| Amp/xover for Hartley 24 subwoofer I used in the past a Richter scale in conjunction with 3 ten's per side driven by a Krell Ksa150. I ran the mains full range and used the Richter scale to eq and blend the bottom end into the natural roll off of my now retired Dunlavy SC4's...Tom | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 Nrchy the one you heard has the same Vishay resistor package as mine..The show piece had a new improved 1st stage and larger transformer with 3 more amps of current. Great amp and hope to have mine in for all the new bump ups..Tom | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 Nrchy I have a pair of the original 3 sided Starsound amps like those at the show. The price depends on the resistors used in the signal path. The pair I have were built with the finest Vishay's available and with out their normal jackets..3 years... | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD This product at this time is available to members of the Pro Buying group..So it is not as widely available ..so the pricing is not as fluid as the lesser models. When the newness wares off in a few months and distribution is widened the price wil... | |
| Best equip stands My personal experience is, there is an improvement of sound quality as mechanical breakin takes hold and coupling is improved. I base this on my experience and those of many customers who I have sold and installed Starsound products..I am a dealer... | |

| B&w spikes Whatever point you use, brand, geometry or material should come into direct contact with your concrete floor..Most all points under weight will pierce the carpet and become direct coupled to the greater mass below. Anything in between the point su... | |
| help buying capacitors Blackgates are overrated and even if they weren't they would be the wrong type for a speaker application. I have used lotsa of resistors and caps from North Creek...resistor upgrade will be cheaper and easier and more rewarding..Tom | |
| sistrum vs neuance Sutts the best way to use your mono amps is to have mono platforms..An Sp-1 for each separate chassis would insure that they are totally mono thru out, except for that one common ground plane ..Earth...I have experienced the change in my personal ... | |
| sistrum vs neuance Sutts being an avid supporter for years of Audiopoints and later Sistrum and now a dealer of both,I would recommend that you not use a shelf of wood or one that decouples..At this point because of the architecture of the Sistrum rack I would use a... | |
