| Woofers pumping @erik_squires Good point! Looking closely, it is vibrating like it's normal twin, but it also is moving very slowly in and out, about a half inch. Yes it's making bass. It sounds just like its twin. Bear in mind this has only happened twice in a... | |
| Woofers pumping I called B&W again today hoping to be able to talk to a different tech. Apparently, there is only ONE tech, and he isn't any help at all!!! | |
| Woofers pumping @erik_squires Thank you for the info. I'll contact Topping and see if I can get any info. What really surprised me was the tech at B&W didn't have any idea what could cause it to happen!!! | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @dweller @milpai I read that story too. Yes, it was in Stereophile. Unbelievable, indeed. | |

Room sound went from bright and shrill with horrible imaging to neutral and relaxing with a holographic soundstage. My pics are in virtual systems. S... | |

| Can an audio rack be that important? I was skeptical for decades about the sonic benefits of a rack, but finally had one built because I was tired of having gear sitting on the floor. Had a friend who's an artisan build it to my specs. 1.5" butcher block hardwood. 1" square steel ... | |
| Budget preamp with quality volume control OP- I do not own the A90D. I can only speak about the Pre90. I'm sorry I can't help in that regard. | |
| Budget preamp with quality volume control I owned the original Freya (with tubes) and also own the Topping. Both sound very good. The Topping is a little quieter and a little more neutral than the Freya. After comparing the two, I sold the Freya. I've had the Topping for a year or so and... |
