| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION A vote for the RP-9 here. I find it so quiet and smooth. Very pleasing to my ear, especially with my warmish McIntosh solid state amplifiers, now paired with my Rogue ST-100. It has the tubes and features I find useful, balance adjustable via remo... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations @kaizen28 I just deleted a lengthy post to share two thoughts, maybe three (Edit: or four). 1. You should purchase a new AV receiver, and it doesn’t have to have a preout, which will save you a lot of money. Use the Naim RCA sub/preouts as an AUX ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac Thanks for the tips. @antinn When I cite your work in future, I will be sure to include the text from the foreword, p. 3 that you quote above. @whart Thank you for allowing free download of the current edition of Precision Aqueous Cleaning... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac Thank you for posting a link to Neil Antin‘s magnum opus. @antinn Thank you for responding to clarify specific questions with citations to your book. Generally speaking, this is a very very confusing topic for beginners such as myself, ge... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music Thanks Mike. Looks interesting. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @panzrwagn Thank you for educating me. Then I don’t know why anyone recommends using high level I/O for integrating subs in a music system, but I swear I have read/heard the advice more than once, and it always caused me to scratch my head. I coul... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @panzrwagn and others, I think I’ve figured out why some people are recommending the high level connectors, provided that the sub has high-level out, as well. If the full range, high level, signal goes to the sub first, the sub applies a low pass ... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @m-db Thanks. I feel that I will to develop some skills along the way because despite several attempts at integrating subs, I haven’t been able to get lucky yet. And you’re right about the room ruling. I’ve got two completely different systems set... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @m-db I haven’t gotten that far yet on this go-round. In the past, I’ve placed the sub in the listening position and gone around the room to find the spot the bass was strongest. The Dayton-Amped 15” sub for the McIntosh system is headed for the #... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @erik_squires Agreed. It is not the best way to connect a subwoofer and I’m sorry I brought it up. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @czarivey 10-4. Up to this point I have done the same. It’s that I keep hearing others say that hi-level speaker connections are better for listening to music. Which makes me wonder if I’m missing something. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @czarivey I’m sorry, I completely misread your post to mean that you preferred to use the tape loop for your sub. @paradisecom When I’ve used speaker level inputs on the subs, I’ve connected them as you describe. However, I found the dual coil... | |

| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @ditusa Thank you, Mike. That was a good read. Thank you, too, for introducing me to a very approachable audiophile expert. I happen to have an active crossover [Pioneer D23] I can put to good use implementing some of Barry’s connection/integratio... | |
| ADD or Audiophile? @ezstreams If I’m reading, I’m not really listening, and the music is in the background of my mind. Like you, I’m often reading, if an album is playing, I’m often reading liner notes, same with CDs, if they have extensive note pages with instrumen... |
