@mijostyn- If you still have that TacT, DAC output board: chances are 99 out of 100; it was one of the surface mount caps, that went South.  It'sthat exact failure, those in the know about Tact, check first.      It was when one of mine did th...

@millercarbon: Here’s a digital punch in the arm (re: Synergistic).                          YOU OWE ME A COKE!     Well: I figure within two minutes, in here, is pretty close, anyway.     Especially, the way I type (ie: Columbus Method/discover a...

@geleary:     Here's a suggestion, Sarge.      Try something from these guys, which will allow you to test various cables, for a fraction of the cost of buying and returning.       Don't know your price range or system, but: if you call them an...

@geleary:     Based on the way you've described your service; I'm guessing you passed through Nha Trang, once or twice and have been places we Americans never were?

@petg60- PLEASE, don’t even go there!     I’m still using an old fart style, Motorola Razr (flip phone).                                         OUCH!     I don't even turn it on; unless I intend to PLACE a call (WAY too much robo and spam).

     To clarify, "... cut a piece to the same width of the outlet..." should have been, "...cut a piece, the same width as the double duplex cover plate...".      AND: the parenthesis after Romex: should have been a comma, since the Spelling, Gr...

     I believe Spell* + Grammar Checker for English, both to be available on the Net, wherever one lives.                  *That's what all those little, red squiggles, you must have jumping off the page are about, geleary123.      Perhaps, in s...

@mijostyn- "What makes you believe the Tact does not go below 20 Hz?"    I MEANT* to say: I cut off at 20Hz, in the program.        Lower would be a waste of of amplifier power, in my current room, given the dimensions and my phono pre has a sub...

@rauliruegas -        I understand, perfectly!      "Curiosity" has killed this old cat's wallet, many times over, in as many scenarios.                                 "Not any more"...INDEED!

@mijostyn-   If you're still using the TacT; have you upgraded the power supply?   If not: get the highest (Watts) output supply that Mean Well now offers (I haven't kept up with their offerings, of late), replace the regulator with something be...

@rauliruegas -   Coincidentally: the same day I mentioned what the Magnepan arm typically brings, over there: this popped up on eBay:     https://www.ebay.com/itm/194208016067?epid=1286459254&hash=item2d37b326c3:g:-pAAAOSwPO5Zz4kN        Not...

@ashk1860-   "As I understand that is just used for measurement."                                        Which is why I asked!                     I’ve seen much sillier mistakes made, in the field.Either of those mics should work, with a mic pr... 
Poor quality control crooked driver
     Personally, if the woofer is easily removable, I fix it myself.      But then: things out of alignment/plumb, drive me up the wall.       If you can't do the repair and the frame is seated, flat on the cabinet face/mounting board and gasket...

@rauliruegas:     "You are rigth but the unipívot behavior is way similar in between this kind of design."         I would never deny that fact, BUT: nor would I ever categorically state that the design could not function very well, if not excel...
