Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy Just read about the KAB rumble filter. I had no idea this problem of pumping woofers was so common. It's almost always a setup problem, not an inherent problem with LP playback. It's best remedied by correcting the setup, rather than by... 
HIGH Quality Electric Service Panel
stickman451 ... you have to junction box the 8 0r 6 down to 10 to fit the receptacle ...You can do that, or you can use a pigtail. Either is acceptable.  
Dipole Asymmetry
bdp24Do you use grand-daddy literally or figuratively, cleeds? Magnepan has probably done more to popularize planar speakers than any other company, but the original Magneplanar Tympani T-I was not introduced until 1971, long after the origin... 
Help With A Turn Table Upgrade
I'd be reluctant to consider any used phono cartridge. 
Dipole Asymmetry
I should have also mentioned what is perhaps one of the grand-daddys of all dipole speakers ... Magnepan. 
What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable.
auxinputwow, I have never seen a normal 2-channel preamp that has more than one "active" XLR output. That Classe CP-800 is pretty unique in this sense!It's not unique at all, it's very common. For example, just about every ARC preamp offers tw...

stringreenIt is SOOO much better to use a better stereo amp than it is to bi -amp.That depends on the speakers. And the amplifiers. And of course, some speakers require biamplification; they can't be used with just a single stereo amp.  
Dipole Asymmetry
sbank Who recommends your preferred "Let the rear wave bounce approach" besides Bose? You’re obviously being facetious, because Bose doesn’t make a dipole. But, to answer your question:Infinity (of yore)Martin-LoganGenesisKing SoundPolk AudioKefQu... 
Vintage Wadia Repair Recommendations in U.S.
Why not send it back to Wadia?

If you're using two amplifier channels per speaker, that's biamplifying, not biwiring. If that's your plan, you should consider using an active crossover. That's the way to get the most out of biamping. 
HIGH Quality Electric Service Panel
elevickMaking sure it is properly grounded is more important than anything else.  Don't ground it near the house ground. Actually, you should follow NEC and local code, which will require grounding the panel with your house ground and the utilit... 
Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews?
kalaliThis must be NOS Adcom amplifier. I thought Adcom was no longer in business.I thought so, too. But it looks as though the company is still in business.  
Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505
@sampsa55, I didn't suggest that there's but one one specific effective mass cartridge that will work with any given pickup arm. A pickup arm will accept cartridges with a range of effective mass, and some pickup arms are more forgiving than other... 
THE WALL---Why?
enlitenAC power outlets can supply 10000A+ for very short periodsNo way ... at least certainly not where I live. And I've measured it. Many people would be shocked to discover that their 200A service can't even deliver 125 amps. In fact, 200A se... 
Dipole Asymmetry
sbank@cleeds the sound reflected off the wall behind the speaker is not a GOAL of dipoles it's the DOWNSIDE aka THE COST of dipoles. Try reading the setup tips page on Sound Lab's site for detailed explanation including the mathOh no, I could...
