| Mcintosh MQ112 Live near enough to me in Plainfield, NJ, 07062? I got hearing aids and a dual 31 band equalizer at the same time, thinking the eq might do a better job if I plugged the inverse of my hearing test into it. Turns out the hearing aids have a progra... | |

| Will a record weight harm the motor in a direct drive turntable? I think your Denon motor/bearing, like my JVC TT81 is substantial enough to handle extra weight. I use the Audio Technica AT618a.

| Flatscreen between speakers shooter41 richardbrand I understand how your processors and you SOLVE the lack of a center channel speaker. IF possible, try a small center channel rather than skipping it, that is my advice to anyone following. After so many years of priorit... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers shooter41 correct, if you have no center speaker, you have to send center to FL & FR, thus the AVR needs to make it’s own psuedo-surround with phantom center, I am simply encouraging people to try even a SMALL center, it doesn’t take much... | |
