Adding two JL Audio F110's to my 2 channel system
I'm using two of the same subs, and I have to agree with James633.The only correct way to do it, is with the active crossover.That was actually suggested to me by JL tech people.I'm using Pass Labs XVR1, but if it too expensive for you now, you co...

VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question
I think he's right, AlonIn the end, rack is an essential part of the system, so it's quality should be commensurate with the quality of your components. Plus, I would try to avoid placing hot tube amps right under your other components.They (amps...

Agear, Charles,My rack is DIY with maple shelves, something like a Mapleshade.I do use SRA Ohio stands under the Lamm amps and Tron Syren, that sits on the rack.I'm getting SRA rack though.As I mentioned previously, I've had my whole system on var...

I didn't want to participate in this thread, but anyhow...I used to have numerous Sistrum platforms in my system.Under the speakers, amps, preamp., etc.After reading glowing accounts of Sistrum owners here, I'm somewhat surprised nobody noticed ho... 
Joule Electra
I meant to say "Joule Electra", and not "Joule Electric".And BTW, I used to own Joule LA- 450 ME preamp, probably the last one Jud had ever made.I know, last Simon Thatcher wanted Jud to make one for him (after hearing mine), and Jud didn't want t...
