| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment A question you may want to investigate is what could possibly be wrong with the way the transport was reading a clean unscratched CD in the first place?Remember CD's are digital not analog - there should be no "surface noise" with a CD in good con... | |

| Sell Hi-Fi and invest in stock market? If you have to sell your gear to invest in sticks then sorry mate - you missed the boat. Great bargains right now even if it goes a lot lower! | |

| How are the Anthem AVM 20 and AVM30? AVM 20 is extremely flexible, it is a useful pre-amp that has many features. Great value. I'd say it is neutral sounding - which might mean "bright" to some people. | |

| Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect Duke,Thanks. I read all your posts with great interest. | |
| Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect Duke,Thanks - that we hear frequencies or cycles and NOT transients in the bass makes sense - you have convinced me that John Watkinson may be barking up the wrong tree. Your contention that integration is better with a sub close to the mains when... | |
| Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect Phase matters alot If you feel that way then consider active designs with digital filters - manufacturers can correct phase in the crossover region as well as below woofer resonance in the bass...yes you heard me correctly it means "perfect phase... |
