Is this your final audio system?
You may as well be buried with an iPod and a dead battery, for all the listening you will do. 
Crossover for active bi-amp mode ML/JBL system
This is an inexpensive, and VERY transparent, way to actively bi-amp a system(with the right caps/resistors in it's passive high pass filter):(http://www.allegrosound.com/Dahlquist_DQ-LP1.html) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-DAHLQUIST-DQ-LP1-ACT... 
Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen
Dug up an eight-year-dead thread? Well- I suppose the OP might still be obsessing. 
Happy Labor Day
ESPECIALLY since we, who work for a living, are now outnumbered by those that vote for a living. 
Happy Labor Day
Same at ya! It's kewl enough in Indy(this evening) to crank up the tubes! 
Anyone tighten up drivers occasionally
A few threads on the subject: (http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1365773409&openusid&zzRodman99999)(http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1367192865)(http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1321414909&... 
question about wire break in
A perfect example of pontificating from The Throne of Abject Ignorance. 
question about wire break in
Dielectric Absorption is far from a theory and, as anyone that knows anything about cables is aware; they all exhibit capacitance. Much of what takes place(over time), is a stabilization of the, "charge" that the cable's dielectric assumes. Those ... 
VTF, VTA, SRA, and 92 degrees - question
"This measurement is of course to be taken at the right VTF as varying it will change the SRA." So will the thickness of the vinyl(ie: standard thin Columbia pressing vs 180 or 200 gram disc). 
Cable/Fuse Direction Matters?
I've never bothered to reverse the many Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, scattered about my system, BUT- I don't doubt that some have discerned a difference. The element/burn wire that most of our 250V miniature(AGC/MDL/etc) fuses contain, must be drawn, like ... 
Cable/Fuse Direction Matters?
The crystaline structure of any metal, forms into a chevron shape when drawn(as into a wire or strand). ie: >>>>>> It is inferred that the boundaries of these crystals(and their inherent potential copper oxide) will create a sort... 
Dynavector 17D3 with a Denon AU300LC SUT
Your SUT is designed for carts with an output impedance of 3 to 40 Ohms. The 17D3= 38 Ohms. Your DL301= 33 Ohms. They are compatable in that regard. 
regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC
Does the stock cord have a 15A, 125V plug(5-15P, two vertical prongs and ground) on it? If it does; the amp's cord is designed for a 15A wall socket and you will be fine with replaced the IEC connectors, on the amps. Is it safe to assume that you ... 
Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Hello again Otto- You may find an audible signal degradation with an adapter, if the rest of your system is very resolving. Hopefully- you won't! 
Soundsmith is not the only game in town.
