| Which hard drive for digital music server? Raid systems are very good at providing redundant type protection, but your data is still stored in one physical space. It won't protect against fire, electrical damage or other acts of god. If you're really serious about protection you'll store y... | |
| Permanently sealing a vented subwoofer?? Foam in the vent will not stop airflow, but merely change the velocity and volume of the air movement.The original premise that sealed is superior to vented is suspect. If properly designed either type will work. It's a question of trading off dif... | |
| TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which is best? It depends on which tape your player best matches regarding bias and EQ. Either is a very good tape. | |
| Are benchmark and Maggie 1.6 a good combination? Match your speakers to an amplifier and cable. Relatively speaking the DAC/speaker pairing just isn't as important. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow I find it funny that some many people trash reviewers, the review process and specific reviews as being worthless paid for advertising when the earlier DK amp rollout showed how many of you are wannabe reviewers. While the Positive Feedback piece ... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Dirtyragamuffin, good luck with your engineering career. The pro side needs more people with an audiophile attitude.I really disagree with your attitude towards EQ devices. I looked at your system, which looks real nice, and it includes a vinyl ri... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow I really don't see where this "review" is any different than any other published review. When isn't a review paid for by the manufacturer? Isn't it normal for the manufacturer to foot the entire cost of "loaning" equipment to the reviewer? A paid ... | |

Also, 50 feet of cable will degrade the performance of all but the stoutest high current amps into the load the Summit's p... | |
| Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub? If it's such a bad idea because of vibration, then why do 99% of the loudspeakers in the market have crossover circuits inside the speaker cabinet? Placing an amp on top of a sub is really no different in concept than a self powered loudspeaker. A... | |
| Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub? It won't damage any of your equipment, but it could effect the sound quality. Use Virbrapods, sorbothane or some other type of isolation device and place the equipment on an MDF, glass or other type of platform. It's nowhere near as big a problem ... | |
| Front- vs. Down-Firing Subs and Amp Issue If the sealed cabinet design doesn't guarantee better performance, than why make the blanket statement that it's so important? | |

| Any New Music capture your fancy ? The Hacienda Brothers eponymous release on Koch records. Just saw them live and ended up buying the album. Country with a rock-a-billy twang and a dash of soul. It's not on the album, but live they do a killer version of the Intruder's "Cowboys To... | |
| Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan For Sarah Vaughan try anything on the Pablo label (Ellington Songbooks, Copacabana, etc.) and stay away from her Roulette label material (more pop than jazz, but others may disagree). Also look out for her version of "September Song" with Clifford... |
