speakers for listener with Tinnitus
What do you mean by that? Can you give an example of what happens when you irritate your tinnitus? For me, a little background noise helps. It "covers it up" enough to where I'm not too distracted to it.Zd542 
Please help with the cable burner
It looks as though the seller used the word "burner" literally. Be careful! 
Quality system, make poor recordings sound better?
To Maplegorvemusic, here's an example of a poorly mastered recording: Dukes Of The Stratoshpear.This is a remastered version done by Carolin Records, whoever they are, and is just awful. To be fair, I have never heard the original on Virgin Record... 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Should say, with headphones I take the volume just to the point where it drowns out the tinnitus squeal. That's as loud as I go. It is more difficult to drown out the tinnitus when listening to speakers. Not sure why, it just seems way too loud wi...

What sub under a grand?
I also use a Gallo sub but thought I'd get laughed off the site for suggesting it. It replaced a sub that was three times as expensive and within the first five minutes of use I thought it was a much better fit.My other suggestion would be a James...

Chayro, So sorry to hear of your loss. Please take care my friend. 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
It seems like the more expensive a car is the less reliable it is. I have never understood this. I have a Honda Civic with 217k miles and it runs like a top.TatersIt's all that over-engineering that kills them. I had a BMW Z4 a year ago. The thing...
