Fan on Amp Unbeatable
You may be able to replace the fan with a fan exactly the same size that is quieter. Digikey and Parts Express have hundreds of them. Measure the voltage on the fan leads it is usually 110 VAC or 25 VDC. If 25 VDC you can wire a pot to it to adjus... 
Solid state AB amp?
Then you read what Sanders has to say and you really start scratching your head. http://sanderssoundsystems.com/technical-white-papers/53-esl-amp-bias-white-paper It all comes down to what you like the sound of best. 95% of the population couldn... 
Acoustic treatment
Geoffkait. Still not a direct answer. I probably knew what a Helmholtz resonator was before you were born. In 1978 I had two RH Labs (Randy Hooker) sub woofers. They were essentially enclosed Helmholtz resonators adjusted to 30 Hz if I remember co... 
Acoustic treatment
Sorry folks. It falls off like a rock at 18 Hz. My typing is worse than awful.They did not teach boys how to type because we did not become secretaries.  
Acoustic treatment
Tim, I think you should find a job as a used car salesman, excuse me salesperson.Actually summed bass below 100 Hz is an advantage in most acoustic situations you would have in the typical home.Jon, It would be easier with identical subs. But if y... 
The Presslift
For $400 I'll pass. If I do not want to pay attention to my wonderful turntables I'll play a digital format. mindpoprevolution, you can take your flying saucer thing-a-ma-jiggie and.........I'll think of something less poetic than what I had in mi... 
Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?
You guys sometime make me want to pull out whatever hair I have left. You are spending someone else money without analyzing the situation.The TT is sitting on a heavy stand on a concrete floor. There is no isolation platform that is better than fo... 
Acoustic treatment
Oh and Mr Rocket science. How big would a helmholtz resonator have to be to resonate at 20 Hz? Anyone care to guess? 
Acoustic treatment
It is easy to Dampen frequencies 250 Hz and up. Doing so creatively can make a big improvement in imaging. Unfortunately as you go further down especially as the wavelengths get longer than 100 Hz it becomes progressively harder. I have played wit...

Bass management with stand alone preamps
Thanx Chris. This is the kind of thing that happens when there is not a strict industry standard. It seems the only standard here is the plug and jack. Planned obsolescence. Now everyone has to buy a new TV and player to stay up to date. Chris, is... 
Magnetic Footers
Thank you Kosst. You all need to wear copper bracelets for your arthritis.The only reason to put your amp up on anything is to improve ventilation under the amp. Cereal boxes will work for that. Magnetic feet? $1000?That is one of the stupidest th... 
Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII
Stick with Magico and work with the subs. If you cross at 100 Hz or above and put a high pass filter on the Magicos thingswill get much more dynamic. I have never used REL subs so I can not comment on them. Go to a store that has them and turn the... 
Class A Solid State Sound
I have not had a tube amp since 1969. I have blown a couple of SS amps, a Fuzz Linear and a Krell KMA 100. Tubes do have a major advantage in that they are easy to change. Transistors not so easy. I only care about what sounds better. If I have to... 
Bass management with stand alone preamps
Esthlos, The receivers and Blu Ray players are aimed at theater folks and the DACs and Preamps are aimed at Audio folks.
