| Need help with firguring out a source for a Classe CT-SSP How do you have your "tv" sources defined in the tv? What is their audio output setting? It might be you simply need to change the audio source send at the TV for apps. Does sound play through the TV for those? | |

| confused and don't know what to do Budget and space for gear are everything. Do you have room for separates? If not, you will need an integrated. There are plenty of options there. Often, in the situation you are in, some compromises have to be made. Have you considered simply runn... | |
| Upgrade advice from Parasound P5/A23 combo to an integrated amp solution? If you like the Parasound sound, the Hint 6 is their newest integrated, or the older Halo is a good option too. I’m in a similar situation and have the Halo. Great integrated for the $$$. | |

| Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound? The only thing I see of real issue, is how tightly your cabling seems to be coming off the tube amp. Looks like it’s got significant tension there. Maybe you could tidy it up, but hey, if it sounds like you want it to, then awesome! And I agree, c... | |
| Mogami 50 ft XLR cable for subwoofer I think you would be better off with a Mogami XLR monitor (speaker) cable. Could be wrong. Best bet for that is probably Sweetwater, Musicians Friend or the like. My band uses them for all of our PA stuff, subs etc. All are powered. So not unlike ... | |
