Sub Wiring
Ah! More education. Another question: I have a Mac C26 that has a center channel output using a phono plug (like headphones) but the center channel speaker has positive and negative terminals. Do I use a splitter of some sort or are the two not co... 
Sub Wiring
This is why I read Agon. I learn almost every time I read the forum (almost). I have a center speaker, Polk LsiM 706c, that has 4 posts in the back. Could I run wires from the L and R speakers to these posts w/o harm? Thanks.  
Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker
pix4work OK! I was worried I was missing something. Despite the weight, I'll lug the Macs upstairs and see how they sound with proper breathing room. Thanks.  
Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker
I am the original owner of some spectra 1100's that I just stopped using as through the years, I never had enough room to let them breath. They were always too close to the wall. I did love the sound, however and was driving them with a Mac 2100 (...

What new gear have you just bought?
Just purchased 2 items from Agon members, both Audiolab, a 6000CDT and an MDAC+. Last year I scored a pair of floor standing Polk LsIM 707's and a LsIM 706c center channel in great shape for $400.

A suggestion Get the most expensive of the lowest overall cost brand and then match the rest to that price point.

Good cartridge for a Sony PS-LX5 with original headshell
So, the Opus3 is 8gr, the headshell is 5.2gr = 13.2. 2 gr over. The counter weight is in place. If I increase that weight just slightly, would that work or should I just try and find another cartridge in my price range, about $300? If so, what oth... 
Good cartridge for a Sony PS-LX5 with original headshell
Thanks! For the life of me, I cannot find a Sonata. The Sonata 1 is $600. Grado has a new wooden Timbre Opus3 that looks like it gets good reviews from multiple folks and is $275, which is in my budget ($300 tops.) I'm thinking about making the pl...
