| Hard of Hearing Headphones for TV I highly reccomend the Sennheiser 140 wireless phones. They have a compression circuit that will enhance the TV dialog. My mother is 87, wears glasses and finds this Sennheiser model comfortable to wear and TV dialog much easier to understand. Try... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Cables I had a big improvement in upgrading the wall A/C duplex that goes to the PS Audio PPP with the Oyaide R-1 plug plus the Oyaide carbon fiber switchplate with aluminum mounting bracket. | |
| Spade to banana connectors, do they exist??? I also have a SVS sub and spade connectors on my cables. I have the Audioquest adaptors and they do not work very well on this sub. I will try the Cardas | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator I bought a nice shelf set at Lowe's Home Improvement. The shelf is beveled and has a nice walnut finish. There are no visable wall brackets so it looks like a custom installation. Visually quite nice. Yes the King Rex is an upgrade and having the ... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator In my experience the Acoustic Revive has it's best effect at 6.5 to 7.5 feet above the ground and centered on the wall behind the speakers. A second unit can be used behind the listener if it is also mid speaker positioned and at the same height a... | |

First 98% of the uv light will be blocked-the most critical portion of light that causes fading. Second it will block 50-85% of the infr... | |
| King Cobra to Colombia or Colorado Upgrade? I have taken the path you ask. Both the Colorado or the Cheetas will give you a neutral, relaxed sound with better definition and more accurate soundstage. I use both with the DBS upgraded. I think a nice upgrade especially if your source is digit... | |
| Mye Speaker Stand type of fill material I am using and am happy with the Star Sound Micro Bearings from Star Sound. Via phone he was able to calculate the amount I needed. It was less than I was going to order. He also uses flat rate shipping when possible so my shipping costs was $13.0... | |

| Merlin owners who have modified x-over? Dgarretson,Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful response. You are so correct in the pricing of the Duelunds. At their cost it is helpful to the community to have detailed user reports about which crossover networks do or do not benefit. Unli... | |
| Merlin owners who have modified x-over? Dgarretson, Congratulations on your outstanding work on your crossover networks. Your use of both Duelund and Clarity caps combined with a Duelund resistor are sure to provide sonic bliss. Have you been been inclined to vary inductors? There have ... | |
| Merlin owners who have modified x-over? Have any private owners of Merlins modified their crossovers to premium components like the Duelunds? What changes in sounds are you hearing? This thread reads like a Billy Mays Infomercial. The original question was for owners of Merlins to disc... | |
