| How to Eliminate Hum? CDP + Pass Preamp + Amp Setup. OP sounds like the dealer has 9 more days to fix it, then.. Does the seller have any ideas? Did it sound right where you picked it up from, and not correct at your place? 1. Remove all routers and cable crap from that circuit. It should be on a ... | |
| Storage Device Recommendations OP I think you don’t want a failure, correct? AND if you do, just a drive swap and let it repopulate. The system will give an error or unhealthy FAT or what ever file tracking system you use. NTFS, FAT, Novell, ec. The fact is you keep on working ... | |
| Storage Device Recommendations RAID with hot swap worked well for me I used Raid 01, 10, 5, and tried a few others. RAID 5 offers hot swap.. I prefer a hardware based RAID product. Keep the drives smaller. SCSI drives offer the higher transfer rates. SATA, and a few others "RA... | |

| Spades vs Bananas vs Bare Wire Treated with Caig Deox I still have a few speakers that have the clip style connectors. They are collectibles. Changing them is out is a No No. Infinity Infinitesimals. Quite a nice bookshelf. Bare wire is a better way, when your stuck with that type of terminal.. 5 wa... | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... @ oldhvymec, find it very interesting that your tinnitus subsided after your heart repair, please elaborate to the repair and any thoughts of why if shared to you by your surgeon or cardiologist. <<<<<<<<<<<<... | |

| Harley quote Wow what a load of, "let's start an argument". Cables make a difference it's as simple as that.. Break in, (not burn in) makes a lot of difference.I've seen some sloppy testing, but this guy takes the cake... 3" cheater wire. 6 hours of break in,,... | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... From a background of NOISE making, I can tell you protect what you have. This may sound strange but taking care of your ears, nose and throat can really help. People say it only gets worse, I KNOW with care it can get better. Stay away from "LOUD... | |
