| Fedex Customs problem Same thing happened to me. I bought a Clayton S-40 amp with the Clayton M-200 transformer from HIFI ART in Canada and I had to fill out the form. To me it was actually very simple with not a lot of questions that the Biden administration put it in... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? 2 road trips? A savings of what, $1200 shipping, for a total of both ways?Peace of mind, a chance to tour the Simaudio shop? Can’t argue with that.Man, talk about DIY?

| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Yep, + 1 MC on this one. And if you don't have the original crate and packing material it might be a good idea to get a reasonable facsimile from the OEM just to have it on hand. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I didn’t even know what a class D amp was and as it turns out I had already owned 2, for years. I owned 2 ICE amps that powered my power sound audio subs designed and built and sold by Tom Vodhanel of PSA. Funny thing, he sells a ton these ICE pow... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana I’d be interested to hear what that does. Very expensive. @lewn, not necessarily, I know that some dsp systems are expensive but the Parks Audio Puffin is very reasonably priced with a plethora of functionality and some folks love'em. Simple ... | |

| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's @lovepianos,I went to the B&W 802D’s owner’s manual, see page 3 and you already have two types of telescoping types of speaker lifts to get the subs up off the floor. And they seem to be of very high quality with plenty of length, way more tha... | |

| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? Money trumps all. mijostyn circa 3/25/2021Ain’t that the truth. The above phrase has quite a meaning in today’s times.One of my favorite record stores have been back open to the public for awhile now and it’s time for me to do some crate digging a... | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? The thread title says it all. I can listen to jazz recordings for hours on end but can scarcely name a dozen tunes. My jazz collection is small but still growing. Most recordings sound great. On the other hand, I have a substantial rock, pop an... | |

| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! The 'warm' sound I heard from my Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 turntable was the (very) audible hum from the pulley and belt contact. I was very disappointed.I know this is off topic but could someone explain to me how the human ear hears cogging from direct d... | |

| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? I made the transition years ago, but and this is a big but, my monitors are the (almost) vintage Miller & Kreisel MPS-2510 professional studio monitors paired with (2) PSA (18") 1801’s subwoofers and this ensemble can handle anything I throw a... |
