| Burn In Now comes the rub, burn in, I know when you buy a piece of beef at the market you have to cook it before you eat it, the last thing I rolled was not a tube but a joint.That's funny, when was the last time you rolled a joint?Seriously, just let it ... | |
| Just how big is that driver? This is a good quest as my Silverline Audio SR-11s have a woofer specified at 4" while my Usher S-520's woofer is specified at 5". Why do I mention this? I've measured the woofers in both speakers and the Silverline woofer is actually bigger. They... | |
| Best DIY tweak? If you want sharper..cleaner...brighter........darker colors!don't most TVs have adjustments for these qualities? Although I rarely watch TV anymore, if I recall mine does. | |
| PS Audio Trio C-100 full mods experience? Well you asked this question a while ago but I'll give my $.02 anyway. I purchased a fully modded Trio C-100 a week ago and have been listening to it daily (nightly really) and have to say I like it. It seems very well built from the outside. I wi... | |
| PS Audio Trio C-100 vs. NuForce IA-7 V2 ? Recently purchased a C-100 but it is the modified version sold by Underwood Hifi. It is a wonderful little amp; absolutely dead quiet when no music is playing. I have no experience with NuForce gear so no help there. I am comparing it to the Bel C... | |

| Help rotel pops when turning on and off I'm just guessing but when you turn your Sony receiver on you probably have to wait a few seconds for it to actually produce sound and also before it produces sound you will hear a soft click. That click is the protection circuit ensuring the powe... | |
| Help rotel pops when turning on and off Not sure how loud the pops you are hearing are but I have owned several amps that made loud thumps when turned on/off. Rotel RB-981, Adcom (three different models) and a Portal Panache all made annoying thumps. The Rotel also hummed through the sp... | |
| Could use some help in choosing new speakers If you like the Totem sound why not look for a used pair of the Staff or Hawks?I recently purchased a pair of Proac Response 1.5s in your price range. They meet the physical requirements and to my ears sound just like your description.I also saw t... | |
| How much money on speaker cable? My suggestion once you have the system in place is to purchase used cables for reputable sellers here and experiment. It's fun and informative if you don't mind selling the cables that don;t work in your system.After using countless cables ranging... | |
| Best DIY tweak? A new chair in the listening position was a good one for me. It sets about 3 inches lower than my original chair. The sound stage depth increased and it's more comfortable.Just what is your definition of "dramatic?"That is an excellent question 2c... | |
