| DId lightening strike twice? Amp s problem Hifitime- Yes, I have a full loom of Jade Vermeil. Good deduction and good idea. When swapped in the ss amp, I used the i/c that was already connected to it. I will change the i/c and report back. | |

| McCormack DNA-1 Rev A question Unsound- WRT the OP's question, regardless of our own interpretation of the semantics the answer about the 2 binding posts is to facilitate bi-wiring. More importantly, it is NOT to drive to sets of stereo speakers. | |
| Which alcohol to use? Cuccarese- Send me some and I'll tell you if it works ;~) | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Rev A question Unsound- I guess we all have different ideas of the semantics involved. If you go thru the various threads on this, you will see lots of confusion and if I contributed to it, I apologize. One way to perhaps differentiate is to call them internal o... | |
| Flat Speakers next to Wall Mounted Screen If you are planning on spending a fair amount, Joseph Audio makes a model designed for wall mounting. Otherwise, there are lots of speakers designed for in-wall mounting. | |
