Joeb,If it is a Comcast Motorola HD/DVR then it has spdif (usually an orange colored rca type) digital output as well as toslink (fiber optic) digital output. I looked at your Cary 306/200 online via manufacturers pdf and it appears that you ha... 
recommend speaker for Krell KRC and KSA-200S
After owning several pieces of classic Krell equipment from the KRC and KSA era (pre digital camera days but my early feedback shows the gear sold) I can honestly say that I enjoyed a pair of Thiel CS 3.6's for many, many years. At one point, in a... 
Where's the best spot to put my audio stand
Viiu,that's exactly what I ended up doing with my rack. It was 5 shelves tall in the middle and set back pretty far. Split it into 2 units to lower overall height and found it to sound much better than before. From a WAF it needed to stay on that ... 
REGA APOLLO
I bought mine new from dealer....stone cold out of box was the normal let down, but I've been down this road before. What I did was hook it up to a low power, cool running integrated amp for a 2 week period and put the Apollo on repeat with a Shef... 
Company or Solitude?
Company is fine for me when in the company of musicians or fellow audiophiles......unspoken rules apply......no chatter while music is playing.That being said, solitude is the most commonly experienced session. My wife, love her dearly, can almost...
