Need help with priorities
No, no advantage really, the XLR is good if you have to go with very long runs of interconnects, but the wadia puts out 4 volt at the RCA jacks, and the same at the XLR, most CD players only do the 4 volts(pro audio output) at the XLR and the stan... 
Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast"
Sorry, looks like my post was very slow, I don't think it was directed at me, why is does it take like a day to get administration approval sometimes? 
Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast"
I'm not sure if I was just attacked or what but I own mcintosh gear and sorry if I offended anyone... But regardless mcintosh also holds its used value so that has a big thing to do with purchasing it for me, and that is the reason to the harley r... 
anyone heard zu definition speakers?
Tbg, not the front woofers, they are True full range crossoverless 10"'ers and respond from 40hz up to 12khz perfectly, the 4 rear 10's are in fact only 40hz Down on their own amplifier, the supertweeter picks up the range at 12khz up to who knows... 
Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast"
hmm, I have to say that mcintosh does have a sound of its own, but it is very natural as stated, straight forward raw. But this is more attributed to their preamps in my opinion, because just about any good amp in this class hooked up behind their... 
anyone heard zu definition speakers?
Tbg No I have not, I like the Duo's a lot however, but yeah for integration definatly the Zu's are much easier to deal with and more natural I guess, and CHEAPER!! But for the type of package you get with the Zu's I think they have it down pretty ... 
Nuforce
I heard the 9's both basically the same design from what I understand but more power with the 9. 
Speakers for 80s rock?
Guaranteed with most of the stuff no subs, if you have a Thin problem, especially with Hair bands make sure you get a receiver/Intergrated with tone controls, or a seperate Equalizer and fix how bad most of those recordings are.. I listen to prima... 
WHAT WOULD CAUSE JC-1 MONOBLOCK TO SELF DESTRUCT?
First thing I came up with was one transistor not up to par, before reading all of the posts. can almost guarantee thats really the only thing capable of that unles a ground or power wire came lose and shorted, but common whats the chances of that... 
phase inverted preamps...about
Well, Let me say this not sure beyond what a phase invert will do accept cause the amp to go out of phase to the speaker and possibly suck sound out of certain situations... BUT the Invert at the Digital domain is absolutly necessary if you hear i... 
Crown commercial amps for home use?
I had a Ce1000 myself, very noisey, I have not tried QSC so who knows it will come down to system synergy in the end, if you can save a lot of money and make it work go for it, but I still go against Fan type even if they are quiet enough, all kin... 
Crown commercial amps for home use?
The K-1 is decent, but overpriced... Definatly do not buy a FAN type of any pro gear they are loud, and 99% of the time have a slight ground hum even if you lift the ground, and really only sound decent with Subwoofers. The other problem I had wit... 
Nuforce
Correction to my above post "If you like a "wetter" or more liquid organic sound and do not mind that the hard edged definition is missing in your music then these are for you, and they are super efficient very small and well I guess cost effectiv... 
Nuforce
Okay I really hate to respond but, Nuforce is not a bad amp at all... It is for the people that are "Intellectual" or more of an accurate listener not the super emotional listener. They do everything well and maybe perfect, but music is not perfec... 
anyone heard zu definition speakers?
Lets put it this way the Definition will be like standing in the middle of a huge military air show, all around Huge soundstage, incredible dynamics and far higher DB with effortless bottom end, they have attack like no other speaker anywhere near...
