| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? You can buy a "billion" ferrite clamps in various sizes from either Digi-Key or Mouser ( can't remember which ) for the price of one small package of the Audioquest stuff. Do a search through the old Greg Weaver articles on Soundstage and he even ... | |

| Anyone use a POWERED SUB with Center Channel? I was thinking about adding a 12" woofer to my center channel ( have a spare driver that matches my mains and two subs ), but it would probably be overkill. I've already got two 8's in a pretty big box ( appr 45" wide X 20" deep ), so they go pret... | |
| either DAC or transport is giving troubles... Have you tried switching the interconnects between the DAC and the preamp from right to left ? This would tell you if it is one of the cables.
