Frequency/Channel imbalance. Help
Honestly if you have swapped left to right channel at the turn table and it does not follow the cable swap meaning it stays still as the problem in one channel.. Then your Phono amp on down might be having something going on... Only other thing is... 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Well if your using a cable that has the simple WBT type casing you just open the casing up with a screwdriver, and disconnect the ground in the power cable itself.. I have done this in the past, then put it back later if needed.. however if you ne... 
Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In?
Sorry to intrude, but fact is I have had very similar things occur and after 300 hours I have had drivers that were very stiff all of a sudden open up and drop quite a bit in impact and octave range... However this is not the whole story, your roo... 
Why do headphones sound so good...
Well Amplifying an Ipod through a good resolution system will never sound as good as it going through headphones #1, To much exposure to the lower quality source in most cases... I thought I would never beat headphones myself, mainly they are just... 
HT speaker system for $1000?
By the way for further clarification, Denon has superior interface, functions, and build to many units.. And is resonably priced, this was not in question.. it is about the amplification section vs. a type of speaker.. Absolutley denon is a great ... 
HT speaker system for $1000?
Okay, I will say this.. Sometimes many will hear one thing that is good till one much better is heard, and until then many will benchmark off a very popular and very decent souding combo... I have Zero disagreement to the denon can work just fine,... 
HT speaker system for $1000?
Flrnlamb, Denon is a bit steril sounding receiver, I have had the 3805 recently, and other denons before that.. This works great with most soft dome tweets and normal dynamic drive speakers.. However not the greatest match with horns, so sure the ... 
HT speaker system for $1000?
I feel this will be somewhat dependent on the Amplification or receiver your using.. Polks are really good for the money.. Mostly perform best with DENON and MARANTZ, Definatley polk with these 2 Also Infinities, and JBL's do pretty good, but most... 
Zu Druid questions
The mini method sub is one of the fastest in the west, and is of course made by zu to match the speed and powerful raw tone of the druids. It is a little pricey, I believe retail is 1500.00, but if you need the extra power down low its not that ha... 
On-board subwoofer amps - limited shelf life ?
Huh, yeah I had the Keiga 1000 watter and it was never even running warm... interesting, but of course I had it probably going on 5 years ago now, so the changes you state might be what is different, I know mine was ICE modules, maybe they are usi... 
On-board subwoofer amps - limited shelf life ?
Johnk, What Digitals are those? Huh, I have had, Bash, Crown, Keiga... All are as cold as the metal they are mounted too even driven for hours at a time.. I have a Digital receiver which is considered a Hybrid for my HT system, and it runs a bit w... 
On-board subwoofer amps - limited shelf life ?
Being that there is a ton of internal vibration, and heat generated in a more sealed enclosure due to driving such low frequencies in a sub… its not that surprising.. But there are better amps that could rectify this I am sure, however most are pr... 
Opinions please
Hmm, interesting… I feel the main advantage is for myself… RCM is no doubt 30 seconds of cleaning oppossed to 30 mins of setting up a clean, safe, and easy to use environment each time to do something so silly… But mainly I feel saftey is the key ... 
Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget
I Stated ORIGIN of the company designing the Unit that speaks english and handles the main support on the unit, is U.S. and Canada based... I simply said DOGE does not seem to have this, and pacific valve does not repair them, and if you call them... 
Zu Druid questions
Bob_reynolds, you are exactly right.. pretty little hardware, big snake like power cables... much is just marketing hype in the audiophile world, that is the good thing about Zu actually as you point out,, They are directly derived from the PRo ar...
