Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon?
AA is a good audio forum site. I have learned alot over there. You just have to be a little careful where and when you post. "General", can get a little wild at times. There is some big name people that post on AA. I have wondered why they do not ... 
cable directionality
AudioQuest ICs, "The plug with a single printed band at the sending end and the plug with the double printed band at the receiving end". > goes in the direction of signal flow. CDP > Preamp > Power Amp. This is the correct way to install ... 
Storing my Speakers
I don't know about the drivers but it will not do the wood cabinets any good. IMHO you will ruin them. Especially the hot summer heat. Temps in the attic could be 200+ F degrees. Has to be another place to store the JBL's. How about a bedroom clos... 
Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
Tvad, I agree with your second paragraph. If you want feedback left from a fellow member this will need to be part of the transaction. Each member should discuss the leaving of feedback in their emails to each other. Of course if the transaction g...

Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
I did my first transaction under the new Feedback system. Though slower all went well. One thing nice about the new system, it allows more info to be left. Has anyone seen a negative or neutral feedback left on a member on the new system yet?Jim

Use the "Bypass" outputs they are direct coupled and placed before the tone controls and filters. This is the shortest signal path, best sound.Lab outputs less desirable, Tone controls and filters are in the signal path if activated by the push bu...

Kirk if you are not going to use a damping material between the two sheets of rock I don't think it will make any difference if the rock is of two different thickness. I would probably just use two sheets of 5/8" and apply PL200 adhesive every 12"... 
Nak PA-5 is buzzing ???
Swampwalker is correct the massive power transformer in the PA-5 is in the center mounted directly behind the front panel. If you can not here the hum/buzz from your listening spot don't worry about it. I use to have a PA-5 in the late 80s-90s. It...
