| Feeling Tweaky OP - I am not introducing anything new here. But from one recently new to the hobbiest to another, some of the suggestions from here that I followed:I tried elevating speaker cables - more noticeable for me on thicker heavier and longer cables. ... | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @imhififan - Thanks again!Spade to Banana Adapters came in from Transparent.The spades fit the adapters and I was able to push the rack back to the wall (makes a big difference in this small room!).No more worries about the really heavy cables be... | |
| Repair help please @rodman99999 - I'll take a look when I open it up. Would replacing a filter capacitor be expensive? Complicated? | |
| Repair help please Appreciate the long shot. There are a few local places I can look into.I like the experiment idea though! Never opened up any components.Would be good to have the opportunity to examine the parts, see what/how things need to be cleaned, etc. Wat... | |

| Swarming! @tomic601 +1 - Duke provides great products and help grounded in science and listening- a refreshing behavior | |

Tried several subwoofers of different sizes, configurations, etc.I couldn’t get any of them to just add bass without things sounding muddy. I pulled everything... | |

| Unusual(?) spade connection @elliottbnewcombjr - Nice one! Hadn't thought of that. I like the idea of preserving the cable. Guess I'll have to cover up the spades once done to prevent accidental shorting.Looks to be the best solution. | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @imhififan - The adapter looks like a great solution! Appreciate the tip! I will have to call these companies asking if they can somehow tell me the diameter of the adapter where the spade goes.Hopefully the adapter is slimmer than the posts on m... | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection Thanks for all the replies!Looks like I just filled my schedule for the week!Excited to experiment with the cables and speaker placement. Thank God these speakers are on wheels!And yes, what a difference the simple/cheap things can do!I was so an... | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @lowrider57 - You mentioned: You may find doubling the biwire cable to one speaker binding post will provide the best sound.Interesting. I guess I should plan on spades vs banana plugs.Thanks for pointing this out! I will try doubling as you s... | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @tvad - Thanks for the info! I feel better about doing this now.@millercarbon - Ok. That does make sense! Once again, thanks for your input! I'll try with the MIT2s for a while, experiment with cable elevators, speaker placement etc. |
