| Can an audio rack be that important? As a long time stereo builder (1975) and PC builder (1995) I would highly recommend against ever putting equipment on the floor. That's where all the dust, dirt, bugs, and water will congregate. Also limited air flow. I was taught 16" minimum , th... | |
| Sharing SACDs I would never condone any "illegal" activities, but if one wanted to rip a "back up" copy of a SACD what would be a good piece of software? | |
| Center Channel Dialogue Same problem with old Infinity Video one, wife had trouble with dialog. Just upgrade to a Kilpsh KCF C-5. Wife loves it. I am not a big fan of horns but in this case the horn tweeter works great for vocals. And the C-5 must be pretty damn efficien... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Music Hall Black Mojo. | |
| Dual speaker system @w123ale One of the reasons I picked Parasound amps was because you can loop them together. They have a set of RCA out on the back. | |
| Dual speaker system Yes I do. I have a pair of bi amped Kappa 8s (Parasound SS) and a pair of Kappa 7s (Behringer A800 class D) next to them. I daisy chain the amps together. So I can listen to all the speakers together or choose which pair I want listen to. Another... | |

| connecting subwoofer to parasound via loop output on A21+ / A23+ ? If you have two inputs on your sub use them both. If not I don't think it matters if you use the left or right out on your A 21+/A23+. I don't think the sub is in stereo.I run my sub thru my parasound pre amp. | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? I've been using a De Stat Gun and Discwasher for over 45 years. I borrowed a friends UC and cleaned my 1600 pieces of vinyl. About 500 are from other peoples collections and most were filthy even after the Discwasher. The UC cleaned most of those ... | |

| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? Depending on how many records you plan to clean, not sure about second tank for rinsing. I change my cleaning solution after about 100 records. Thats when my pmm reaches 50. I use a ppm meter to check how dirty my water is getting. I use 4 gal. di... | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? My friend made his also. He said he spent under $300 usd. There are U Tube vids on how to make one. | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? I returned my spin clean when I had same results. It really shines the record but not much deep cleaning. Did nothing for static. I finally borrowed a friend's US and that made a big difference. | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... I would say best bang for buck is get a nice set of headphones and a matching headphone amp. Or save until you can afford a nice set of speakers. Go listen to as many speakers as you can and pick your favorite. Take your wife with you and treat h... |
