More subs. What do ya say?
mish, what does the Stryke use as an active driver ? I know that you mentioned that it has two 18" passives, but never saw what was actually hooked up to the amp ??? As to the 18" Northcreek, what is the Q of this system ? How do you like the Marc... 
AC polarity
Abe, did you do that or was that done by some electrician that was actually thinking for a change ? If it was an electrician, we know it wasn't Glen that did it. HAHAHA Sean>PS... i know i've got one coming from Glen on that one !!! : ) 
Faraday cage - suppressing stray EM fields
Kelly, your either hallucinating again or playing on the "hollow deck" of the Starship Enterprise. Beam me up, Scotty... : ) Sean> 
OK - now total confusion has set in
I agree to a certain extent with Pbb. However, i would not have believed that a rack could have such a large sonic effect on a system if i had not experienced it myself. As i've mentioned before, i think that there are different situations for try... 
CM LABS Amplifiers, any opinions?HELP? ?
Try contacting A-gon member Ferrari about these. If i remember correctly, he had a collection of CM labs stuff and was digging up info on them. From what i remember about them, i think that the stuff was pretty solid, but that was quite some time ... 
Best Speaker cables on the cheap?
Bwhite, quite honestly, i did not know the Valhalla's were silver plated copper. Thanks for making me aware of that. As usual, there are always exceptions to ever rule. Besides that, some rules shouldn't be rules at all : ) Sean> 
tweeters to the inside or outside
If you spread the speakers out for a wider soundstage, put the tweeters "inboard". If they are positioned relatively close together, position the tweeters "outboard". Other than that, Ernie had it right. Try them every way known to man and find ou... 
CD Player Modifications. Is it worth the ?
Please speak for yourself Eric and don't put words in my mouth. I stand by my statements. The person that told me this has a Stan Warren modified Pioneer DVD player. He also has a very good quality redbook cd player from a "mass production" manufa... 
Any funny audiofile stories???
Man, you guys have me cracking up. I can relate to Dekay's soldering, but NOT quite. A lot of times i'll solder wearing a t-shirt and shorts, so my legs are exposed. With an 800 degree tip, the solder can flow VERY easily. Needless to say, my girl... 
HELP - I need a cheap pro logic amp & I'm lost -
The Adcom GSP-560 will do what you are looking for. I know that Yamaha and several other companies made processors with amplification for the center and surrounds built in. The Adcom can typically be had for about $150 give or take. Quite honestly... 
Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral
I second Franks suggestion to check with Duke at AudioKinesis. One of the nicest, no pressure, no hype, etc... kind of guys that you can deal with. Sean> 
More subs. What do ya say?
If you are looking for the lowest frequency response and greatest output, try an equalized passive radiator system. This approach WILL suck up massive amounts of power, but you appear to be pretty well off in that area. Passive radiators are the s... 
Does anyone know where to get a Chiro repaired?
Try contacting Fred Pham. He was one of Kinergetics head tech's and is supposedly still repairing / upgrading the Kinergetics and Chiro gear. Unfortunately, i don't have an email address for him, so if someone comes up with one, please post it so ... 
Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?
J, this has been covered several times in the A-gon forum archives. Try doing a search there and see what comes up. If your specific questions aren't answered, try posting them here. Sean> 
Recommended Component Cable
Hi Raanaan, if you are capable of "DIY", you might want to think about picking up some raw Belden and good quality RCA's and doing it yourself. This would not only give you the most bang for the buck, you could also cut to fit. Nothing worse than ...
