Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
" Now, nothing related to sub but anyone know good decent Flat cable for my surround pair where I need to hide under the rug."Not a good idea. Use a real pair of speaker cables. You don't have to go with anything really expensive, but you don't wa... 
Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp?

Question for Amp Designers
" Yeah, too bad we can't get Julian Hirsch in here to answer this one!"I'll answer for him."We put this amp through our most rigorous tests, and here's what we found out. For the first test, we pushed the power button. It passed with flying colors... 
Question for Amp Designers

Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b
Bryston is a better amp than the Acurus, but I wouldn't get either. If you just want something to hold you over, get a pro amp. A QSC GX3 would be a good choice. Guitar Center sells them for $299 brand new. It has more than enough power to drive y... 
What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop

Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
" If you want to make bass, you can either move a large driver slow or a small driver fast. If all other factors are equal, there'a no difference. "" That doesn't make any sense. A driver's movement corresponds to the frequency it's asked to repro... 
Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive
Try this before you do anything else. Download a free program called EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Install it, and then configure it using the wiki setup guide. (You need to use the guide. Its too difficult to figure out on your own.). During the setup ... 
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
