| Gain on Odyssey Stratos sibelius, check out vmps' www regarding their subwoofers. they are passive, which means that ewe need an outboard x-over & amps, but this is an adwantage, imo: yule get much better performance for much less money. the vmps' go way-low, w/tiny ... | |
| Have Hiss-Need Help ASAP laywer, what ya say is true - about the grounds, that is - dunno about the muzzle! ;~) of course, while there may be exceptions, my experience has been that this sharing of common ground via the interconnects, is a major cause of system-induced hu... | |
| Have Hiss-Need Help ASAP while using a cheater plug can, in theory, be dangerous, the *path* for ground woltage is generally dissapated thru the interconnects. using a cheater plug is basically dangerous when the equipment it's used on is not connected to anything else. i... | |
