Best Subwoofer Connection
Nice system! Don't forget to get your sub positioned first in the room before you tweak the crossover etc.I would still run the preamp output through the sub as a first option. Then it's a matter of setting the crossover freq and sub volume. Then ... 
Best Subwoofer Connection
Lucky dog. Great sub choice. You paid a premium for those excellent crossovers on those E110s so I would try running the preamp outputs through them first. This relieves the power amp and loudspeakers from heavy low frequency lifting. It will take...

Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley 
Periodic noise
@almarg @o_holter The OP didn't say how long the interfering device had been in place or how long the interference (noise) had been perceptible. So my question is: Could this noise be "a canary in a coal mine?" In other words, if the devices had b... 
Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini?
Classe was bought by Rotel/B&W a few years back. The 2 brands are very different. Ownership is about the only thing they have in common.Yeah but sometimes I like to think that there's royal DNA in my bloodstream even though I come from a long ... 
Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini?
I have a MacMini running Roon with a 2TB external drive containing my library of about 25K songs. About 3K of those are iTunes downloads and the remainder are songs ripped from CDs into 16 bit / 44.1 kHz AIFF (lossless, compressionless) format. Al... 
Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini?
First, try the HDMI from the MacMini to the SSP. I was pleasantly surprised at how my late-model big box Pioneer Home Theater processor sounded when decoding everything from MP3s to high resolution music files when connected by HDMI. The optical o...

Apple Abandons Development of Wireless Routers
Disappointed to read that. My Apple Airport gear has been doing yeoman's service for years. When other wifi routers couldn't or wouldn't work in my house, the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule lit up right away. The Airport Utility app and program ...

Periodic noise
Every eight minutes? And lasts for ten or fifteen seconds?If you live in an urban setting or an apartment, discovering the source of this may be more difficult. Look at any other wireless devices used around the house. In particular, those that ma... 
Audio withdrawal
Time for some headphone listening. It’s where I started (re-started) my audio journey for no other reason than budget constraints. Headphones, IEMs, Amp/DACS, and playback sources are enjoying real growth so there’s plenty of good values to be had... 
Listen...chair
@lpretiring My zero gravity "Perfect Chair" is very comfy.  It's suited better for remote control operation because once I am fully relaxed and settled in, it becomes annoying to get up and out of the chair. Unless your turntable is beside the cha...
