Sorry. You need Top Secret security clearance :)

Davehrab..."INCOMMING" suggests that I am prepared for a violent reaction to my comment.The fact that Ivan did not nuke you over the last few decades is due in no small part to the fact that the Fleet Balistic Missile program was an awesome detere... 
Remarkable Multichannel Test Signal
Atagi...I got mine from elusivedisc.com or acousticsounds.com. I don't remember which one. 
One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers?
Sean...I guess that QTS is the parameter I had in mind, although as the writup suggests, it does not reliably describe vented/sealed suitability . The JBL 1500 QTS is 0.32, not far from the 0.4 suggested as the boundry between vented and sealed. I... 
One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers?
Thanks Sean....I have copied the info so I can read it at leisure. This appears to be the best definition of TS parameters that I have ever seen. What I am looking for is some kind of single dimensionless number (like Bernoulli's number that relat... 
Optical Toslink splitter
Isellstuff...What you describe would be an active (powered) device, and would cost more than "several" dollars. I think that Partsexpress.com has such a device. They also have a manually actuated optical switch. It would be used if your amp had to... 
Optical Toslink splitter
Unclejeff....In the analog world, signal to noise ratio has a direct effect on sound quality. The signal is the sound. Even a slight degradation will have some effect.Digital is different. Signal degradation has no effect until it reaches a point ... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
The formal disclaimer can be seen as a promotional tool! I am thinking of the current TV ad for an E.D. medication. Medical side effects are solemnly listed, and include "erections lasting more than four hours..." Makes you want to run out and buy...

Buscis2...I gather that you still have DBX encoded records. All my objections to the vinyl medium (well almost all) are put aside when we talk about these discs. I no longer have them, but when I did I thought that they were as quiet and as dynami... 
Need Help Subsonic Filters, where can I get one?
Buscis2...As you will note (by reading my comment) I think that the best thing is to avoid the problem. I don't eat much vinyl. But when I do, my rumble filter avoids distress. 
Need Help Subsonic Filters, where can I get one?
Buscis2...I agree that a rumble filter and/or a LF equalizer like the Richter scale, is a "bandaid". So is the use of expensive vinyl playback equipment. So, for that matter, is the RIAA equalization curve. Bandaids are often practical. However, t... 
Anyone using digital amps w/ Maggies?
Is the pope Catholic?Before you spend loads of money, try a CarverPro ZR1600. Good results with MG1.6. 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Stehno...Sean is, appropriately, "angree". Anyone else would be "angry". [Hi Sean:)]It's what he says, not who he is, that matters. Does not being a salesman make you correct? And vice versa.

A good deal of LP rumble is not "subsonic". Although a subsonic filter will prevent your amplifier power being wasted, it may not solve the audible problem you are having.You might consider the Audio Control Richter scale (several hundred dollars)...
