Help with Sub Woofer connection
All I'm saying is I've never found a subwoofer crossover to come anywhere close to transparent (when passing the audio signal forward to the main speakers).Happy Holidays! 
Help with Sub Woofer connection
Forget about the theory and listen to the results. The "timing" issues are minuscule to the point of irrelevance. I do agree with the volume synchronization problem, however. This can be overcome with a used preamp (Carver, etc.) with remote contr... 
Help with Sub Woofer connection
I would NEVER use the crossover in a subwoofer as a high-pass filter feeding my main amp. Use the full range signal (coming out of your preamp) to feed both your main amp AND your subwoofer. Use the subwoofer's volume and/or variable frequency poi...

Philips 963 SA compatibility
Make sure the disc is CLEAN! I played a "Dean Martin Show" DVD at my parents house tonight (brand new disk) and this puppy was skipping all OVER the place. Took a look and found lots of crud (cardboard flakes, etc.). Disk played fine after cleanin...

Recommendations on mid-fi speakers
Maybe you should try to determine what speaker design elements suit you rather than focusing on price. I've learned that I highly prefer speakers with first-order crossovers. Others just don't sound "right" to me. Speakers like the Martin-logan CL... 
What is the best tweak?
Kana813: The buffer will make the plug flanges look better but the flat file will make them uniformly flat for more contact. I've filed down many plugs that looked flat but had tiny hills and ridges on them. Good idea about the grounding rod. How ... 
any info on tice micro block line conditioner
I've owned mine for over ten years (so long I can't remember when I bought it...) and recommend it for front-end applications. It's not that harty, however, as it blew its fuse when I connected my: Sony 9000-ES SACD + ARC LS-8 preamp + Audio Artis... 
What is the best tweak?
Clean and treat ALL of your connections.Power cords: Unplug from wall. Use a small fine toothed metal flat-file to file-flat both plug flanges (4 sides). Most plug flanges I've seen are stamped (by some kind of punch-press) and have a fine ridge, ... 
Album which you have listened to most?
Blind Faith: This album simply astounds me. It captures the spiritual essence of the prime of my life. I can't begin to imagine the processes involved in its creation which is how I define art (and magic). These vibes are like a psychic grinding w... 
Julian Hirsch dies
While attending a Stereophile show at the Hilton in Chicago (part of winter CES?), The elavator door opened and I came face-to-face with Mr. Hirsch. I'll always regret not paying respects to this gentleman (just pretended to be unaware of him). At...
