Bass--How much is too much?
The key is not to cancel any bass notes from the mains. Room acoustics has a lot to do with this balancing act. I like feeling a kick drum hit me in the chest without cancelling any musical notes. I believe this can be measured and corrected but I... 
Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help...
I have had Signal Silver ic's and speaker cable then Speltz's anti ic's and speaker cable now I am using Reality Cable. If your speakers are away from the back wall spend the extra and get the Reality Cable. If not then the Speltz cable is the bes... 
Does absolute polarity matter?
Polarity matters. It seems that power polarity makes a bigger difference. Components can be wired in reverse from your house power and power cords can be wired in reverse. I guess when you change the speakers terminal around this causes a reverse ... 
Best rock song of all times
I think one that represents rock is "Come Together" by the Beatles. There are so many good rock songs that I can't pick one but this was a good start for me. I was 6 when my brother played it for me. 
dvd audio any good disc out there
Get Van Halens first cd on HDCD. Look on the back of the case for the HDCD logo. Queen "The Game" dvd-audio. Eagles " Hotel California" dvd-a. Police on SACD is real good too. You can find these at Best Buy or online at CD Universe. The 3910 plays... 
Is my Esoteric DV-50S a keeper?
Upgrade the DV50 and you won't have to think about another player period. You will be very hard pressed to find a stock player that will better it. 
Not Another NuForce thread......
Jim, thanks, for the update. I may try and send a pair of the Ref9's and have them upgraded to the 9SE V2's. They are pretty fair regarding upgrades and I believe Nuforce can take them up to this level. Does anyone know the answer to this? 
The best CD Player for the money
IMO, the best players for the money are not stock players as the one upgraded/modified player I have pretty much embarrassed the one box wonder and another heavy weight that retails for 14k. Not bad for spending $3500.

Jim, are you using the 9SEV2's with your 10t's? Did you have the V1's before?

Stltrains, Do you turn your pre-amp off and leave the amps on. I thought turning off the pre and leaving the Nuforce amps on was not advised. I would not want to leave a tube pre on all the time. If there is better attack in the instruments then...

Ggil and Stltrains, beyond the transparency these amps can produce did they add some bloom to the mids or give them some texture that they are missing? The amps are good and they do sound nice but after an A/B with some Linn Klouts they did lack i...

I would also like to know which amps did not make the grade compared to the 9SEV2's. Now that Nuforce has entered the 5k region it brings many more big names into the picture on the used market. When you buy used and the name is well known you can...

Audiooracle, Nuforce 9.02's. You have to bi-amp the Linn Klouts to match the Nuforce's depth. The Klouts have more of the midrange magic or realism. Both are extended on top and the Nuforce has deeper low end. It is the middle frequencies that sep...

Someone in here mentioned the Parasound A21 bettering a Nuforce amp. I have a Parasound A21 and it runs my rear speakers for movies. It is like a Turbo Carrera racing a stock VW. Now, Linn Klouts bi-amped sound more real and involving compared to ...
