Hooking up my JL sub
Why would you need a switcher? The sub would be hooked up all the time. It goes off by itself after no signal for about 15 minutes.BTW,  I own 4 JL Audio F-113 subs.ozzy

imhififan,Looking at the Jensen unit it looks like you have to use speakon connectors, is that true?Update:Just talked to Parts Express they had no idea how this thing works, no help!Probably the easiest and best way would be to use either an elec... 
Music Server or Laptop?

Soldered VS ...everything else
If you can, connect the clean bare wires to the speaker terminals. All connectors, paste or any applied coating will degrade the signal.But, if that is not possible make the connection with the best metallurgy available. No solder, paste, etc. Cri... 
Another Music Direct Catalog observation
It also is a problem with younger people actually enjoying the hardware and the hobby as we old farts do.I can remember making so many speaker cabinets, Heathkit projects along with recordings on reel to reel, 8 track, cassettes, records, cd and n...

I own a Oppo 205 and the 95. toddalin, (open for offers on the 95). I modified the 205 with a linear power supply. The 4K video quality with discs and/or a HRZ Firestick streaming 4K Netflix is fantastic!For audio though I use a PS Audio Direct St... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
slaw,I must say that I did try to reintroduce the Bybee’s recently since your post on that subject. I found that the soundstage became more congested and flatter. Then after removing the Bybee’s and just using the Omega mats everything returned to... 
Synergistic Research Black Box -
ronrags,Yes, the X4 does seem to be more powerful. Probably due to its larger size.ozzy 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I owned a Pass Labs X350.5 amp and preamp for years. One day I tried tube mono blocks and ended up selling the Pass Equipment.ozzy 
Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.
2channel8,I thought I had clean power too. I live in an area that the houses are far enough apart that each house has its own transformer. I have tried many conditioners and they did improve the sound quality anyway.  My latest, is the Audioquest ...
