| How to STOP PayPal from consistent breaking and breaching privacy. @czarivey .Please, don't shout at the messenger.

| Streaming Tidal has one of the worst cataloging systems of all the streaming companies.You literally have to:1. Type the composer in the search box2. Add the type of music (symphony/concerto/etc.) after the name.You then get hits for albums most of the time... | |
| Car audio of the future .... The Bose system on my MKII TTS was very good, the Bang and Olufsen system in my MKIII TTS is terrible- a total waste of material and money.As pointed out in the article, when you get in an accident, it is going to involve a lot more work besides t... | |

| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? @cbucki ,That is the beauty of the Vandersteen subs.

These are connected to the speaker outputs of your amp and allow the subs to work seamlessly with your speakers and relieve the amp... | |

| DeVore Gibbon X v. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT w/Ayre AX5/20 @beetlemania,I would just use the Vandy x-overs and leave the amp alone, as it will be hard to sell later if you want to upgrade. And if the OP is buying new, they should come with the speakers anyway.B | |
| DeVore Gibbon X v. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT w/Ayre AX5/20 I would contact John Rutan at audioconnection. He sells Vandy and knows just about all the manufacturers. He can give you the best advice, without trying to sell you something.and, yes, your Ayre amp should work w]fine with Vandy's. -A very good m... | |
