| how to break in my cd player You do not have to have the amp on. It makes no difference to the CDP.Mark | |
| Bi-amping + speaker crossovers = redundant? Proper biamping does NOT send the full range signal to the tweeter or the woofers. What is done is the signal is filtered at the line level before amplification, which in theory should cause much less distortion than filtering the amplified signal... | |
| Bi-amping + speaker crossovers = redundant? It certainly is possible but unless the speakers are two way then you will still need to leave part of the crossover in place.Any decent external active crossover will also have volume control for the outputs so you can match everything up. Once y... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think one problem is that so many people just don't know how good music really can sound. Most people probably have never even heard a system set up to image properly.Mark | |
| Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ??? If you mean the ones made in Sweden- I have used the female IEC plug. I cant really comment on the sonics but I felt let down by the build quality given the price.As an aside I dont understand why IEC connectors are so expensive. I can get very ni... | |
| Can Interconnects be converted to speaker cables Why would you want to do this?Alexs is correct. Speaker cables typically carry at least 1000X as much current as a interconnect. Re purposing interconnects to speaker cables would be inadvisable in almost all cases.Mark | |
| Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i I was going to try guitar polish on my NHT classic Fours. Mark | |

| Is the Sony xa5400es better than scd-1? Wow a XA5400ES for $700 would make me seriously reconsider my inclination to quit SACD.Mark | |
| old expensive cd player or new cd mid price ? Well I can't speak to those two exact players but I am thoroughly enjoying my 1995ish vintage Sony XA7ES player - I was using a Denon 3930CI. Just remember that replacement laser blocks for these older players are impossible to find so once the la... | |
| SACD availability There is nothing new in SACD outside of classical, jazz, and the occasional overpriced import reissue. I have supported SACD since 03 or 04 but i have finally come to realize that the format is dead and I should get out while I can still sell my O... | |
| Good Preamp match for Benchmark DAC1 USB I thought the Benchmark already functioned as a preamp.Mark | |
| TrippLite hospital grade power stripe I use the wiremold 9 outlet strip. My only issue with it is that the outlets are too close together to allow use of the big round hospital grade plugs - I have to skip every other outlet, so I can only use 5 of the 9.Mark |
