Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
Anybody shipping LP (which some are so rare and hard to replace) should use their common sense when shipping. If shipping a single LP, use the USPS (US Post Office) Priority shipping. Its cheap, it only takes packages up to a certian weigth and si... 
Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
I've been waiting to give my thoughts on shipping. First I would like to state to any seller out there placing ads and selling used items to buyers willing to pay. IT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE SELLERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE 100% SURE THAT the item s... 
HT Processor Dilema w/ Aerial
Honestly, I wouldn't use any one of those processrs. (expensive and not worth the price when it comes to music)Instead of paying so much for a music/video/surround processor I would strongly consider a separate preamp for true musical sound (you h... 
Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power?
Both amps, the 7.1 and the low wattage Class A Marantz just do not have the current necessary to play Modonna at high volume levels. For reasonable price Classe has the kind of amps (300w per side into 8ohm and up I would recommend)you need for th... 
Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power?
YOUR CLIPPING, YOU NEED A BIGGER HIGHER CURRENT AMP FOR THE 10T. Read the other post you posted. Your going to damage the 10Ts and your amp by driving them into clipping. Your running out of current. 
Aerial 10T Owners and Anyone that can help
Simple, your amps are clipping. Your amps do not have enough high current for the very low efficient 4ohm 10Ts. You are going to damage the speakers and amp by forcing it to do what it can not do. Simple, like the others are telling you. Get some ...

How to cable my DIP?
Tried many dig cables with the Dip. Canare, MSB cable, Monster, MIT, to name a few. I gave all these cables away after using the Kimber D60 and KS2020. The Dip is a great little dig processor that most likely will improve your sound from Transp to... 
better gear, worse recordings
All of the systems are different. What is noticed with the latest system (and best to date) was staying on par with the recording. The bad recordings still sound bad but better than before and the good recordings are much noticeably better to just... 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
If all is true, the situation between the Lawyer and yourself was a terrible experience and I can feel your frustration. I also feel for the first inquiry that was willing to purchase the amps and feel that he also was jerked around. Life comes wi... 
Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?
Yes, using a RCA DD DTV Sat system using the opt dig out into a Monarchy Audio SuperDrive Dip and out using a Kimber D-60 BNC/RCA dig cable into the Dac. Listen to the Satellite Music Channels while I work on the puter. Also have a good tuner for ... 
Anyone gone from a single REL sub to stereo subs?
If money isn't an issue, yes adding the second sub will improve the overall sound and can help integrate easier in a problem room. I went from a single Stadium to a pair. Have always found that using a stereo pr of subs sounded better than a singl... 
Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors???
Audio Connect on Bloomfield Ave in Verona NJ is a very good and recommended visit. Ask for John Ruttan. Dealers in NYC can be a disappointing experience. Audio Connect will be a good experience. 973-239-1799 ask for John Ruttan. Maybe best to call... 
I can't believe there is no difference
I didn't read any of the responces, only your post. The only thing i can tell you is that any system is only as good as it's weak link. Belive me, in a very acurate high quality system you will be able to very easily hear the differences between d...
