Vinyl "bleed through"- need set-up advice
Its been a common problem,even in the 60's and 70's.I've had Numerous different TT's,arms,cartridges and even linear tracking ones reveal it. 
Phase rings on tweeters--better "highs" without?
These folks say do it.I wonder if they will replace the tweeters that sound bad after you remove it.LINK>>[http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/audioproducts/freeaudiotips.php] 
subwoofer question
Hsu gives you a decent sound for the money.M&K subs are the easiest subs that I've been able to pinpoint their location in a room.

Take wire cutters to mine,no thanks 
returning vinyl for warpage?
I would return them if it is within the time limit.It is making it sound worse.

SET Recommendation
A 2A3 is a true triode.The EL84 is a pentode that they will wire up to run similar to a triode.I would lean toward a true triode to get the full benefit of one.That is with everything else being equal.In other words a better made EL84 can sound be... 
Difference between 720p and 1080p projectors?
I may be wrong,but I think a 1080p has around 2,076,300 pixels to make a picture,720p has around 921,600 pixels.That is 2X the pixel count.I don't know how much of a percentage increase in a sharper picture that would be.200%? But the larger the s...

I read an article in a audio or A/V magazine a few month back that said something about the mid-fi companies raising their prices more toward the hi-end gear prices.I was half asleep,but I don't remember them saying anything about them changing th... 
Bi Wire question
After midnight post?I agreed with AL on his post,but I started thinking of some of the advantages for Bi-amping.I drifted to another subject!Sorry. 
Turntable Distortion
I don't know anybody with that combination.I wasn't a fan of the B&O cartridges because of strange to me sonics.See if you could swap out TT's somehow.Its been a long time since I heard a B&O. I do remember them having a distorted sound,bu... 
Bi Wire question
I don't think you will have any sonic gain either.Sometimes people will run a low powered tube amp to drive the mids and highs,and a separate tube or solid state for the lows.That takes a lot of load off of the amp driving the upper or lower frequ... 
Were My Speakers Damaged ?
Also,a lot of drivers that get a damaged midrange or woofer but still put out sound will have a megaphone type of sound from that driver. Compare the sound from your midrange to another similar speaker(if possible) to get somewhat of an idea.I'm g...

Were My Speakers Damaged ?
I guess another thing is what they sounded like before.If they were in storage for a while,it may be hard to remember exactly how they sounded.I don't want to say they are froze in place without knowing for sure.Any friends familiar with them may ...
