| Stop Making Sense Revisited Huh? I always thought this was a good music CD, but pretty compressed. This is the first I've seen anyone praising it for sound quality. Of course, that doesn't mean it's not good music, it was just kind of early in the CD and few audiophile recor... | |
| Topping DX3 Pro - Live I just got replacement DC plugs, and i was wrong about the DX3: It functions anywhere from about 12V upwards. Issues I had before had to do with the wrong inner diameter on the plug. Best,E | |

| Infinity RS-4.5's need some help Hi DMC123 - I would really try to sell them as is. You may not get full value, but they'll go to some one who can do good things with them. | |

| KEF 103.2 Help Maybe try DIYaudio.com in the multi-way forum, they'll be better able to help you. Plus, you can post pics which makes it easier to discuss. Looking at pictures of the crossover, it looks like there may be a relay in there, which go bad over time.... | |
| How I would measure cables Speaker cables and interconnects are harder, but I have a suggestion: rather than try to measure the cable itself, measure its effects on your system. I think both can be measured the same way, and speaker terminals are the least room dependen... | |

| Long-Term Amp Storage Without Use: Bad Idea??? But they are kind of rare and all tricked out! Well, that's just what you want to keep in storage. :) Seriously though, simplify and minimize and it will help you focus on your goals. Be well,E | |
| Long-Term Amp Storage Without Use: Bad Idea??? Electrolytics tend to dry out no matter what. I am in the Marie Kondo world view of gear. Use it or sell it, don't store it. | |
