FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare?
Again ALL route deliveries from ground are delivered by ground crews. The delivery trucks at UPS don’t even have air ride. Fed Ex or UPS doesn’t have lift gates. The best you can hope for is a dolly. Freight on the other hand has air ride suspens...

TT is OFF.’ Motor off, that is, stylus laying in groove I assume. Wouldn’t that mean that the cartridge is not sending signal to begin with? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<&... 
Turntable repair
I ask you how hard does it look, you're the mechanic? Most TT maintenance is a good cleanup, a couple of startup motor caps, belt, clean the pullies and service the spindle pocket with oil if you can. The PS cable and a 20.00 RCA phono cable from ...

russ69 they work from 18-85hz there is NO rumble filter cut. The factory solution "in the manual" was to give the sub a 25 foot extension cable for phono. READ what they said. LOL  BTW it didn't come with the cable it was optional for phono use.. ...

3) Cable kit with 25' phono cable for connection from controller to woofer cabinet, and a 3' patch cord for connecting the controller to your pre-amp. Speaker wire is not included. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<&...

You see that rumble filter on the plate? Rythmiks plates offer a few more options, I guess. I'm using GRs but they use Rythmik plates. Darn near bullet proof. Very versatile. I do like the finish on that sub you have though. The rumble need to b...

I can’t get over how close that type of sub is, to the rack and it’s NOT decoupled. It’s on a mat? That won’t work. That type of sub rattles the heck out of the floor plane, the one that is CLOSE to your TT. Bla, Bla, Bla everyone, that won’t work...

NO I'll do what I want. Toss me to the DOGS, I like them better anyways. I don't care who I offend. I don't try too often to offend people, but there comes a time. It's as simple as that. If I voice an opinion and anyone, THAT'S YOU, who every yo... 
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck

Speakers on a cabinet .. open to suggestions..
The cabinet if it has a face will act like a beard on any stand mount speaker, that will give a super bass increase because the bass is coming back on the cabinet face. The lack of a narrow stand and the cabinet exacerbates the issue. You say the ...

A rumble filter and springs. 60.00 USD. Use ear plugs to dampen the itty bitty springs. Add 5 dollars for 20 pairs. :-) Go servo bass and eliminate all the problems.. They can’t feed back or pump. They are made for turntables and the pickiest of ... 
Speakers on a cabinet .. open to suggestions..
REL G-2 sub.. It sound's like no room treatment or very little and the crossover point needs be BELOW the tuning of the port, not the same or higher.  The back wall you're talking about is actually the front wall. The open back is a big plus, too.... 
MC2300
Power up the preamp first, mute, turn the volume down on the power amp then power up the power amp, volume up the power amp, volume up the preamp. If it pops then recap that puppy. :-) I've had a few MC2300 and 2500. "The Beast", broken they keep ...
