| Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner? Socrates: Have you verified that all of your gear is wired to the correct polarity ? Try taking a look at this thread regarding AC noise, hum and polarity before dumping a lot of time and money into what might amount to nothing. Personally, i fou... | |
| 123 Reviews All 5"s For Odyssey How does the Stratos do when driving low impedance low efficiency loads ? Moncrieff has stated that this is indeed a very good amp and i "normally" trust him enough to believe what he says. However, how well the amp does into erratic loads may be ... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? Spluta: As i mentioned above, feeding a high level signal that is below the point of resonance to a vented speaker system will cause the woofer to throw wildly i.e. make excursions that can be dangerous to the woofer itself. I doubt that this is t... | |

| Can asking price be changed after offer is made? A seller can do whatever they like in terms of refusing offers, changing prices, pulling their ad, etc... Disregard the idiot and move on or pay the higher asking price. Such is life and things are not always as we would like them to be. Personall... | |
| What will I Have?? I'm guessing that your talking about using the two caps in parallel to increase the total capacitance. This would give you a 60 ufd cap with a voltage max of 400 v. If you were planning on putting them in series, i would not recommend doing this. ... | |

| Passive tube stage/non-DAC device? The Musical Fidelity X-10D is an even order harmonic distortion generator, hence the "warm" and "rich" tubey sound. If i can recall correctly, distortion was somewhere around 10% when run through one of these devices. Rather than investing in a de... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? I did the same thing Will. I could not understand how that could damage ANY system, even at massive volume. I turned my pre / pro up seven notches higher than normal ( and i like it LOUD ) and nothing even flinched. There just isn't that much bass... | |
| Biamping vs. Bridging Platinum Solo, Soliloquy Alex: Bypassing most ( if not all ) of the internal crossover parts can do wonders in terms of clarity, detail and dynamics. The exceptions to bypassing would be if the designer has built in zobel networks and / or notch filters. One would have to... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? Bishopwill: You mentioned something that i thought of also, but doubted ( or at least hoped ) that Avimar's amp ( Halcro ) wasn't failing in the manner that it would take to pop the woofer. I also "assumed" that the woofer of a "good" speaker woul... | |
| why do power cords make a difference with transpor Seandtaylor99: You bring up a valid point. It is probably a combination of garbage creeping into the machine and garbage seeping out of it. Electrically filtering it via the cord or outboard AC treatment device would help to minimize both aspects ... | |
| Biamping vs. Bridging Platinum Solo, Soliloquy Bridging typically gives you quantity whereas ACTIVE bi-amping gives you quality. Passive bi-amping can be beneficial, but not anywhere near the extent as going active. I'm not familiar with either speaker, but with 86 dB speakers, you'll need at ... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? YOW !!!! This makes me want to run out and buy this DVD just to see how much "devastation" i can accomplish. Thanks for the warning : )As to the damage done to the JM Lab's, i would raise hell with your dealer and the importer. Ask them how some l... | |
