Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten
@pstores Funny, that was the exact thing that happened with me.- Just a cable that somehow managed to not make contact.Haha!When I look back, I remember that checking the speaker connections was his first recommendation.I poopoo'ed it, how could a... 
Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten
@pstores Thanks for posting this.I should have done so myself.Whenever I had a problem with my MA-1's or MP-3, Ralph or Adam helped me to find the problem. Sometimes it took a few calls, but Ralph was always patient and offered great advice. Each ... 
DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood?
Old growth wood is much more solid than what is sold on the market, and, if they are indeed using wood that is 300 years old, I believe it would be quite inert soundwise.B

You could also try a Hum Buster to see if it is you home wiring.B 
Can a linear power supply be used for multiple devices?
I got an HDPlex unit that offers 4 different outlets with adjustable output.There are other manufacturers that offer 2 or 3 outputs, as well.B 
Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For!
I got the Mini last year, but things got crazy and I didn't have time to get things set up. When I did, Sam was busy.By that time he was ready, I was getting busy again.So, I am still waiting for him to get things organized. He did install some up...

Thanks for posting. A quick Google show he is in CT.I never heard of him, but I'd like to try to hear a pair of his speakers.Bob 
Best way to spike a large tower ( 100 lbs +)
That speaker jack from Wilson is just an overpriced version of this: https://www.calcarcover.com/product/low-profile-billet-aluminum-jack/705 Still better is to have another person hold the speaker while you insert and level the spike. As the ol... 
Vandersteen vlr or excite x14i have bith
I own the VLR's as well as Treo's, so I am biased towards Vandy's.But, seeing how you liked ProAc's, I would say you will probably like Vandersteen.Remember the VLR's were designed to be bookshelf speakers. So, having near the wall/corners will be...

I wan't the best in this price range
Zu Soul's shouldn't be harsh. I owned the Union and the Omen Bookshelf and neither had any trace of harshness. They had 'slam', too.If you really want punch, then go for Undertones or any good subwoofer.I think Atmasphere and others are correct. Y...

Why the fascination with subwoofers?
@yogiboy ,Vandies don't 'need' subs, but having them really fleshes things out, subtle but noticeable. Quatro's have built in subs with equalizer.B 
Why the fascination with subwoofers?
@brskie,I own the non-CT Treos, and have 2 2wq subs. I am very happy with the combo. So much so, I will probably get the new Sub 3's when I sell the 2w's.If it were me, first I would ask Johnny.Barring that, I would think getting 2 Sub 3's with th...
