Connect a sub to stereo system
The best way to connect a sub, ime, is coming off the speaker outputs of the amp into the speaker inputs of the sub. It will be more coherent. Enjoy ! MrD.

Move up in the Vandersteen line. Enjoy ! MrD. 
NuForce STA 200
I had a CC2 and BT2 back then. The amp in particular, was exceptional for what it was. Considering the age and technology of the components in the CC2, my bet is on the Nuforce. However, a complete rebuild of the CC2 might be very enjoyable. Enjoy... 
What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus
Wolf, great..........subtle is good I suppose. I hear dramatic changes each and every time I do it. My ears are very tuned to the differences. With time, I believe, with recently listened to familiar music, you will hear a cleaner presentation. En... 
NuForce STA 200
Ditto on a 2nd unit. 
NuForce STA 200
The original $ 1299. price for the STA 200 was not going to work, simply because the JOB 225 was $1599., more power and bridgeable. However, the technology is almost exact, and when Nuforce decided to deliver them to their dealers for far less, th... 
Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III
When someone mentions Miles Davis recordings, it brings me to that early time in my life that I heard a set of Khorns, and I knew this was the reproduction I wanted. I owned Khorns for 2 years, as, I had a place with ideal corners to accommodate t... 
Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5
Not familiar with ( have not heard ) Morrison speakers, but why not give the Nuforce STA 200 a try. $499. from Audio Advisor, and can be returned if you do not like it. I like it very much, and feel it is a "sleeper ". I do feel it betters many am... 
Best speaker/system piano concerts
Yes, I believe in speed, and that 4 letter word " prat ". 
Nuprime st10 or nuforce sta200, or parasound a23
I leave all of my solid state gear on 24 / 7, unless I am away overnight or for longer. I cannot say what your ears prefer, but I have given up on tubes, for now ( which in a way is a shame, because I run horns ). At 64 years old, I am appreciatin... 
Nuprime st10 or nuforce sta200, or parasound a23
Based on the Goldmund circuit used originally in the JOB amplifiers, the STA200 has, besides what I have mentioned above, an extremely wide bandwidth. Put them all together, and you have an amp that will " amplify " everything, including distortio... 
Nuprime st10 or nuforce sta200, or parasound a23
I own a Nuforce STA 200 and it is, imo, an amazing little amplifier, and at the $499 price, and very good purchase. I use high quality banana plugs. However, as I have stated in a few other threads, it has a very high gain of 34.5 db and has an in... 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
Al, thank you, and I am glad someone caught the line. Enjoy ! MrD. 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
To George and all. I have been listening to my Luminous Audio Axiom II with Walker mod, single ended 3 in 2 out, with remote, for a week now, and I have to say, I am connecting with the musicians, as well as the mixing and mastering engineers who ...
