line level crossover for subwoofer
Your idea is decent, my Raven Blackhawk has a sub out option that starts rolling off at 80. Only 3dB/octave but saves the amp a lot as this is where the power is. It does make the amp sound a little better. 150Hz is however way too high. Also Rave... 
Santa didnt bring me a $20k linestage
Lump of coal again. Bituminous.  
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
Pitch in music is relative frequency. Perfect pitch is when you can tune for 440 A (for example) without the tuning fork. If you are trying to tell me your perfect pitch is so perfect you know it is 28.5Hz, good one. Mine go down to 18.372 Hz but ...

That's twice now you've responded to posts you are absolutely certain are not worth responding to. Clearly then, as a matter of simple logic they are worth responding to. It does raise the question, Someone who would write and think so illogicall...

Low sample size. I see. At least there is one. I've sampled several different bearings, platters, motors, motor controllers, motor controller power supplies, motor pods, motor pod mounts, belts, platter hold down systems, and plinths. That is why... 
Are tubes psychological?
Science tells us there is no music, just various patterns of compression waves. There is no thought, just voltage potentials propagating along neurons and across synapses. But those very neurons are all just patterns of electric fields bonding val... 
Sub-Amp Wiring Question - Damping Factor Vs. Power Vs. Bridged/Stereo Mode
Two Dayton amps and 4 subs has allowed me to run them every which way, and so they have been tried at 4, 8 and 16 ohms. Technically at 4 ohms the amps have a lot more power and so should play a lot louder. In practice it hardly matters because no ... 
Can Anybody Give An Example Of?
I love this scene for the way Tarantino contrasts the myth of the hippies with, you know, reality.    
Can Anybody Give An Example Of?
 Okay so first off this is the Manfred Mann Earth Band song. Only everyone thinks of Springsteen on account of his cover was so good. Plus, you know, Springsteen. But it's Mann. And the kids in the song, they are going out to Greasy Lake which is... 
Recommendations Wanted
Your budget, amp, taste in music, and volume all combine together to strongly recommend Tekton Moab. Mine are simply superb with all types of music, I am mostly classic rock but love jazz and classical now more than ever and this is all due to the... 
Are tubes psychological?
Yes of course tubes are psychological. Electrical engineers designed tubes to emulate the warm glow of embers burning low in the campfire. This is why they use plates heated to a red-orange glow.  The little tubes don't have quite the same effect... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
No, there is no "music" at 20Hz- well not much anyway. However, there definitely is musical content that low, and it makes a huge difference. Mostly it is the lowest ambient resonance of the recording venue. This is the super low frequency throb y... 
Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening
That's what I did. Started with one I knew well and already had 3 good copies- original vintage and two remasters, including a half speed and a 45. The White Hot Stamper creamed them all, and I mean not even close. Better Records even improved my...

No, I mentioned Fremer praised a different table than mine. Fremer is the premier analog reviewer on the planet. But if you can’t read well enough to glean even basic facts you are probably wise to disregard him- and me. I don’t write for people w... 
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
Zu Soul Supreme 97dB Tekton Lore 98dB Volti Razz 97dB Klipsch Forte 99dB Fleetwood Deville 94dB mapman: Tekton is not in same efficiency class as the others.  Closing in on 20k posts. Maybe time to knuckle down and try and get one right? F...
