| Downfiring subs on carpet? Anyone here recall the Stereophile reviewer who couldn't figure out why his system sounded funny until the cleaning lady confessed to replacing his rug with the fibers running the other way? Now what was his name? Oh yeah! Jonathan Scull! Also som... | |
| What am I missing? Pre/power gain and input sensitivity. See, here's the thing about the internet: zero editorial standards. Anyone can post anything.

| can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge I appreciate all the encouragement to do myself but am not inclined to do so with such a pricey cartridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrFV5r8cs0 | |
