Von Schweikert opinion and help.
I owned one for a while. Mine sucked quite a bit of power. The tweeters went out shortly there after. Von Schweikert woould not cover them even though they were still under a 12 year warranty. They said the tweeters must have ben over driven. Huh?... 
Oxidation, how to prevent?
I have a spray can of Deoxit and it does help clean the cables. A good copper cleaner like Brasso also does a good job.Question on something that has bugged me.After cleaning the connectors, when I apply Pro Gold by using its brush applicator it s...

Any experience with Y-interconnects?
Almarg, Thank you very much for the info, 
Monster X-terminators vs. Audioquest banana plugs?
I found that the Cardas eventually loose their grip and when using thick spades they fall out too easily. Also a couple of the shafts bent. They need improvement.The Monster ones do have a very good grip but you cannot stack another into it. 
Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES
Samzx12, You can look up my system. It is posted below next to my name ozzy.I stand by my opinion that the 9000 redbook quality is sub par to others in that price range. That is not to mean it doesnt have the sound and frequency extremes, but it h...

Pass amps + Power Cords ??
Dne, I owned the Hydra 8 and the Hydra 2 and I thought the Pass Labs X350.5 sounded way better plugged into a dedicated outlet. 
Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables
Dont use the balanced outs to a subwoofer.I am using the RCA outs from my Preamp to the Fathom F113's . The Balanced outs go to my Pass Labs Amp.You really should try this.Actually, the Balanced is a ittle louder than the single ended and does IMH... 
Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables
The Pass has excellent bass quality, but everything matters. Your speakers, Amps, cables , power source etc.IMHO, The Pass works better with unresricted power. Please do not plug it into the PS audio Equipment. Dedicated line also would help, but ...

I owned a KSA 250 for quite a few years. I did have to send it to Krell after a flame came out the top.I think the repair was about $500 including freight shipping. The unit was returned installed on a pallet and a new box.I eventually sold the Kr... 
Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ???
Aetheraudio, Thank you for the additional info. I found that with my Biwire Synergistic Apex Cables the Nuforce sounds better at the speaker end on the Mid/Treble leg compared to installing it at the Amp end.This may because 1. The Synergistic Ap... 
Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ???
Vuckovic , I hope my dealer will send the other filters to try before the Nuforce trial period ends.The Morrow cables and the Synergistic are very different cables. In a way, its unfair for the Morrows because ALL of my other cabling is the top of... 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
Macdadtexas , Man you should leave Audio and get into BS as a hobby. 
Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ???
Vuckovic, Because of your last posting I decided to give the SCSS Filters another go. With those filters in place I can hear that there is a better center image for the vocals that is quite nice. But, the treble and the bass is still not as define...
