1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...?
I went the 2 sub route and use a Dspeaker Antimode Dual Core 2.0 with mine. For HT I use the Dspeaker 8033s. Either of these units will take care of peakes and nodes in the room.Good luck,

How are they better than the Audiophile Vortexbox? If I get one I will have the SOTM USB card installed. 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
There are a couple of guys over on Audio Circle who have paired the 225 with a cryo treated iFi iTube ($300) with a modified to 9vdc Astron SL 11A power supply ($120) with very good results. Astron will do the mod from 12v to 9v for free. I use th... 
Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair?
Seriously consider DNM Cables. I'm using a XLR-RCA cable with fantastic results, the XLR-XLR ($248.00 delivered) cable will sound just as good. They are a copper solid core design, the high and mids are true to life and the bass is solid and taugh...

Value of Sony XBR Tube TV's
Gave away my 36" XBR in Feb 2013. My 1st floor living room is 10' off the ground. The guy I gave it to used a large front end loader to take it away. It took four guys to bring it into my house we bought it.

Hey I'm the one who mentioned China so please don't bring Macrojack into your rant!Perhaps you should learn more about US history in regards to industry building. Very nasty stuff before the work place became "civilized"

@Macrojack-No truer words could have been written about how money is made in the US. In most Asian countries, China to be specific, investment is carefully thought out to benefit the generations to come. Here investors are more concerned about the...

@Macrojack- Sandy did minimal damage to AC as compared to the towns north. The eye came ashore just south in Sea Isle City with the winds whipping in a circular fashion about 50-100 miles north. Hence all the serious damage in Ocean County and nor...

I saw a news report last week that said either Bergen or Hudson County want put forth a ballot referendum for a few casinos across the river from NYC. If that passes AC will take another very serious hit. With Indian reservation casinos, the casin...
