PS Stellar M700s for my subs? Do some Amp designs cut off low frequencies at 20 Hz?
Class D has been used for subs for a while now, so I say, go for it.   
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
Thanks everyone, but I was wondering about the Optical cable being 1.5 meters, like the other SPDIF cables (Coaxial, BNC and AES/EBU) recommended lengths.   
cheapest cable upgrade ever
At least you tried it.... thanks for the post.

If one was to try one out, does this fall into the 1.5 meter minimum like SPDIF cables?  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
They will stop when they're too old to feel like getting up, to turn the record over.  
New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing.
Barmeg, thanks for taking my joke in good stride. As a past owner of 1.7 and 20.1 models, I do know about their wonderful sound. I hope you get the issue resolved quickly. Magnepan should be jumping through fire to fix your speakers.

Magnepans are fine sounding speakers, but don't confuse a 50 foot paperclip, glued to a shower curtain, placed in front of some magnets to be 21st century engineering. Especially when they require the power of a super nova.

Where has it been for the past few weeks? I love it too.  
Anybody remember G.A.S.
DCM Time Windows... those were good sounding speakers, but being just a cardboard oval with wooden caps I think it was the perfect name that sold them.   
i desperately need help with an audio recording that has a whisper with background noise
This is not that hard. Hopefully the background hiss is a shifted frequency from the vocal recording. With an equalizer just lower the hiss while raising the vocal frequencies. Then just turn up the volume. Good Luck.  
Is the Holo Titanis the same as the USBe Perfect?
Wow, the Titanis looks like the more expensive one, but the UBSe is over 3 times as much! Thanks for the photo links. It makes it even more confusing now though.

Oh well, I guess no one knows for sure.  
Ok ..I have Maggie 1.7is on Magnarisers but one keeps blowing the "tweeter"
Is it at all possible to swap the crossovers? I know this is some work, but if it’s not the crossovers, then it’s the tweeter section that is drawing too much current. Thankfully it is fuse protected.

How many fuses have blown, and were they all from the same package?  
Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII?
Don't count out the Cary. While I've never heard the RM-9, I did get a long audition of the CAD-120. It was a wonderful sounding amp, that I think can take a bunch of different power tubes with a bias adjustment (probably like most amps). With the...
