Jumper Question
Thanks to all for all of your insights, I appreciate them. First thing is that I will replace the fuses. They look fine but an inexpensive start to a problem. After that I,ll have someone look them over and go from there. My decision then is wheth... 
Jumper Question
Dave, yes that,s the way I have my jumpers. I,m thinking maybe the crossovers or something else were fried or damaged somewhere along the way. I think they sat for quite awhile. What so do you think? If, needed you think a few hundred would be wor... 
Jumper Question
Hi. I hooked the jumpers ++ and -- and connected the speaker cables to low terminals and then to the hi terminals. In both cases the front and rear tweeters in both speakers did not fire. I,m using anti cables, and I used the anti cable jumpers wi... 
Jumper Question
Thanks Dave for the response. I just got my jumpers in the mail today so I,ll be setting the speakers up tomorrow. A great way to spend a quiet Sunday. Again thanks, Dave 
Snell Type D Positioning Question
Hi, Thanks for the website. When I punched in the room width the solution was similar to the current position of my current setup. I,ll start there and move them in toward the rear wall and toward the sides. Don,t work I,ll go the other way. It,s ...

Words From the Wise
1) Similar to Thermonicavenger thoughts, if your music doesn't sound quite right and you're a graying boomer, get your hearing checked. You may find out that your hi freqs are not what they were when you were 20 years old. 2) Ask your wife to sit ... 
Pre-Amp Match
Thanks guys! Greatly appreciate the feedback. In reading thru the forums am wondering where the Joule LA 100, and Blue Circle falls in as compared to Mod Wright and the Audio Illusion. Again thanks. Dave 
Arcam or Rega CDP
Thanks guys! I appreciate your comments abd thoughts. I'm leaning at this point toward the Rega Apollo. What I walked away with about the Arcam is its lean sound. Don't know if it would complement the system. I've also heard that the Arcam are sen... 
who needs a cd player anymore
I own the I70 transport and enjoy its convenience, but I also just bought a new cdp to replace my current cdp that went on the fritz. Then I turned around decided to repair the broken cdp also even though money wise it's not a smart move. Point is... 
Burr-Brown PCM63 vs 1732
Onix is a cloned Music Hall CDP and has recieved many accolades on agon over the years. If you decide to keep the Onix you may want to upgrade the op-amps to 627's. Will need to mount them to brown dog adaptors. They're a fairly inexpensive upgrad... 
Onix X-88 CDP Transport Problem
Ned, thanks for your response. And sorry I didn't get back sooner, was out of town. The repair is going to be $150 so, you're right, not really worth it. I'll just keep an eye out on agon to see what pops up. Take good care, Dave 
CDP Recommendations under $700
You may want to look at the Onix CDPs thru AV123 Audio. They are made by the same company that produces Music Hall. I upgraded the op-amps and the machine sounds pretty good. I've had it for 3 years. Used Onix-88s go for $250-$400 on Agon. There's... 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
I also have been thinking about the Wadia itransport. I like the idea of convenience, and also the ability to listen to other folks ipod collections while they drop in to visit. My question is the age/quality of a dac. A few years ago I bought a c... 
Analogue Devices AD825 OP AMP
Bob, thanks. I'll check in there. Dave
