| Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz I'll second Dave's Sunfire suggestion. They make different sizes; check out www.sunfire.com. | |
| The Clever Little Sharp Fascinating results from your experiments! Can you tell if the clock puts out any sounds? like, perhaps a high pitched, nearly ultrasonic whine? Have you tried putting a padded box around it? | |

| Sony PSX-60 turntable - dead or alive? The PSX60 does not have an audio mute function, so the signal path from cartridge to phono output sockets is probably a direct connection -- little to go wrong. Accordingly, my best guess is the cartridge is deteriorated. For example, we know that... | |
| WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36 I respectively recommend that you recheck your vertical height measurement. If the 36 inch Wega has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio, the vertical height would be 21.6 inches. This would be commensurate with a 44 inch (not 46 inch) HDTV. This may be a ... | |
| Why outlet makers warn against aluminum wires? Two issues: Aluminum is more likely to oxidize (corrode or rust) when in contact with certain materials like certain other metals.

| Help needed with Proac 1SC setup Great post by Gunbei. I would only add you should be sure to give them plenty of "run-in" (or break-in) time. I have two pairs in different rooms, and they started out sounding somewhat harsh, the way you described. They settled in nicely between ... | |
| How to properly set VTF?? I believe the VTF varies with the height at which the gauge takes the measurement. (Graham addresses this with the new Phantom arm, which is designed to have the same VTF regardless of height.) I would recommend reading the VTF with the needle loc... | |
| 60 cycle hum Are you using a VPI Power Line Conditioner to fine tune your speed? The old PLC would cause hum if placed too close to circuitry. Moving it away a few feet would solve this. | |

"If a certain switch box is then rated at only 100 watts because it basically has thin wire/contacts/circuitboard on the inside, what happens if you then have a 300 watt amp that you are driving very loudly through it?"I assume you mean that the a... | |
| Looking for a song Amazon lists Phil Ochs CDs and identifies two products that have this song:Farewells & Fantasies: The Phil Ochs Collection, available from one of Amazon's third party vendors for about $160. It is a 3 disc boxed set that could likely include s... | |
| Can I hook up two amps to the same speaker? With respect to your question about wire -- yes, you can use high end wire with Elizabeth's switch idea. Most high end speaker wire comes terminated with spade lugs, so just make sure that the switch you buy can accommodate the size of spades on y... | |
| BEST SPEAKERS FOR WALL UNIT Obviously, you don't want a speaker that has a rear port.Two speakers whose manufacturers' web sites show them on shelves are the Thiel SCS3 and the Wilson Duette. I haven't heard either of them, sorry, but both manufacturers have good reputations... | |
| Replace Stylus or both Cart. & Stylus?? There are rubber components in the cartridge assembly that could have dried out over 20 years. I remember they are part of the stylus suspension system, but I don't recall if they are located in the removable stylus piece or if they are located in... | |
