Ten year old digital source upgrade suggestions?
After borrowing an Audioquest Forest USB-A to micro and re-ripping two CD's I noticed a slight overall improvement over the previously ripped CD's. While the player still sounds better the USB cable swap was a scary wake up call that has me waffli... 
Best sub for music,
jheppe815, Your post had me lamenting over my pair of Marantz 8B powered DIY JBL 4530 scoops I used in a back line stage Bass rig in the mid 60's. JBL was so approachable and helpful during that period.My current back packable Upshot rig weighs ju... 
Paradigm or JL subwoofer
@m-db The paradigm margin is LESS than the JL Audio. I have seen the price books. Don’t be ignorant.contuzziI think you may have misunderstood what I wrote.[ E Series is a more economical choice in the JL line ]In other words, the E series is less...

Sorry. In hindsight (actually more a senior moment) I read your concerns as more musical rather than for home theater. My personal taste for HT low frequency reinforcement are quite different than for music.Crawl tested location of a single sub is... 
Paradigm or JL subwoofer
This is for Home Theater? Paradigm SW1000's, JL Audio F 112's?  One "sounded far better," where? Your room or mine? That Paradigm margin is quite attractive, eh? After first hand experience with the F series and Paradigm, I wouldn't choose either....

Thanks mahlar123. I apologize for my lack of knowledge.So I connected the Samsung drive to the Mac and begin ripping assuming I'm using the Apple software. The CD's usually sound better and some of the ripped versions simply stop playing. I was su...

Single vs. Dual Subs
mijostyn, I appreciate your suggestions and yes I'm pathetically stuck on analog but our low frequency system is master and slave digitally processor controlled.At shows I'm regularly impressed by total bandwidth room correction demonstrations and... 
Single vs. Dual Subs
Miller +1on subwoofer isolation.My subs have been supported on foam padded dollies with extra soft rubber wheels for many years now. After a move and before a permanent system setup we had our single 18" sub sitting on some folded moving blankets.... 
Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000?
jafantDan did offer to repair if the parts were still available. Thanks to Youtube it seems the Denon laser assembly is known for a short life span. Since its not playing SACD's but still playing CD's it may be as simple as an alignment adjustment... 
Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000?
tweak1, no I don't. It's a bit pricey and I'm just now looking into streaming choices.  I'm currently using a Logitech Squeezebox Touch and a separate Modwright/Truth Denon 3800 for CD/SACD play. We love the convenience of the Squeezebox but its f...
