Help Klipsch Sub connnection to Sunfire Pre-Amp
Are you going to use it to support your stereo speakers, or are you using it for sound effects while watching movies?If your using it for music I'd use the line in and depending on your speakers I'd set the crossover in your pre-amp at around 100H... 
blue collar workers

More Questions about Dedicated Circuits
Wow, no one dissed me, I'm the man!Just for the record I'll say it one more time. Always run a dedicated neutral with every hot. And try to run an isolated ground too with IG recptacles. That's what I use in my house, I personally run a 20 amp cir... 
Have A Great Summer Everyone

Have A Great Summer Everyone
Hi5harry, it was a little warm today wasn't it? About 86 at my home in the foothills. I was contemplating going for a walk on the beach in Santa Cruz (about ten minutes from my house) but i had to grout a tiled floor instead. Oh, well there's alwa... 
More Questions about Dedicated Circuits
Hi,Having been an Electrician my whole life and an audiophile at least half of that I would have to agree with your Electrician. Putting everything on one leg throws off the balancing of your panel and taxes the nuetral conductor big time.It alway... 
Have A Great Summer Everyone
Hi Ed,We eagerly await your arrival out here in CA. I left the East coast fifteen years ago and never looked back. Let me assure you that the minute you cross the state line your going to feel ten years younger. I still get a chuckle almost everyd...

Try a phone call to Cardas, They are not the worse by a long shot. 
Opinions please on older Sony ES Pre-amps
I use to run a TAE9000es into a five channel adcom amp. The sound wasn't to bad maybe a little colored, unfortunatly I don't think it will sound better than your adcom piece.Why don't you try an Audio Research LS-15? This piece has a remote and I ... 
SF Line 3-- Parasound JC-1-- Thiel 7.2 Cables ?
Sorry... i'm not up to speed on parasound, I just assumed, Ah...Anyway, I took a look at your amp, Your right that's beefy! 400-watts into 8-ohms should drive those speakers just fine. As far as cabling goes I've used MIT reference, Cardas golden ... 
SF Line 3-- Parasound JC-1-- Thiel 7.2 Cables ?
I've owned a lot of thiels, they like MIT cabling. With those mamba's I'd probably look to the oracle line making sure you match the impedence. I think I'd change the amp too, those puppies deserve better and more wattage, you might consider a big...

Thanks Dan, I've been running them on the spikes for a while now. I just got the stands installed (it's a no brainer) and had to try some David Gray (White Ladder) and Chris Isaak (Baja Sessions) Yep, They work great on a raised floor! It's a very...
