| Modifying Crossovers @johnk I respectfully disagree with you. I'll fight to the death for your right to your opinion. Do you have an example of someone you personally know, even better yet, that you heard before and after, of that sounded worse. I have a friend wit... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @vair68robert The before crossovers are still installed. I pulled them out enough to sketch a wiring diagram and reverse engineer them. Here are a couple of photos (i use google photos, would appreciate any advice on how to get a preview to show... | |

To explain my comment, the pangea has everything I look for in a power cable, but it can usually be found for less. You want to expain what features you look for in a power cord that are so ... | |

| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? I think you'll have trouble improving on the Pangea AC 9 SE. | |
| Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues I don’t remember the last time I had something fixed under warranty, if ever. I have had infant mortality in a TV set, which I returned. Why do things fail so often for others? But, given that they do, I prefer an amp I can repair myself. So I on... | |
